Step down for Pearson imo, they should him someone a little better.

I don’t think so, this is a different style match-up he has yet to see in the UFC. This will really tell us where Pearson is in his game.

Yea, miller is no joke and is always improving.

It is a different style matchup, but I would like to see how Pearson does against a wrestler because that will really tell us where Pearson is in his game. Pearson’s standup is pretty solid and he is good defensively, but I would like to see if he can defend takedowns well. Cole Miller is mainly a BJJ guy, so if Cole can get the fight to the ground, it will be very interesting.

LOL

Cole is going to tap him.

Wow

Cole Miller is a very good fighter and a super tough test for Pearson. This is great matchmaking.

I think this is a good match up, will hopefully see how Pearson copes with Miller’s reach and ground game.

by ShiftyK on May 31, 2010 8:23 PM EDT reply actions  

Pearson will walk through

Cole’s reach I reckon. For some reason I thought he’d get Stout next though, I don’t know where that came from.

by Terminhater on May 31, 2010 8:27 PM EDT reply actions  

It’d be a great fight, but Pearson’s already demonstrated his standup against good kickboxers. I’m ready to see him fight a good BJJ guy and hopefully a wrestler next. Depending on the outcome, I think Guida would be a good fight next.

by juggmaster on Jun 1, 2010 9:47 AM EDT up reply actions  

I like it

That would be a great fight. Given Pearson stand up ability. A fight against jeremy stephens would undoubtely be a fotn candidate.

they usualy try and build the tuf winners up

If they were in the ufc longer the matchup will definetly happen

The Red Wings will come back stronger

I second that (Pearson v. Stephens)

Russ has been looking better each fight.

Yes please

And I hope Melvin decapitates him.

What about lil ‘Heathen could possibly piss you off to the point where you’d want to see him decapitated? He is a great kid who always puts on exciting fights. Whats not to like?

Yes

I want him to be literally decapitated.

I called for winner of Stout/Stephens vs. Guillard before it happened.

It was a great idea when I thought of it and it’s a great idea when you thought of it. We should go be geniuses together somewhere. Probably an island.

They're doing a much better job with these Fight Night cards

Belcher/Maia is a good headliner for a freebie and Pearson/Miller is going to be a fun scrap.

Ross needs a new nic-name. I vote for Ross “Perot” Pearson.

I like this a lot. Riley’s a jack-of-all-trades sort of fighter, and Siver was a good stand-up test. Miller presents an entirely different set of challenges: he’s gonna have a big height/reach advantage (Pearson isn’t the biggest 155 in the first place), and he’s got a legit ground game.
