Yes, I'm serious.
Coming off a submission victory over a powerful wrestler, Cody McKenzie is now moving to featherweight and wasting no time by taking on yet another wrestling-based powerhouse, one of the division's elite, Chad Mendes.
McKenzie's last 11 wins have come via his signature guillotine choke, while the 11-1 Mendes has never been submitted. Both fighters have verbally agreed to the bout, set to take place on July 7th at UFC 148 in Las Vegas.

What a weird booking.

Even if he takes it to the floor, he's smarter than Marcus LeVesseur. I personally think it'll be an exact repeat of the Rani Yahya fight.

This fight makes absolutely no sense. Mendes should be fighting whoever is in the Top 10 that isn't booked or just coming off of a fight but this is the best that the UFC can do at the moment. Smh. Waste of a fight. He should be fighting Nunes or Siver. Also making Hioki/Lamas look like a real joke also.

Could you imagine Cody McKenzie being in the UFC Featherweight Title picture? Me neither.

Mendes does whatever the hell he wants in the cage and win via method of his choice, in round of his choice.
The only question here is are the odds on Mendes going to be bigger than -1000

Cody's striking is possibly the worst striking I've seen in the UFC.
I think UFC 1's Royce would beat him in a kickboxing bout.
Why would they do this to him?

OH MY GOD?!!!..These are the kind of matchups that make me think that Joe Silva or whoever the f---,get the occasional brain f--- and decide by putting names in the hat or something..I don't think I've ever seen a higher man matched up with someone so low in talent and ranking..Cody has nice guillotine chokes.Great,what else has he got?.Nothing.Zilch.
You know 90% of the time, the UFC matchmakers get it spot on,then they put a fight like this, an absolute joke and something that I will never watch..
I would rather watch a game of chess with Jon Fitch versus Tyrone Woodley..

Damn! :shock:
I had no idea he had THAT damn many guillotine wins (and consecutively, no less)!!
I'd be feeling extremely stupid if he caught me and made me #12 on that list....
:lol:
