Under The Radar: Myles Jury vs Chad Mendes:
By Eduardo Ramon
UFC Fight Night Boise will be headlined by two accomplished heavyweights looking to prove themselves once again, however, there is one featherweight fight that may hold more importance to the division than initially thought.
Myles Jury and Chad Mendes will face off in an effort to enter their names into the featherweight top 10. Jury (17-2) is currently ranked #12 coming off of a decision victory over Rick Glenn and a brutal TKO (elbows) win over Mike De La Torre back in 2017.
Chad Mendes will fight for the first time in 2 years and will be making his return to the cage after serving a two-year USADA suspension due to a banned substance which he attributed to a psoriasis treatment he was taking that contained a peptide.
Both Myles Jury and Chad Mendes have long been staples in their division, Mendes, a 3 time title challenger, wants nothing more than to get his name back into title contention.
UFC Fight Night Boise will take place Sat, July 14 at the Century Link Arena in Boise, Idaho.
