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!
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.
