UFC 146 is shaping up to be one hell of an event. In addition to the highly anticipated heavyweight title bout pitting challenger Alistair Overeem against the reigning champion, Junior dos Santos, and the recently announced middleweight date between Jason “Mayhem” Miller and C.B. “The Doberman” Dollaway, a lightweight bout featuring Edson Barboza and Evan Dunham has officially filled a slot on the card.

With a professional mark standing at 10-0, the Brazilian has pieced together four consecutive victories inside the octagon.
