UFC Welterweight Mike Pierce is a man that gets little to no publicity in the stacked 170 lb. division. However, he is a fighter who never seems to go away and puts on close battles each time out to the Octagon. He is also an active fighter in a time when many are not, having fought three times in 2012.
