UFC 158: Mulhern Replaces Pierson to Fight Rick Story

Rick "The Horror" Story

Mulhern in for Pierson at UFC 158

Welterweight Sean Pierson has been forced to withdraw from his fight with Rick Story at UFC 158 due to the lingering effects of a concussion he suffered last September at UFC 152.

Replacing Pierson will be former Strikeforce contender Quinn Mulhern, a former King of the Cage welterweight champion who has only lost twice in his 20 fight MMA career. He is currently riding a 3 fight win streak and will look to continue the momentum in his UFC debut March 16th in Montreal.

Story, on the other hand, has lost 3 of his last 4 fights, and will be in danger of being cut if he doesn't have his hand raised at the end of this fight.
