The main event of UFC Fight Night 63 was a potential featherweight number one contender fight between Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas.
Jose Aldo is the best featherweight in the world. And it’s hard to say Chad Mendes is not a close second.
Mendes proved that again by knocking out Ricardo Lamas at 2:45 of the first round in the main event of UFC Fight Night 63 on Saturday afternoon in Fairfax, Va. Mendes landed a right hand in a scramble and then poured it on from there until referee Dan Miragliotta called a stop to the action.
“I needed to come here and make a statement,” Mendes told Jon Anik afterward. “That’s what I said I was gonna try to do and I got it done.”
Official Result: Chad Mendes defeated Ricardo Lamas by TKO (Strikes, Round 1, 2:45)
