Exciting matchup, and most likely a win for Pearson

Sick fight!
Diego will customarily leave DNA all over the cage.

Pearson, afterwards Diego will announce he spent the night before watching Gilmore Girls and that's why he was unable to perform.

Good Fight. Pearson looked in all kinds of trouble against Guillard, he got lucky there. Interesting to see how he handles Sanchez's intensity

So this ABQ card has Bendo/Khabilov, Dodson/Moraga, and now this. Excellent free card

Yeah some. Off the top of my head it's better than 171 and the Jones/Sonnen card (forgot the number)

People are either really overrating Pearson or I'm underrating him but imo this is an easy win for Diego. He's not going to be afraid of anything Pearson throws and I don't see Ross having the fight IQ to stay with a stick and move strategy. All Diego here.

Ross's technical boxing will beat Diego's brawling style probably 75% of the time I think. They both have very good cardio, so it's just a matter of whether Diego can make it a dogfight and get Ross down. Which won't be easy.

I agree I dont rate Pearson either he is just not that good, Diego is not great either but he has tremendous heart and I think he gets the W here.

I think Ross has good enough tdd to keep the fight standing where I think he'll pick Diego off from the outside and plenty of movement. Obviously he wont stop Diego, but I do however give Diego a chance in this to win with a big punch or if he can get a takedown or few.
