Chad Mendes will fight again – only this time it will be with bare knuckles. The 36-year-old former UFC featherweight title challenger announced Wednesday on “ The Joe Rogan Experience ” that he has elected to end his retirement in favor of a multi-fight stint with BKFC. MMA Junkie learned from a person with knowledge of the agreement that the contract is “the most lucrative deal” of Mendes’ career. The person requested anonymity because the terms of the deal were not made public by BKFC. Mendes had UFC fights left on his contract when he retired, but the person said the promotion released him from his deal so he could sign with BKFC. “I just signed a big contract – I’m coming back to fighting,” Mendes told Rogan.
