A few short months ago, it looked like Chad "Money" Mendes was about to
hit paydirt: a title shot against featherweight champ Jose Aldo.
A tentative date was rumored: UFC 133 on Aug. 6 in Philadelphia. The undefeated Mendes would tangle with the Brazilian beast.
Then injuries surfaced once again for the champ following the first
successful defense of his title against Mark Hominick at UFC 129. But
wait - Aldo might not be ready until September or October, per his
manager.
