Rd 1 goes to Pearson.
Pearson looks like the real deal, put him against fellow Brit, Etim.
Also, must say, the Brits overall could have lb for lb the best technical striking in mma. They definitely seem to be ahead of the curve with their technical striking to the Americans.
john joe - Pearson looked awesome. That was a brilliant performance; K-1 in a cage.not quite but good nonetheless. Pearson has looked legit from day 1.
Our striking rules but our wrestling sucks. YOu are right though. It will always be an issue. You simply cannot expect to get to the level of guys who have been competitively wrestling since school
PEARSON & BISPING impressed me the most tonight!
ross made riley look like a can!!(which he def aint!)
WAR ROSS!!!!
im so proud of ross tonight!!!!
he was a big underdog yet he dominated riley!
his boxing & m/thai looked great!
also i was born about 15 miles away from ross so im a bit biased!
WAR ROSS
Ross Pearson looked really good tonight in the cage. Striking was crisp and quick. Great awareness of distance and timing. Look for big things from this kid in the future.
he looked very solid
I was very impressed. I think he may have trouble with the big strong wrestlers. There's so much talent at 155 it's fucking ridiculous.
Ross has stepped his game up from what I saw on TUF; very diversified striking game tonight. Props to the "Real Deal".
Ross Pearson looked VERY solid. I can't wait to see him fight again.
This was an AWESOME fight!!! I can't wait to see Pearson again!
Pearson is pretty fucking far from sloppy kickboxing
