Prediction: wrong Pierce   wrong Decision  

Very very tough fight.. Both great wrestlers so it might cancel out, Koscheck is probably a bit better. I think it will be mostly stand up, Where I think Koscheck is good but a bit overrated.. Pierce is good standing too. Whatever way this goes it will be very close, I think I will take the underdog for now but i'll probably switch a bit.

Prediction: correct Koscheck   correct Decision  

Pierce is a tough guy, and he hits pretty hard, but I don't see him having any advantage technically over Koscheck. 

It should be a tough fight, but as long as Koscheck doesn't get reckless and catch a hot one on the chin, he is the more skilled and athletic fighter., and should beat Pierce.

Koscheck takes a decision here. I was tempted to pick him by submission, for some reason. I think he could get an RNC in this fight.

Wrestling might be even, but Kos has better stand up. I'll be rooting for Pierce though.

Kos is going to control the pace throughout the fight, and get the tapout in the 3rd to win SOTN :)

I don't know if out "class" is really appropriate in this case, but he probably will prove he's the better fighter.

Didn't Koscheck say something about only wanting "big fights" after he lost to GSP?  This seems an odd choice.

i don't think kos got a choice. all the other big welterweights are booked up at the moment, at least it seems that way.

This will be dull. Boring. Fifteen minutes. But Kos will finish on top.

I may take a shot on Pierce. Both good wrestlers. The thing is that Kos was getting outstruck by Hughes before he connected with the haymaker.

Ah why does everyone go back to that?!  I'd be lying if I said it didn't bug me.  You have to realize that he was coming off nearly a year layoff, surgery, and took the fight on a couple weeks notice.

I'm curious to see how much better Koscheck's eye has healed up. It seemed to still be bothering him in his fight with Hughes.
