Two more bouts have been added to the nearly complete UFC fight Night 28 (formerly UFC on Fox Sports 1 #3) fight card. Welterweights Kenny Robertson will face Joao Zeferino while lightweight Francisco Trinaldo takes on UFC newcomer Piotr Hallmann on the Sept. 4 event. Robertson (12-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC) lost his first two UFC bouts to Mike Pierce and Aaron Simpson before logging his lone UFC victory against Brock Jardine at UFC 157 . He is coming off a loss in his last outing to Sean Pierson and is in desperate need of a win. Zeferino (13-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will try to get his first UFC win when he faces Robertson. He made his promotional debut on May 18, losing a unanimous decision to Rafael Natal. Trinaldo (13-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is on a two-fight winning streak with victories over C.J.

WINNIPEG – Canadian slugger Sean Pierson snuffed out Kenny Robertson’s wrestling attack for 10 minutes and then survived a third-round comeback bid to secure a majority-decision win. The welterweight bout was part of today’s UFC 161 event at MTS Centre in Winnipeg. It aired on FX after additional prelims on Facebook and ahead of a pay-per-view main card. Robertson lunged forward for takedowns from the opening bell, but Pierson snuffed out the early shots and looked to counter with punches. Robertson’s continued efforts were briefly rewarded with a takedown, but Pierson quickly escaped back to his feet and continued to defend well with each subsequent shot. While Pierson suffered a small cut under his right eye during the striking exchanges, he ended the opening round with a few heavy combinations. Pierson opened up on the feet in the second frame, and Robertson’s aggressive takedown attack all but disappeared.

UFC 161′s Sean Pierson knows retirement looms – but not just yet

BAD MMA News — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 03:15:00 +0000

At 37, Canadian Sean Pierson is growing into comfort inside the octagon. Now, he needs to get moving before he hangs up his gloves. “Everybody is struggling for me to chase my dream, and I can’t be selfish forever,” he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I’m going to have to end that soon.” The end is not near, Pierson (13-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) cautioned. He’s still got plenty of fights left in him, including his next, a meeting with fellow welterweight and injury replacement Kenny Robertson (12-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at UFC 161, which takes place Saturday at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
