UFC Lightweight, Ross Pearson has been saying that he is a better striker than former UFC Lightweight champion, B.J. Penn.
Speaking via Fighters Only Magazine, Pearson said:
“We’re all very good at doing what we like to do. BJ’s ground game and wrestling is unbelievable, but I feel I’m a far better striker than he is. I might never be as good as he is at one thing, but he might never be as good as me at another. I’m not near a BJJ black belt, but a fight is a fight and anything can happen, that’s what makes the sport so exciting.”
Pearson will step back inside the octagon when he faces Cole Miller at UFC Fight Night 22 September 15 in Austin, Texas.
