Im became a fan after the performance he put on last time. Very interested to see if he can do it again.

Pearson should have little to no problem with Dennis Siver. Especially after seeing him completely shutdown Aaron Riley.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

Assuming he can avoid that spinning back kick.

I love watching Siver’s fights, because those kicks are beautiful.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

I might actually see this live.

?

Was Siver not supposed to be fighting Etim? To be fair to Etim he deserves a bigger fight than that! No disrespect to Siver though, he’s a dangerous fucker. Ask Paul Kelly!

It was a false rumor

Etim’s fighting Dos Anjos, and now Siver-Pearson

Where is the dos Anjos rumour come from?

Just seen Terry Etim in ASDA’s while doing the weekly shop

While Pearson was, at least IMO, one of the more likeable guys in the US vs UK house, I was not too impressed with his UD over Winner in the Finale. However, his boxing against Riley made me a fan and if he comes in with the same plan, he and Siver should make for a good (presumably) first fight to start off the main event card.
