Chad Mendes has had about two and a half years to think about getting another crack at Frankie Edgar.
Mendes lost to Edgar via first-round knockout at The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale in December 2015. Six months later, Mendes was suspended by USADA after he says he unknowingly took a psoriasis medication which included a banned substance.
So that’s a lot of time to dwell on his most recent loss. And as it turns out, Mendes’ impending return comes at a time in which it very well might make sense for “Money” to rematch Edgar.
