i had a feeling pearson had it and i don't even think he was at his best due to threat of a takedown.
I thought he would have shot for takedowns more too. Sure his wrestling isn't great but he got Pearson down once, why not try again? Worst thing that could happen is lots of cage work which would tire Pearson and make his striking less effective
If you saw his fight against Siver you would know that George's takedowns suck.
I didn't bet on GSot even though I'm a big fan of his. Ross has some real deal striking and Gsot has shown to have less than average defense (Dos Anjos, Siver). Not trying to use MMath but Siver wrecked you and Siver got wrecked by Pearson. C'mon Gsot us the jitz.
I wonder how things would've gone if he had longer on the ground in the first round. Oh well, he should've pursued the takedown harder. He seemed to forget about it in the 2nd.
He tried to take Pearson down the instant he slipped off a kick in the 2nd.
Pearson just did a really good job of controlling the distance, giving George precious few opportunities to actually get in range for takedowns.
