Chad Mendes open to Urijah Faber fight: ‘Money talks’

Former UFC featherweight title challenger Chad Mendes is open to fighting Urijah Faber, but only if the money is worth the effort.

Fans and pundits appear to have a morbid fascination with watching teammates fight each other, even if title contention of championship gold are not the incentivizing factors. This appears to be the case with Urijah Faber, who constantly has to bounce off questions about whether he is open to fighting his teammates, bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw or the consensus No. 2 fighter at featherweight Chad Mendes.

While Faber has been able to dodge the questions quite well in the past, his teammates chose a more overt approach and suggested that they would be open to the fight with the correct financial incentive.
