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.

I hope Ross gets a top 10 guy next. Fighting the Ryan Couture's of this world will never give him an indication of where he stands in the division.

I can see Ryan getting somebody like George Sotiropoulos (have to google that name everytime). To be honest can see him losing that fight too.

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.

i think pearson and cerrone is a good matchup...

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 much more dangerous than Gomi/Stout though.

Cerrone is technical standing and dangerous on the ground, look at the Siver fight, if he clips you he'll take you on the ground.

Gomi presents a great chance for Pearson to prove he's not the bull he was, if he can be aggressive AND technical he can beat Gomi to the punch all night long.

Both big names that Pearson can take something away from.

Gomi has more power than Cerrone. Cerrone is dangerous but Pearson has the head movement to deal with Cerrone.

All 3 guys give Pearson a good fight and allow him to make a statement
