Rick Story Facing Sean Pierson at UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz

UFC officials in Canada have announced yet another welterweight fight for the UFC’s return trip to Montreal, as Sean Pierson and Rick Story will square off at UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz.

Pierson spent most of 2012 out of the cage, but closed out the year with two unanimous decision wins.  Comparably, Story finds himself painted into a corner as he has gone 1-3 in his last four fight meaning he will likely need to get a win over Pierson to guarantee himself another bout in the Octagon.
