Ross Pearson vs. George Sotiropoulos
Ross Pearson-“I’m feeling that energy to go in and put on a great performance. I think because it is a real fight to me and there’s bad blood between us, it’s only gonna make it a better fight for me. I fight better when I feel like it’s real. This could have happened anywhere, this could have happened off-camera, it could have happened anytime, and it’s real. This is a real fight and that’s when I shine. When I fought (Edson) Barboza in Brazil (in August of 2011), my back was against the wall against the best Brazilian up and comer, and I just went in there and fought. And that’s exactly what I plan to do against George when I go into his backyard.”
We surprised a lot of people. I could say I was surprised a little bit by the way he approached things, and about the way he handled himself on the show. I was surprised of what kind of person he actually was. I never had any contact with George before, I’ve never had any relationship with him or anything, so I was going in there totally blind, just knowing what I’ve seen from him fighting in the UFC. So I was totally respectful. I knew George was a great opponent for me to fight and I gave him all the respect in the world. But the longer we spent with each other, the more I found out what the real George is like. The more we got under each other’s skin, the more we disliked each other, and yeah, sometimes it got a little bit crazy and a little bit heated
