UFC: Fight for the Troops 2 - Florrian vs Dunham

Rumor has it that Kenny Florian will face off against Evan Dunham as the UFC: Fight for the Troops 2 main event. Coming fresh off a very controversial loss to Shawn Sherk at UFC 119, Evan Dunham will be looking to prove a point. Dunham was 11-0 going into the Sherk fight, and most would agree Dunham won his fight against Sherk although the judges did not see it that way.

Kenny Florian on the other hand was just one fight away from contendership, when the Boston native chocked in front of his hometown crowd and suffered a unanimous decision loss to Gray Maynard. With Florian being such a scrapper he might be able to pull out the decision, however I don't see him defeating Dunham via TKO. Although 9 out of 13 wins were by way of submission, it's also highly unlikely he will be able to submit Dunham. Kenny's only hope is to out work Dunham all three rounds.

Evan Dunham has only lost once, and will be looking to prove to the world he is still someone to fear. If he is able to defeat Florian, it will greatly help to overshadow his recent loss to Sherk. Dunham has the tools to beet Florian, especially if Florian takes it to the ground like he so often does. Duham has finished over half his fights on the ground, and is more than capable of submitting the talented wrestler. This match will go to the fighter that wants it more and is not afraid to pull the trigger. I call Evan Dunham via 2nd round submission, or unanimous decision.
