Prediction: correct Pearson   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

I know Maynard will be the favorite, but if his best days are behind him, Pearson may be able to steal this one.

I see no way Pearson loses it tbh. Maynard has a weak chin and likes to stand and trade these days.

I think Pearson will box Maynard up here. What about Camoes? The UFC just tells him to go **** himself or....

@Mike-They are going to reschedule him, either at the same event or probably in Brazil.

pearson probably won that fight. but don't forget diego sanchez is pretty good. anyone whose fought for the title has a little something special to em most of the time, that's a big reason why im goin with maynard here. also those fights with Frankie were so great id like to see him get some redemption wins in the division

The problem with that is, Diego went severely downhill since his fight with BJ

Banking on Maynard's chin and Pearson being experienced enough to fend him off. Hope nobody reminds Maynard he's a wrestler and he keeps trying to strike.

@MikeLovesTacos, don't worry about Camoes dude, the UFC will find an top 10 fighter in a tough stretch to match him up against. Hey, Jim Miller's lost, how about Miller/Camoes II to get him back on the horse. Or Josh Thomson could do with a pick-me-up fight too ... enter Fabricio "The Contender Savior" Camoes. After that I'd send him up to welterweight, Jake Ellenberger's not doing so well ...

I think Maynard can win this if he just tries to take Pearson down but hoping Pearson knocks his lights out.

when the **** did this happen . Gray has been training With Power MMA for this fight camp and they have really been impressing me lately so leaning towards him because of that . if he remembers what wrestling is he should take this .

Gray Maynard is one KO loss away from either retirement or UFC unemployment and the most recent reshuffling lands him an elite striker in Pearson. I feel sorry for Gray.

The question here is, is Maynard's career pretty much at it's sunset or does he have a few more in him? I'm gonna say he does.

Prediction: correct Pearson   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

Pearson isn't really the kind of guy with big power, he's more about volume and accuracy. In fact, I'd say there's a good chance Maynard could stop Pearson. What with all the talk of Gray possibly getting released if he lost again, I think he reverts to his wrestling ways in this fight. The main point I'd want to get across is, at their best, Gray is the better fighter, imo anyway.

I'm so frustrated in Maynard recently, went from title to possibly getting cut with a few more losses, Pearson just hasn't been having a nice past two fights.

@mikeyg That's what I'm worried about. Really hope Pearson wins though.
