Reinvigorated Dunham completely dominates Lauzon
Evan Dunham unleashed the most complete performance of his career against Joe Lauzon on Friday night.
Eschewing the usual exhausting grinding ground attack he regularly employed in the past, Dunham easily outworked Lauzon in the striking game, uncorking a high volume of slick, crisp combinations, while the generally ineffective Lauzon amounted to little more than a sentient heavy bag.
Love Dunham's combination work. He picks his shots really well and mixes up the timing, slipping in an extra half-beat here and there.

Couple this apparent reinvigoration with a three-fight winning streak, and Dunham could eventually be moving into the upper echelon of the leather-tough lightweight division.
Conversely, the historically exciting Lauzon looked slow and listless, the potential result of a career full of scintillating firefights finally catching up to him.
