Former UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk is a possible opponent for up and coming fighter Evan Dunham at UFC 119 which is currently scheduled for Indiana on September 25 as reported by MMAWeekly.
Dunham is a more than worthy opponent and is currently riding a four fight win streak including a great victory over Tyson Griffin. Dunham has not tasted defeat yet in his career and a win over Sherk would be huge towards a push at the lightweight title.
Sherk, once one of the most feared fighters in the UFC lightweight division, has been injured for at least a year, and coupled with his last fight being a loss, seems to be moving towards becoming a gatekeeper for the lightweight division. A solid win against Dunham would certainly make a strong case for him to move up the ladder towards an eventual shot at the lightweight title.
