Pellegrino's training with Hermes will give him the edge in this fight.
Pellegrino wins via RNC R2.

you're right he is, and is really good with standup and takedowns. One thing he has that most bjj black belt don't have though is a good "mma guard" (ala big nog). not saying he is on the same level as big nog, but he has an effective guard while someone is raining punches down. Kurt is the sponsor and regularly trains at the bjj school i go to, he is psyched about this fight and the chance it gives him, i think that it will end just like you predict, Ficket isn't exactaly the best when it comes to takedown defense, and Koscheck was able to blanket him for nearly 3 rounds.
WAR KURT!
