UFC: Fight For The Troops 2 Preview: SB Nation Breaks Down The Main Fight Card

Evan Dunham vs Melvin Guillard

Evan Dunham really needs a strong showing tonight against Melvin Guillard if he wants to stay in the UFC’s lightweight title discussions. He’s coming off the first loss of his career back at UFC 119 with Sean Sherk in a razor thin decision — a score that many pundits found controversial.

Joey Beltran vs Pat Barry

I enjoy Pat Barry as much as our semi-progressive society allows, but he’s not the world beater so many have made him out to be. Anyone who argues that should push back from the keyboard, find the nearest mirror, and take a long, hard look. Everyone seems to think all Barry needs to do to win this thing is wait for the octagon door to close, but I’m not so sure. His ‘fight’ with Mirko Cro Cop was an embarrassment. For him to lose that fight will forever make me question his ability to fully transition into MMA. And remember when he was choked out by Tim Hague? What was that about?

Cole Miller vs Matt Wiman

I have to believe that Matt Wiman would really like to get the bad taste out of his mouth following the fiasco that took place with Mac Danzig. If you didn’t catch it, Yves Lavigne wrongfully stepped in to prematurely end their fight at UFC 115 after it appeared that Danzig had been caught in a tight guillotine. Wiman won by technical submission, but I’m sure he didn’t walk away from that fight feeling great about it.

Stay tuned to SB Nation MMA as we break down the main card and try to make sense of our predictions.
