LAS VEGAS – Mateus Mendonca was quick to impress at Dana White’s Contender Series 56.
Mendonca (10-0) needed just 48 seconds to knock out CES MMA champion Ashiek Ajim with a blitzing combination that earned him a UFC deal on Tuesday at the UFC Apex. The undefeated Chute Boxe Diego Lima fighter already has his own catchphrase and sent a warning to the UFC’s featherweight division.
“Look at ‘The Cat’!,” Mendonca told MMA Junkie and other reporters through an interpreter.
