Prediction: wrong Rocha   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

This fight I think can go either way both men are skilled on the ground but Rocha has a better record of finishes so I'm thinking a submission win.

Rocha was crazy good aainst Ellenberger so a tough one.. To be honest I thought Pierce beat Koscheck & Hendricks so for me hes a top Welterweight. going with him.

agreed with thiago, Mike Pierce might be a top 5 welterweight...as weird as that sounds.

Mike PIerce should be a top ten WW if not for terrible judging....but I'm really high on Rocha and I think he'll be the first guy to finish Pierce

I got Pierce by Decision on this one, haven't seen enough of Rocha to make a fair judgement though.

Pierce should have everyones mention whentalking about top 5 WWs. Its a shame he isnt. I wont be shocked if Pierce finishes here, but Il go with Decision right now. Rocha is a tough son of a ***** though, he very well could win this fight. It should be a good one.

Prediction: correct Pierce   correct Decision  

Pierce has never been stopped and while Rocha isn't quite as good as the guys that Pierce has last too, he isn't that big of a step down either. Changing my pick, had Rocha pulling the upset before chickening out.... which means he'll win, (just like how I chickened out and picked John Albert to win last time in the end and regretted that move)

No doubt Rocha looked great against Ellenberger, but injuries are keeping me from picking him.

Fellow portlander Pierce has some major skills. Rocha is also supremely skilled. But Pierce is going to beat Rocha to the decision victory.

Pierce is crazy underrated. Almost beat Fitch, Koscheck and Hendricks. I can't bet against him with this one.

Too bad you don't get much for almost beating people.  That said, I agree with your pick.

Am I the only one who thinks Pierce beat Koshcheck and Hendrix, and drew with Fitch? In anycase he took 3 of the top welterweights to a pretty damn close split. Although, you can also argue Rocha did the same to Ellenberger...
