Chad Mendes at the UFC on FOX 9 Press Conference in Sacramento (Video)

Chad Mendes at the press conference held for UFC on FOX 9 at the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif., on Oct. 3, 2013.

Mendes is about as close to another title shot as a fighter can get without standing across from the champion in the Octagon. He hasn’t slowed down, however, and faces Nik Lentz next when they square off at UFC on FOX 9 on Dec. 14.
