UFC Featherweight fighter Chad Mendes looking for his second victory on December 15 fight against Hacran Dias in Gold Cost, Queensland, Australia.
Mendes confirmed the fight last Monday on Twitter.
“It’s official like a referee whistle!” Mendes tweeted. “I’m fighting Hacran Dias Dec. 15 in Australia.”
Mendes steps into the Octagon for the second time where he is suffering from a first-round knockout last January 14 to 145-pound champion Jose Aldo at UFC 142.
It is also the first time that Chad Mendes lost a mixed martial match during his 13-bout professional career.
Last July 7, he rebounded from a setback by an impressive first-round knockout against Cody McKenzie.
The announcement of the fight against Dias comes a little more than a month since Mendes was hit with a battery charge by the Kings County (Calif.) District Attorney’s Office.
The charge, which was handed down Aug. 24, stems from an alleged physical altercation involving Mendes on July 29 at a Hanford, Calif., bar. Mendes is a resident of Hanford.
Dias (21-1-1) made his UFC debut on June 23 with a unanimous decision over Yuri Alcantara.
