Chad Mendes has strong words for his potential UFC 189 opponent in Conor McGregor.
While Jose Aldo seems to be dead set on toughing out a rib injury to compete at UFC 189, his back up is already training hard with a mindset that he's the one already slotted to compete. Chad Mendes appeared at the MMA Hour to speak about his replacement slot, and he didn't mince words about Conor McGregor.
"As soon as they gave me the call and told me to get ready, I basically shut out any possibility that Aldo was coming back," Mendes said.
