UFC 84 Preview: Rousimar Palhares vs. Ivan Salaverry

Rousimar Palhares (7-1, 0-0 UFC) vs. Ivan Salaverry (12-6, 3-3 UFC)

The Final preliminary fight a middleweight bout between the UFC veteran Salaverry and the new kid on the block Palhares. Palhares fights with Brazilian Top Team and five of his victories have come by submission. Salaverry is a ground guy too with 4 submissions and several ground and pound victories. But in a recent interview Salaverry said this

"This could be it for me, I honestly can tell you. I had a very nice career. I’ve talked it over with my wife and family, and the priorities are really going into the school, teaching, maybe some promotions, creating a fight team. Things of that nature."

With that kind of mind set it seems he is one foot out the door. Our pick is Palhares by submission.
