I got the call from UFC on Sunday afternoon and accepted to fight in a short notice fight on UFC Boston on the 17th. I spent the rest of Sunday and pretty much all Monday working to get done with all the paper work...finally Monday night I sent everything to them and the UFC announced on Tuesday that I took the fight.. on my first training on Tuesday, I was doing a BJJ and rolling with one of my students and I got hurt with 5 days left to the fight.Mendes has stated he believes the UFC will schedule another fight for him in the near future.
