Clay Guida dropped down to the UFC’s featherweight division with every intention of becoming one of the top 145-pound fighters in the world.

His next fight may go a long way in determining how he measures up.

Guida will fight former featherweight No. 1 contender Chad Mendes at UFC on Fox 7 April 20 in San Jose, Calif. The bout was announced Monday after Mendes was pulled from the Feb. 23 UFC 157 card when officials couldn’t find an opponent after Mendes’ original opponent, Manny Gamburyan, was forced to withdraw due to injury.
