Fight Analysis: This has the potential to be fight of the night, IMO. Lauzon is a tough fighter and Sotiropolous is tireless and very well-rounded. I think it will take a bit for Soti to find the holes in Lauzon’s game, but when he does it will be easy for him to begin picking Joe apart. He will be the more active of the two fighters and will squeak out a decision.

Fight Analysis: This is going to be a much better fight than most people are understanding. Pelligrino (‘Batman’) has a ton of experience, heart, and power. He will definitely look to ‘take it to’ Sotiropoulos. George has a great stand up game and quality BJJ. George wins this game on the ground, so Kurt will definitely keep it standing. However, Sotiropoulus also has the better (more crisp) standup. This fight will go all the way to the end because Sotiropoulos cannot knock out Pelligrino (IMO) and I doubt he will tag George like he probably hopes.
