In less than two years, Chad Mendes has emerged as one of the elite featherweight prospects in MMA. His next bout is Saturday at WEC 48, but before he began climbing the WEC ranks, he was a standout collegiate wrestler who started his fight career in the Palace Fighting Championships.

Sherdog.com’s Greg Savage has been following Mendes throughout his rise. Part one of this three-part series focuses on Mendes’ introduction to MMA and the beginning of what could become a legacy.
