Light heavyweight “Red” Eric Schafer (11-4) will face “Samuray” Antonio Mendes (2-2) UFC 93 in Dublin 17 January, Schafer announced on the weekend at the Gladiator Cage Fighting event.
Mendes was originally scheduled to face Andre Gusmao (5-1), who withdrew from the card for unknown reasons.
Schafer is coming off three first-round victories, most recently against “Assassin” Houston Alexander (8-4) via arm triangle choke in August.
Mendes suffered a submission loss due to strikes to Thiago Silva (14-0) in round one at UFC 84 in May.
