Schafer shuns med school for shot at UFC stardom
Eric "Red" Schafer's dream of going to medical school has been delayed while he pursues a career in mixed martial arts. The 31-year-old Fond du Lac native, who trains and coaches at the Duke Roufus Academy in Wauwatosa, isn't ready to give up yet. "It's not the smartest career move I chose, but it's fun," Schafer said. "I'm addicted to it. I can't stop yet."
