UFC featherweight Cody Mckenzie is known for his long hair and super awesome mustache that gives him +10 strength but at UFC 148 he will step into the Octagon minus his two signature features. Like Samson back in Babylonian times, will no stache and long hair affect Mckenzie in his bout with Chad Mendes? Well on thing is for sure, he will not have to worry about split ends and impaired vision as we caught up with the featherweight prior to tonights bout.
He admits to our Michael Mardones that he feels bad fighting Mendes given the fact that the two have trained together over at Alpha Male the home gym of Mendes. It highlights a question MMA fans have asked since the inception of big team gyms, should friends fight each other? Our response to that is attach a couple zero’s at the end of that check these fighters get and nine times out of ten, we bet your ass everyone will say YES! YES! ala Diego Sanchez.
