- Dunham: Changing of the Guard?When Evan Dunham first stepped into the Octagon at UFC 95 against Per Eklund, it would have come off as a fool’s notion to think that just a year-and-a-half later the up-and-comer would be talking about Sean Sherk as a worthy opponent for him.

Mike Pierce says he’ll stand and bang when he gets the right match-up.
The UFC welterweight earned his third octagon victory this past Saturday when he submitted newcomer Amilcar Alves at UFC 118 with a straight armbar.
So far, he’s chugged forward by keeping his opponents on the mat. But he’s only graced the main card of one event – a short-notice meeting with perennial contender Jon Fitch. But Pierce knows just the opponent who could provide an exciting televised matchup.
