Sotiropoulos is overall the more skilled fighter but something tells me Ross takes this one. I think hes gonna at some point, likely later in the fight, hurt Sotriopoulos and beat him down badly stopping the fight.
This is how I feel, although technically George is a wizard on the ground and his boxing is very underrated, he just doesn't really have the best ability to take the fight to the mat, I'd like to see him pull guard more and work for subs and sweeps.
I think Pearson will out work him on the feet. He's got much better footwork and is a lot faster. His head movement is great if he doesn't decide to just stand there and brawl.
He's been rocked and finished a few times now, I think he'll be a lot tighter and technical this fight and will either get a UD or a late TKO.
Should be G-Sots fight to lose but seeing the commercials and what looked like some bad blood makes me suspect he will get caught up emotionally look to strike and end up losing.
G-Sot should take him down (which he should be able to do) control him with his lead hips (should easily be able to do) and sub him when the opportunity presents itself. (should be able to do).
Never been super impressed with Pearson but he has steadily improved but unless he has a trick or G-Sot gifts him by fighting his fight I don't see him winning.
Both guys showed exactly what they were expected to show, Pearson is the better striker and G-Sot the better grappler.
G-Sot has got to go for the TD what is his malfunction?
