01-11-2010 11:50 PM:Evan Dunham is one tough hombre. He was on queer street for two minutes in the first round but came back to physically punish Efrain Escudero in the second and third rounds. Ninety seconds into the final round, Dunham transitioned from side control and eventually caught the champ from Season 8 of "The Ultimate Fighter" in an armbar. Escudero tried to hold out but his arm was being hyperextended badly. Referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the fight at 1:59 of the final round.
Escudero (13-1, 3-1 UFC) laid on the mat for a few seconds and it looked like the arm was damaged badly. He was holding it and cringing as he walked back to the lockerroom. It was the first loss of Escudero's career as Dunham pulled the upset as a plus-220 underdog.
The end was a surprise after what was a completely one-sided opening round where Escudero teed off on Dunham. Escudero landed a big knee and then an uppercut that rocked Dunham. Two more rights and Dunham was on his butt. Escudero got on top but it probably wasn't the right place to finish against a jiu-jitsu brown belt. Dunham (10-0, 3-0 UFC) scrambled and survived. He turned things around in the second and really overpowered Escudero on the ground.
