I can agree with that. I don't think Couture is ready for this step up in competition. He can prove us wrong though which I wouldn't mind. He was gifted a win against Noons, but it's still a win. Pearson is stylistically a harder match up for him though in my opinion.
It better not be a so so wrestler or it will leave them a little unhappy. Plus they need a British hope. Hardy looks like he doesn't want to fight and Bisping keeps getting KOd.
Thread is hilarious. People calling for Ryan to Randy his way to a win because he MAY have won round 1. Then he proceeded to get smashed.
Not sure why Ross gets so much bashing. No one here thinks he is elite. But he is a decent fighter. He fought to a close dec. in a striking match with Barboza in Brazil. He now has 2 devastating KOs in a row. Ross is a solid all round fighter and a good guy.
Even more credit to him for fighting with a messed up foot and not letting it get to him.
I don't think we should give Pearson Diaz yet. It's not a good match up for him in my opinion. Pearson is getting a decent streak going though, and I'd like to see him build it up more. I'd love to see him face Khabib. Ross is a good fighter and doesn't deserve the flak he gets from time to time.
cerrone needs a win and hasn't looked all that great lately. pearson has looked good but against lesser competition. on the one hand cerrone wants to stay relevant and on the other ross wants to become relevant..
truth is though if pearson can beat cerrone that says a lot, and that is a tough matchup for him so if he can become the victor then he will earn a lot of points among the MMA community...
Cerrone is overrated, Pearson could beat him if he fights smart.
Stout/Gomi both would be good fights, though I think Gomi would drag Pearson into a brawl easier than most guys
