“Who else is there that can beat me”
ARE YOU KIDDING??? UMMMM Nick Diaz, Karo Parisian , and even the horrible Drew Fickett. Keep tryin to hype yourself up Pellegrino but your gonna get demolished by “Big Daddy”. I would not say Pellegrino deserves a title shot at all. Once “Big Daddy” manhandles you and is sayin “Whos your Daddy” your gonna be cryin like a little girl sayin “Im your bitch daddy”!! See you in the IFL or WEC soon Pellegrino!

He will just look extra lame if he loses now.

Ok you are thinking of the wrong weight class they are fighting at 155.

But the 155 divison is so packed, kurt could get beat by a bunch of people, bj,edgar,tavares,guida,griffin

what about a guy named “bj penn”

[quote comment="118078"]what about a guy named “bj penn”[/quote]

was he beat by BJ also?? or were you sayin that BJ should be fighting for the title cause i definately agree with you

yah #1 sorry but your talking about welter weights not lightweights n theres alot of lightweights that can beat kurt…bj..sherk..roger..florian…hell throw him doug evans

Seeing that Pellegrino isn’t even in the Top 25 LW’s in the world, I would think that its pretty safe to say that there are at least 25 LW fighters that would whoop that ass.

This isn’t a #1 contender match, right? No way. I thought it was just a fight that Daddy Stevenson needs to win to get a possible shot at the possibly vacant title.

You guys gotta think though, lol, he’s a fighter, of course he’s gonna say this, what else would he say? ” Oh yes, I’m pretty sure everyone in the weight class could take me”, come on. But seriously, Stevenson is the man, so it’ll be nice to see him again. Hopefully a title shot is coming for him, sometime in the future.

Stevenson vs Penn for the title!!

Although I doubt this would be for number one contendership I think that Stevenson should get a title fight after winning this fight.

assuming Stevenson wins and Sherk’s appeal is unsuccessful, i think you GOTTA have Stevenson vs. Penn for the title. People could make the argument for Florian or Fisher, but both already blew recent title shots (had Fisher beat Franca, he supposedly would have gotten a title shot). you could also make the case for Huerta, but all he fights is UFC newbies (3 in a row) and hasn’t earned it yet by being tested.

Pellegrino’s a tough fighter, but i rank him #14 in the UFC LWs. you could make a case for a higher ranking, but not higher than #10.

Kurt Pellegrino who ? Seriously check my Joe Lauzon blog and you will see the top fighters which I ranked at 155. Pellegrino has a win over Nate Mohr and who else ? EXACTLY. Come one now kid, its not like you see Joe Lauzon tooting his own horn, and he is a better fighter than you Kurt. I mean you must be smokin some real garbage out in New Jersey. Whats in that weed ?

I really dont see stevenson beating BJ Penn, and theres a lot more decorated LW in the world, Dana needs to get to work n fill up the LW division like he did with the heavyweight. The UFC division is improving with rising stars like edgar,tavares,guida,griffin, huerta. Florian is a studd. I doubt Sherk will win his appeal so he’s out.

Still the UFC is missing key peices in “the big picture”
Gomi, Diaz, Kawajiri, Ishida, “Mach”, Joakin Hanssens, Yves edward, luiz azeredo.

Dana, Props for signing “Maximus” Aerelio, next dana should actually work on televising his fight.

Dana u got a lot of work to do and dont forget the middleweight division is in desperate need of a makeover

And the only reason why Pellegrino is fighting Joe is because the UFC figured Joe will definitly win and line him up for the title shot. He has already beaten a nice list of guys (stevenson). This is a warm up and Kurt is a stepping stone. Besides, all of the other 155lbers. were already scheduled to other fights.

Joe is going to roll over this guy in the first round.

These are the top ten lightweights in the world according to mma weekly.
#1 Lightweight Fighter in the World: Takanori Gomi

2. Hayato Sakurai

3. Gilbert Melendez

4. Tatsuya Kawajiri

5. Shinya Aoki

6. Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro

7. Joachim Hansen

8. Mitsuhiro Ishida

9. Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto

10. Joe Stevenson

DANA, the LW division is unexceptable, especially considering the fact that its the division that usually produces the most exciting fighters.

I cant buy into new guys like edgar,tavares,guida,griffin, huerta or even stevenson, when the whole top 10 in the world is basically missing from the division.

Penn,sherk and maybe florian are the only UFC established LW in the World. As much as we love the UFC, Fighters arent top fighters just cause DANA white says so, we cant not recognize great fighters like the whole top 9 because they arent in the UFC

Dana, Get off your ass and sign some

BJ Penn is noticeably absent from that list and I’m not sold on all those guys, but they should definitely be working to get most of those fighters.

