There are three viable contenders sitting right behind Jose Aldo waiting for a crack at the UFC’s featherweight champion.
Those men are Chad Mendes, Ricardo Lamas and Cub Swanson.
All three have a legit claim to challenge for the title and as such they took to twitter and discussed their case amongst each other.
Check it:
Alright @josealdojunior it's time for the rematch. I am the #1 contender…… period! Lets do this.
