Middleweight “Toquinho” Rousimar Palhares (9-3) will face longtime UFC veteran “Gumby” Jeremy Horn (80-18-5) at UFC 93 in Dublin 17 January, British UFC officials confirmed to Fighters Only Thursday.
Palhares lost his last fight via unanimous decision to Fighters.com’s fifth-ranked light heavyweight “Hollywood” Dan Henderson (23-7) at UFC 88 in September.
Horn is also coming off a loss, most recently to “Boogeyman” Dean Lister (11-5) via first-round guillotine choke at the TUF 7 Finale in June.

Too bad they’re completely rewarding his purposefully crippling that guy in his last fight. I’m usually voting for the BJJ guy but I hope he gets absolutely demolished by Horn. Unfortunately part of his reward seems to be that Horn is a very good opponent for him and will probably get heel hooked too, but hopefully not crippled for life.