Dana supposedly signed Hayato Sakurai. He was supposed to fight Diego Sanchez, then he got scratched for John Fitch. A couple PPV’s ago, they showed Hayato’s big head in the front row and put his name on the screen. Now if they’d only put him in the octagon…

You guys obviously haven’t watched Kurt Pellegrino fight. In my opinion he is the best pound for pound in the world hands down. He will roll through Stevenson and then destroy BJ for title. Then he will probably take whoever has the 170 belt and Anderson Silva and hold all 3 belts at once.

IM glad to see Kurt reads and contributes comments to this site!! haha

you must be joking right? if you truly are a “Peelgrino” Fanatic, you will learn how to spell his name right.

secondly, how can anyone call Yves Edwards a missing piece of the LW “big picture”? the guy’s lost 4 of his last 5 fights. what was once a promising career has since long faded away.

Frank Edgar, Roger Huerta, BJ Penn, Tyson Griffin, I mean just to rattle off a few. I can’t believe he said “who else is in this weight class?” LOL

Dude Stevenson needs much more legit fights with Legit contedars, the guy earned it he should be moving his way up the latter, has definently proved it over Huerta. I feel bad for Stevenson, he should be way up there fighting top contendars, not fighting Pellingrino. But it all don’t matter anyway, BJ is gonna kill ‘em all.

hey kelly quit hatin on jersey

I agree, Stevenson versus BJ Penn. Personally I think Florian is equally deserving. I hope he gets next up.

Pellegrino hasn’t beaten anyone yet. Stevenson better be careful and not look past him. A loss puts Florian in the title bout.

This has to be some sort of contrived list that only considers fighters at 160 lbs instead of 155 lbs. Gomi is the real deal and probably #1 overall. Then nobody else besides Stevenson? What about Sherk? I know he’s suspended but he won the title without testing positive at the time. That doesn’t at least put him on the list?

Stevenson fought in KOTC and GC (whatever GC is) before UFC and perhaps he competed at 160 there.

I’d fight Kurt Pellegrino and whip him simply for a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich just for sh1ts and giggles. Following this encounter, I’d take him to a hair dresser in the city and have them hook up his pink highlights just to show him I was a good sport about it.

I am convinced that this is Kurt Pellegrino himself. Best Pound for Pound int he world today ? Come on Kurt you gotta stop letting the ho bags in POINT PLEASANT feeing you this crap, they only want you to buy them drinks.

Peice of shit…. I just read Kurt Pellegrino’s interview on the UFC’s website, and I would like to say that half of that is Bullshit!!!!!!!! Not to sound like an ass, but he’s nothing but a liar when it comes to his family. First of all I would like to start off by saying that his Mom and Dad has supported him all the way. They just found it hard to see their son get punched, kicked and knocked around, any parent would. They wanted him to complete college so if the fighting thing didn’t work out that he would have something to fall back on, my god is that so bad? He threw his family under the bus. Also his parents went to more then one of his fights which took place in Atlantic City, so when he says they weren’t there he’s again lying…… Also when he talks about how his parents didn’t talk to him for two years???? I’d like to know when that happened!!! He was living with his parents back in ‘ 04 when he and Melissa broke up and he started seeing Laura D’ Aguste in which he dated for a few months, then he and Melissa got back together and than moved to Fla. It was his family that was there for him during those hard times. And as for the part were he says his parents didn’t talk to him for two years, WRONG!!!! it was him and it was maybe for a month or two because he wanted $12,000 for a wedding gift so he could put it as a down payment on a house and his parents refused, which pissed him off to the point where he stopped talking to them. His parents are’nt allowed to be mad at Kurt not sweet little Kurt, because he will make you pay the price which is he won’t talk to you. As for his Brother, which he also threw under the bus, hummmmmm, well he’s again lying. He is telling the truth about them not talking, but it hasn’t been for three years, it’s been and off and off thing. I know for a fact that he and Melissa celebrated Christmas with Anthony and his family back in ‘ 04. When these two try and talk on the phone or something, they both want apologies from one another for how they’ve treated each other while growing up. They’re are both innocent lol…..That’s not going to happen… As for the Wedding issue and the Christening, Anthony and his family wasn’t invited to either one. Well, that’s not true, for the wedding after his mom begged a pleaded for him to invite his brother to the wedding, yes he was invited 29 days before, I’mmmmmm who the hell would want to go to a wedding when the invite comes 29 days before, and who would want to go knowing that your not wanted there… Also as for the Christening, his brother again was not invited nor did he ever hear about the event, so how could he and his family have gone to either one???? Kurt should be ashamed of himself for not giving you the whole story. It’s Hurtful, disrespectful and humiliating. I’m not writing this to you to post anywhere or to get out, I just want you to know the truth and to let you know that his family is not a piece of shit.. As for Melissa, what kind of wife is she to stand by and let Kurt treat his family this way????? Kurt isn’t all that he cracks up to be, he is not innocent. I hope you get your fking ass kicked!!!! can’t wait to see the blood shed.
