A native of England, Pearson has alternated wins and losses since 2014, scoring stoppages over Gray Maynard and Sam Stout, while tasting defeat against Al Iaquinta and Diego Sanchez.
Once considered a blue chip prospect when he made his Octagon debut in 2009, Dunham snapped a three-fight losing streak at UFC 182 in January, topping Rodrigo Damm via unanimous decision.
UFC Fight Night 72 takes place at the SSE Hyrdo Arena in Glasgow, Scotland, and features a middleweight clash between Michael Bisping and Thales Leites as the main event.
