I can confirm that Chad Mendes has indeed decided to retire. Pretty surprised to hear this. He’s still a top level fighter imo. All the best to Chad in his future endeavors. Aldo/Mendes 2 is one of my all time fave fights. He’s been part of some great moments in this sport. ????

Mendes, 33, retires with a record of 18-5 and having lost three title fights. Once for the interim title against Conor McGregor and twice to Jose Aldo. The second of which will be remembered as one of the greatest bouts in featherweight history.
