Who else thinks Crane will take this one? In his fight against Huerta, I think Crane showed some great skill. Pellegrino is somewhat local to me (nationally speaking), I would like to see him win, but I honestly think he wont.
What is everyone else's thoughts on this fight and why?

pellegrino will win, he is a great wrestler that can control crane's jiu jitsu, imo pellegrino would beat huerta so i think crane will have a tough time. but i do agree with you that crane has some skills, his bjj is second to bj penn and if he improves his standup and wrestling he could be a future star.

From what I have heard, Crane has worked on his wrestling quite a bit, after feeling that the lack of his skill is what gave huerta the win. I disagree with that statement, but if indeed he has worked on his wrestling, this could be a great night for Kurt. I wouldn't think Crane is bold enough to stand up with Kurt, Kurt has some awesome stand up power (hopefully not due to the same reason Franca had his strength).

I think Pellegrino will take this fight, but yes I think Crane will give him some problems. Good matchup.

It'll be an exciting win for Pellegrino. It'll be much like Stevenson/Pellegrino but with a different result, because Crane isn't anywhere near Stevenson's level, and Pellegrino was giving Stevenson fits on both the feet and the ground.

I was just gonna say watch Pellegrino/Stevenson and you will see why Pellegrino will win. Before that fight, I can honestly say I underrated Pellegrino and saw him as B-level fighter who wont challenge or push most guys, but I was way wrong.
He has great wrestling, great strategy, and tons of heart. He can and will be Crane I think.
