UFC 116 will see George Sotiropoulos and Kurt Pellegrino square off against each other. Both of these fighters have been great in the ring as of late and this matchup should be a good one.

George Sotiropoulos career record includes 12 wins out of his 14 total fights making him pretty successful though out his career. George’s star potential is on the rise as he has really been able to dominate his opponents in recent fights.

With the exception of his most recent win by decision he had not allowed a fight to go to decision in a long time. You never know what will happen if you let your opponent stick around until the end so look to him to continue fighting this way.

Kurt Pellegrino is not as much of a big name fighter as his opponent is but he has really been great on the mat as of late and has a unique opportunity in this fight to improve his stock. Kurt has the ability to set up his play and if he is able to dictate the pace of the match than he will definitely have a shot of upsetting his opponent.

An upset for Pellegrino would be huge as Sotiropoulos is considered to be a title contender. Pellegrino has the opportunity to kick Sotiropoulos out of contention with a victory here and if his victory is impressive even he could even find himself in talks surrounding an outside shot at the title.
