I know Gomi is way out of his prime here but that line is appealing. Also, Struve looks like a decent bet as well. Roy ain’t THAT good.

I would take Siver over Pearson. It’s not just the spinning back kicks either, Siver does use angles for his punches. Pearson’s fighting style relies more on pressuring his opponents and pushing forward.

yes he is

struve hasn’t face a black belt in the ufc yet. If struve beats Roy, Stefan has arrived IMHO. But country will smother him. country’s got moves for a tubby dude. Nelson by countra-fix in the first.

BigRoy will smother him like country gravy on a biscuit

One of my favorite lines from the best TV show ever.
