Chad Mendes is ready to
enter the UFC with an undefeated record after beating Javier Vazquez by unanimous decision at WEC 52.
Mendes used his superior wrestling to grind out a decision against Vazquez, with all three judges scoring it 30-27 for Mendes. The win gives Mendes a 9-0 record, and he has to be considered one of the top featherweights in the UFC, just as soon as the UFC absorbs the WEC’s featherweights in 2011.

Several of the WEC’s fights over its final two events have implications that will affect the division when it is rechristened with three familiar letters.
One of those bouts is WEC 52‘s featherweight matchup pitting unbeaten Chad Mendes against veteran Javier Vazquez. Both men are trying to work their way to the front of the line for consideration at a title shot. But to hear Vazquez tell it, Mendes hasn’t exactly earned his keep. In a recent interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Vazquez said that while Mendes is a good athlete, “he’s been kind of spoon-fed in a lot of ways,” and “the second he runs into somebody he can’t just bully around, he’s going to break.”
