Ross Pearson vs. George Sotiropoulos
Ross has worked on his wrestling diligently since the Miller fight. George has also had some bad showings against technical strikers (his last 2 fights come to mind). I see George coming out with improved stand up to set up the shot, but failing to get or hold down Ross, who pounds him for a UD.


Rousimar Palhares vs. Hector Lombard
I see Lombard using his superior clinching skills to keep his man on the fence and wear him down for a boring, but decisive decision victory. Even though Belcher opened up a can of jits on Treestump, he still is one of the most threatening guys in the world in the ground... unless you know... you don't have limbs.

Brad Scott vs. Robert Whittaker
Knockout.
Norman Parke vs. Colin Fletcher
How can i not pick him? He REVERSED AN AMERICANA to win his last fight.

Brendan Loughnane vs. Mike Wilkinson
I win this one. These are my 2 tied-for-second-favorite fighters from the Smashes, first being freakshow.

[alex]

i hope freakshow wins simply because despite having a weird "persona" he was actually the most level headed guy on the show. and cos i love watching gangly skinny fuckers put the beat on people for some reason.

Also parke didnt look -that- impressive on the show.

[Tranquil Suit]

Maybe it's just me, but I'm surprised Rousimar Palhares vs. Hector Lombard wasn't given a bigger spotlight.

I consider it a pretty big attraction.

[Tranquil Suit]

Bet's up.

I'm soo glad Pearson smashed Sotiropoulos. Cant stand that guy.

Feel bad for 'Paul Harris' he just could'nt cope with Hectors standup.

Yeah. Sotiropoulos pretty much sums up Australia's standard in BJJ. Train for 15 years, get knocked the **** out by a technically sound striker.

[blackmonk]

I wish the Sots/Pearson fight had been more competitive, but it was awesome to see Pearson control the fight so well.
