‘Samuray’ Mendes back to UFC in 2009 in Dublin , Ireland

Quote:

After debuting in UFC with a loss against Thiago Silva in the 84th edition, Antonio ‘Samuray’ Mendes will be back in action in January 2009. The Europe Top Team athlete, who fought seven times in 2007 and won all the fights, will fight at January 17th in Dublin, Ireland, and might face another Brazilian fighter. After facing Thiago Silva, Samuray might fight with Andre Gusmão, that also did one fight in the event and loss to Jon Jones by unanimous decision.

He was pretty damn exiting in his UFC debut and should account for some prelim instant classic if he's matched up with someone at his level.

Nice to hear a loss to Thiago Silva doesn't mean he's out of the picture.

He's a very poor fighter and doesn't belong in the stacked division.

UFC in Dublin? I'm there.
