Quoteworthy:
"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."
Evan Dunham is ready to erase the memory of his controversial split decision loss to Sean Sherk at UFC 119 last September by knocking off surging lightweight Melvin Guillard when the two square off at UFC: "Fight for the Troops 2" on Jan. 22 in Fort Hood, Texas. "The Young Assassin" has won six of seven fights and thinks he's destined to win 155-pound gold before the year is out. Dunham believes he's got the drop on his aggressive counterpart and will have him confused on fight night with heavy footwork and an improving Muay Thai game. Will Guillard, who currently trains with tactical master Greg Jackson, fall into his old aggressive ways and get sloppy if "3-D" implements his gameplan? Let's hear your thoughts on the matter.

Dunhan should take this easily, but i’m tired of people talking about how controversial his loss to Sherk was it was a close fight but he lost.

Melvin is improving at Greg Jackson's MMA.
Having a solid gameplan and more importantly sticking to that gameplan seems to be helping Melvin progress rather nicely. I was never a big fan of MG but he seems more and more polished everytime he steps in the cage. Also hes clearly more explosive and that could be a factor in the fight.
SHIT!
i hope Dunham doesn’t take this one easily, Guillard used to be one of my favorite fighters to watch but honestly i don’t like his new fighting style, i know it’s safe and it’s an strategy but meh.. i don’t like fighters staring at each others, this is a sport i know.. but this is an Entretaintmen Sport, the business is to sell pay per views and promote the sport!
GO DUNHAM!
