UFN 23 – Evan Dunham looking to give Guillard plenty of problems on his feet and dictate where the fight takes place

UFC lightweight prospect, Evan Dunham has been speaking about his upcoming fight with Melvin Guillard next weekend at UFC Fight Night 23 in Fort Hood, Texas, explaining he plans on giving “The Young Assassin” plenty of problems on the feet and dictate where the fight takes place from there.
Speaking via UFC.com, Dunham said:

“My goal right now is to beat Melvin — that’s all I care about. Melvin is a really explosive, well-rounded fighter. I think a lot of people don’t give his ground credit but if you look at the guys he’s fought recently, you know, high level black belts, he’s beat them, he’s survived on the ground. I think I present a lot of problems for him. I think I’ll be able to dictate what goes on, take the fight where I want it. I’m not going to go in there and trade one shot for one shot. I’ve been working a lot of footwork and working my Muay Thai and I think I’ll be able to give him a look he’s not used to and give him lots of problems from it and win the fight that way.”

Dunham’s rise to the top and undefeated streak came to an end when he lost a close split decision to former champion, Sean Sherk. Prior wins over the likes of Efrain Escudero and Tyson Griffin had made him a force to be reckoned with at 155 pounds.
