VIDEO: Chad Mendes almost suffers another loss to an Irishman…in an arm wrestle

The UFC man struggles, for about a second

For a mere mortal an arm wrestle would not be the safest way to take on a UFC fighter.

Certainly if it was us we would not be even be entertaining the idea of taking on any man who trains professionally in various forms of combat at anything.

But these group of Irish lads in Vegas for the Conor McGregor fight last Saturday had other ideas.

Elbows on the table, arms straight and pretty much try not to snap any bones are the basic rules of any arm wrestle and we have to say in this clip there’s no cheating from UFC featherweight Chad Mendes.

However, the same cannot be said for Ian Doody and his friends as it takes more than one arm to try and get Mendes to submit after a early show of strength from the Irish lads.

Ian also confirmed he had another pop at the American after his failure at arm-wrestling
