The lightweight clash joins a UFC 167 bill topped by a welterweight title headliner between Georges St. Pierre and Johny Hendricks. The pay-per-view event takes place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and will also see Rashad Evans square off with Chael Sonnen in a light heavyweight co-main event.

Cerrone, 30, has alternated wins and losses in his last four fights, going 1-2 thus far in 2013. “Cowboy” kicked off the year with first-round knockout loss to future lightweight champion Anthony Pettis but rebounded with a dominant victory over Strikeforce vet K.J. Noons. Cerrone saw his momentum halted in his most recent outing, however, falling in a unanimous decision to Rafael dos Anjos last month at UFC Fight Night 27.

Dunham also stumbled against dos Anjos in his last in-cage appearance, dropping a hard-fought and controversial unanimous decision to the Brazilian this past May at UFC on FX 8. Prior to that contentious result, Dunham earned a split verdict over Gleison Tibau at February’s UFC 156.
