VIDEO: Watch Chad Mendes arm wrestling an Irish man in Vegas

He's got some balls

For the second time in recent memory, Chad Mendes lost to an Irishman.

The Irish took over Vegas last weekend during Conor McGregor’s incredible victory over Jose Aldo at UFC 194.

Both men were of course supposed to originally fight in July, only for Aldo to withdraw through injury, allowing Chad Mendes to step in.

The American fighter has appreciated the Irish support ever since that fight, so he was more than happy to hang out with Irish man Ian Doody and his pals over the weekend.

Well, it turns out they did more than just hang out, as an impromptu arm wrestling contest broke out. Have a look.

Fair play to Mendes, he’s some man and he’s awful sound for taking it a bit easy on the lads as well!
