LAS VEGAS – WEC featherweight contender Chad Mendes isn’t afraid to admit it.
Javier Vazquez, who said Mendes had been “spoon-fed”
during his first eight professional contests, got under his skin.
“My initial reaction was anger,” Mendes said. “I can’t believe he said
that. I’ve been wrestling since I was 5 years old. There are sacrifices
I’ve made my entire life, so for him to come in here and say that? I
don’t know where he’s coming from.”
