LAS VEGAS -- Chad Mendes and UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo may have spent 30 minutes of their lives trading haymakers together inside an eight-sided cage, but they can at least agree on one thing: their dislike of UFC 189 headliner Conor McGregor.
Mendes, who fights against McGregor for the interim UFC title on July 11, addressed a tweet to Aldo earlier this week disparaging McGregor and asking for the support of the injured champion's Brazilian fanbase. The way McGregor sees it, the entire interaction was simply proof of what the Irishman has been preaching about his competitors from the time he began his ascent up the featherweight division.
