Batman should win since he is fighting for his UFC life You read that article that he is funtionally illiterate? The one deciding factor in this fight is pace. Pellegrino likes to push the pace in his fights and is aggressive and always pushing forward. This will impress the judges should the fight go to a decision. If you look at Tavares record he was rolling through guys early on in his career with a 10 and 0 record with 9 submissions before he got to the UFC. However, since he has fought in the UFC he has gone 3 and 2 but 3 of those fights have come by decision. Either he has lost his ability to dictate fights or when Tavares fights better competition he is not as dominate as his record dictates. http://www.fighting-mma.com/mma-matchups/2008/ufc-88-mma-betting-thiago-tavares-kurt-pellegrino.php
Tavares is inconsistent and his gas tank and chin are both suspect. For him to be a favourite in this fight is a stretch. Seemingly safe to put money down on Batman, here.
I got a gut feeling about pelligrino, but he always snatched defeat from possible victory and I can see it happening again here.
