BAD MMA News — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 13:17:13 +0000

A rejuvenated Evan Dunham has fallen back in love with the sport. Dunham (18-8-1 MMA, 11-8-1 UFC) hung up his gloves in 2018 after suffering back-to-back stoppage losses to Olivier Aubin-Mercier and Francisco Trinaldo. But after 19 months away, Dunham says his fire is relit, and he’s hoping to display an even better version of himself. He was scheduled to face Michael Johnson at UFC on ESPN+ 30 this past Saturday, but the event was canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak. Now his return will have to wait

SAO PAULO – Evan Dunham has “no regrets” about his career despite going out in defeat at UFC Fight Night 137. Dunham (18-8-1 MMA, 11-8-1 UFC) suffered a second-round knockout loss to Francisco Trinaldo (23-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC) at Saturday’s event, which took place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium. It spelled the end of a long tenure in the organization for the American, and although he didn’t get his desired result, he said he’s ready to walk away. “I think I’ve prepared myself mentally pretty well for it,” Dunham told reporters, including MMAjunkie, during his post-fight scrum. “I knew going into it, win, lose or draw I was going to be proud of myself, and I already know what I’m going to do. … I have a responsibility to myself and the fighters coming up behind me, that when your body is telling you it’s time to quit, it’s time to hang it up
