A breakdown of what could go down tonight at Fight for the Troops 2!
Evan Dunham vs Melvin Guillard

Dunham will be eager to get back in the win column after a controversial split decision loss to Sean Sherk at UFC 119. Guillard on the other hand will be confident entering the fight on a three fight win streak. I think we will see Dunham take this fight to the ground and use his superior grappling skills to wear his opponent down and submit The
