Pellegrino for the win.

Everyone on here can just stop. Kurt is a bbj blackbelt for a long time now. He could sub Emerson anywhere he pleases. Forget all that, he will outstrike emerson as wll. Kurt has 25 pro fights ( he lost to Fickett, Diaz, Stevenson – thats a tall order) forget what sherdog says I know ( 21-4). He is an elite wrestler as well. Wrestling and a bjj black belt what a bad ass mixture that will be for Emerson who does what well? Who fought and beat who well? He lost to Maynard, he was losing too. He flash KO’ed Manny who lunged at him like a dummy. Emerson is nobody. Kurt has been fighting longer than just his fluke lose to diaz. Kurt FTW. I will predict TKo referee stoppage. I do not think it will even go to the ground. Kurt has much better hands, he is bigger and stronger. Experienced, he fought joe daddy to a split decision with a broken hand a few minutes into the first round. He has never been KO’d and has a chin of granite. He got kicked in the face and basically knocked out by alberto crane and pulled it together and tko’d that Black belt. Where does Emerson come in better? Everyone against kurt just stop. Do your research he is a contender in there.

And PS – Jardine is a beast, not #1 but he is a beast.

Hermes was no.1 contender not too long ago and took Sherk the distance. Learn your mma.

Edgar and Kurt would fight only for something regarding the 155 title. No 1 contender or for the title.

Pellegrino’s gym in Belmar, NJ is sick. Not using that as the only reason on why hes winning this fight but he’s definitely underrated and was beating Nate Diaz that entire fight till he got caught with that submission.

Yeah and take a look at the fighters he was facing at the start of his career Pulver,Guillard,Mishima,Camacho,and Javier Vasquez.He didn’t start out facing scrubs. Now he’s a better fighter for it same thing happens here as the Manny fight Pellegrino is knocked out.

i’m a fan of emerson but i do agree, pellegrino will be too much, even though i heard he’s got an unbelieveable takedown defense, i think pellegrino will win by sub, 2nd rd.

I like Emerson, but I think pellegrino will be too much for him. Both are gonna be hungry. Pellegrino is coming off his loss, and Emerson off that ko of manny which I’m sure will give him some confidence. But I think pellegrinos wrestling is gonna come into play and ultimatly, get him the W.
