I hope Pearson goes for takedowns. I don't think anyone would even begin to make the argument that he will win on the feet, I want to see if Barboza has a sprawl.

I've got Cane by tko after Nedkov gasses. I won't be upset if Nedkov wins this one. I will root for Cane because I picked him, but Nedkov is cool.
