Entered the bout as 'Rumored" for now, but if it's true, this is card of the year on paper.

This is the definition of an equal match up. I have no clue who to pick for this bout.

I think it'll be a great fight. If Cerrone fights intelligently, he can win, but he too often gets emotional and his striking defense could be a lot better. Pettis, on the other hand, has never looked bad in a striking battle, rarely takes damage, and has only had trouble with suffocating wrestlers. I see Pettis winning this all day.

@Skelliher has the same exact view as I do on Pettis/Cerrone. Pettis will beat any non wrestler.
Hopefully injuries dont find their way on to this card because it already has the potential to be one of the best ever

This has to be too good to be true... all four of these bouts are main event worthy.
