BJPENN.com Fighter Picks: Donald Cerrone vs Al Iaquinta

Kyle Nelson, UFC featherweight: This is a bit of a toss-up. It is hard to say. I am a big Cowboy fan but I am also a big Al Iaquinta fan. If I had to pick, it is going to be a war I know that. I believe Iaquinta will pull off a decision win.

Devin Clark, UFC light heavyweight: That will be a good fight. I think Donald can get it done. He used to be a teammate of mine so I have respect for him.

Diego Ferreira, UFC lightweight: I think Cowboy Cerrone. I am a big fan of Cerrone, I really am excited for that fight. He always puts on a good show.

Ilima Lei-MacFarlane, Bellator flyweight champion: I think Cowboy will win.

Macy Chiasson, UFC bantamweight: That is going to be an awesome fight. I’m really excited about this. I have always been a really big Cowboy fan but Iaquinta is a monster. I think Al Iaquinta will win.

Jon Fitch, Bellator welterweight: Man, probably Cerrone. I haven’t watched too many Iaquinta fights. 

Damien Brown, RIZIN FF lightweight: I think Cowboy Cerrone probably is a little bit more well rounded. But, man, if Al Iaquinta hits you, wow, he has some serious power. I think Cerrone could win by submission over Iaquinta. He is on a tear man, something changes a man when they have a kid. It makes him dangerous. I will pick Cowboy, I am a massive Cowboy fan 

Geoff Neal, UFC welterweight: I love Cowboy but I got Iaquinta winning by decision on this one.

Kay Hansen, Invicta FC strawweight: I got Cowboy. I think TKO. Don’t know what round but should be a good fight
