This should be a sick fight and could end up being a real war. Snakebite was saying there aren't enough striker vs. striker match ups, well here is one seriously heavy handed one. Looking forward ot this.

The only thing I don't like about this is that I was hoping the fight was Pierce was going to force Thiago to work on his wrestling. Doomsday likes to stand and bang and has some real heavy hands, so I don't think Thiago will really feel the pressure to work on his wrestling for this fight. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
