MMA Odds and Ends for Wednesday: Chad Mendes hints at return

Chad Mendes hints at Octagon return

Former three-time featherweight title challenger Chad Mendes posted a picture of himself inside the Octagon yesterday on his Instagram account with a simple message, “Tick tock.”

Mendes tested positive for a growth hormone release stimulator back in June of 2016 and accepted a mandatory two-year suspension from USADA. He’s eligible to return in June. At the time of his suspension, Mendes had lost his last two fights, most recently being knocked out by Frankie Edgar in December of 2015. He has kept busy by participating in grappling competitions as the end of his suspension nears.
