My Take

Kurt Pellegrino is the kind of fighter I instinctively pull for. A Jersey shore kid out of Point Pleasant who climbed all the way to the UFC and Bellator's lightweight ranks, and held a WEC title along the way, earned every bit of it the hard way. Lightweight is one of the deepest, most brutal divisions in the sport, so leaving a mark there is no small thing. I imagine a grinding, relentless grappler who hunted the submission and never gave you a quiet round. There's something honest about a self-made fighter like that, and honesty in the cage always gets my respect.
