Pellegrino is the better striker will be able to hold his own against the Brazilian. Tavares has only one win by TKO as he most of his wins have been by submission. Though neither fighter is a stand up specialist Pellegrino is much better striker than Tavares. Once again he is more aggressive in the stand and he will use his kicks and punches to throw off Tavare's game plan. http://www.fighting-mma.com/mma-matchups/2008/ufc-88-mma-betting-thiago-tavares-kurt-pellegrino.php
