    Decent card not seen much of or can't remember much about Tibau, I'm going to go with Pearson Vs Miller. Looking forward to Oliveria a lot of buzz about his BJJ before and his debut showed that.

    Going to have to say the main event. Very excited for that.

    Miller vs Pearson should be a good one as well.

    Pearson vs Miller. All appear to be good fights though.

    Folks may be sleeping on Escudero-Oliveira.

    They each have thirteen wins and only pro loss between them - and 22 of their combined 26 wins have ended within the scheduled distance by KO or submission.

    I hope Nate beats Palhares into near death and then laugh while standing over him.

    I think Oliveira might make short work of him on the ground, should be a decent fight while it lasts.

    Yeah, it closed off at 5:45 pm - oops. :oops:

    I'm drinking the Pearson-Miller Kool-Aid, though - especially after the build-up piece just now. This one should be hard to top. :good

    That was a nice opening round!

    Pearson was getting handled for a few minutes, and then he nearly decapitated Cole with a jab. Is he a converted southpaw? :huh

    Looked a real powerful jab could be a convert, Coles striking isn't half as good as he thinks. Needs to get this to the ground and fast.

    Holy ****!

    They're not showing it in the replay, but about ten seconds before the flying knee Miller landed a lead right hand that rocked Pearson's world a bit. That's what set up that whole finish.
