Chad Mendes vs. Myles Jury slated for UFC Boise

Chad Mendes’s first fight in over two years will be against Myles Jury.

The featherweight bout was announced by the UFC on Monday for their upcoming Fight Night event scheduled for the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, on July 14.

Two previously reported bouts were also confirmed, a heavyweight main event between former UFC champion Junior dos Santos and Blagoy Ivanov, and a lightweight bout between contenders Paul Felder and James Vick.

Mendes (17-4) makes his return to competition after serving a two-year USADA suspension for a banned substance that he attributed to a peptide that was included in a psoriasis treatment he was taking.
