Lightweight Contenders Barboza, Dunham To Meet At 'UFC 146'

A key battle in the UFC's lightweight division has been signed for UFC 146, as Edson Barboza and Evan Dunham will collide. The card is set for May 26 from Las Vegas.

While still not announced, a heavyweight battle for the belt between Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem is the likely main event. Barboza-Dunham should land a spot on the pay-per-view main card.
