Just re-watched Dunham/Escudero last night. He showed off some really good stuff in that fight. Good on him.

It will be interesting to see two training partners square off against each other.

I don’t know if they are training partners (and what I mean is if he is a training partner like Maynard is to Tyson Griffin or the AKA guys are all close training partners), or if Dunham has trained at Xtreme Couture but is not a permanent fixture there. From what I have heard, fighters come in and out of Xtreme Couture all the time for their camps or to train, and I was under the impression that Dunham has trained there before, but is not one of their permanent fighters.

congrats to Dunham

He has impressed me on more than one occasion already in his short stint in the octagon. He’s tough and if he keeps adding weapons to his game he could be dangerous for anyone at 155.
