Chad Eduardo Mendes (born May 1, 1985) is an American professional bare-knuckle boxer, and former mixed martial artist and collegiate wrestler who is currently signed to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). He gained notoriety competing in the featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he was a three-time UFC championship challenger, and had also competed in the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC).
Having competed in collegiate wrestling as a Cal Poly Mustang, Mendes was a two-time NCAA Division I All-American and a Pac-10 Conference champion.
Mendes wrestled for California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo, California. He finished his career with an overall record of 64–14 and twice earned NCAA All-American honors at 125 pounds as a sophomore, then 141 pounds as a senior. As a senior, Mendes finished the year with a 30–1 record; he placed 2nd in the 2008 NCAA championships at 141 lb., falling to Ohio State's J Jaggers in the title match. That year, Mendes was Pac-10 Wrestler of the Year.
After the conclusion of his collegiate career, Mendes began to train in mixed martial arts with Team Alpha Male. He began fighting for the Palace Fighting Championship and went undefeated.[citation needed]
Mendes made his WEC debut against Erik Koch on March 6, 2010 at WEC 47. He won the fight via unanimous decision, despite a cut over his right eye that was examined during the fight to see if he could continue.[citation needed]
Mendes faced Anthony Morrison, replacing an injured Mackens Semerzier, on April 24, 2010 at WEC 48. He won the bout via first round submission.
Mendes faced Cub Swanson on August 18, 2010 at WEC 50. He won the fight via unanimous decision (30–27, 29–28, and 29–28).

During the fight, Mendes used an unorthodox move when he front flipped on Vazquez who was on the ground, to land on him.[citation needed]
