Breakdown
Josh Thompson vs. Anthony Pettis
In the main event, two-time welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) takes on former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (21-8 MMA, 8-7 UFC), who is moving up to 170 pounds for the first time. This seems like a pretty easy fight to pick. I see this fight as a mismatch. Pettis’ best chance to win is through counter punching opportunities.
