Bigger 'legend', Pearson or Pickett?

[Unfinished Sentenc]

Now that Ross Pearson is a retired legend, who do you think is the bigger English legend between the two?

 

[DarkneT]

Never really get excited for a Ross fight
But there was something special about Brad back in the day
His fight with Barao was a classic

 

[Buff]

Pickett had amazing fights in Cage Rage and WEC... Submitted a fool with a Pervian Necktie and KO'd a bunch more. He best Mighty Mouse ffs.

Pearson is a UFC journeyman - I like Pearson, but he won't be remembered nearly as well as Pickett.

 

[Aranha21]

Pickett was a lot better than Pearson

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I think Ross is slightly bigger, a good 10lb at least.

Brad "One Punch" Pickett, one of the most inappropriate nicknames ever. 1 KO in 14 UFC fights. 7 KOs in 39 fights. One Punch indeed.

My vote goes to Ross although props to Pickett for beating MM.

 

[Maaj19]

Pickett for sure. If Woods becomes champ (I think he can) Pickett's legacy only increases

 

[Sonny Qc]

Ross landed her

So, he's the biggest legend in my book

Agree, otherwise neither has a legendary resume IMO

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Pickett, I think his wins were better and he was more exciting, not that Ross wasn't.

 

[Khabib Fan]

Weird how the term legend has changed meanings.

 

[Bamboozled]

neither because they arent fucking legends, theyre mediocre fighters

mediocre fighter usually don't reach the UFC level....

 

[AleYeah]

Could we define "legend", please?

 

[Headkicktoleg]

I'm sure they mean mediocre for UFC, which is completely true

Preshow is filled with mediocrity. Almost anyone can make it to the UFC with proper coaching.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Neither guy was a legend. I liked Ross better, but Pickett was probably the more talented fighter. I'm still irrationally salty against Pickett because Seary got robbed in their fight imo.

[Sonny Qc]

he's one of the reason I put "usually" in my sentence....

That's not why he's named one punch though.
