Prediction: correct Pettis   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

This is it...

Mighty Mouse vs Dodson ? Maybe the fastest fight in UFC history. Lamas vs Koch ? Great title contender fight. Glover vs Page ? Page's last showing awesome fight, but this right here this is it !!!

It doesn't get any better, I really like both guys and for good reason they can't seem to have a boring fight. Both have some of the best stand up in the maybe best division in the UFC.

I mean just look at the open work out video of Pettis (at 1:30) especially.




This guy is just freaking awesome, Cowboy is cool too.

Can't wait for this, it's gonna be good. It has to be good.

War Showtime !!! War Cowboy !!! War MMA !!!

Prediction: wrong Cerrone   wrong Decision  

I'm just a little unsure about how good Pettis really is. I don't think Cerrone will be UFC champion, but he's a great fighter and competent in all areas. Maybe Pettis breaks through here and shows he's ready for the next level, but I'm just hesitant. And I don't think we learned too much from his quick picking apart of Joe Lauzon. This is a great fight.

Changed my pick a few minutes ago. Hope it doesnt bite me in the ass. Cerrone is the more technical striker, but Pettis is a tricky son of a *****. This is by far the hardest on the card to pick besides the Grant vs Winman fight

Prediction: correct Pettis   wrong Decision  

Some of these fights are a virtual tossup.  Might as well flip a coin.  When guys are pretty evenly matched, it could go either way.  Like who makes the fewest mistakes.

Some of these fights could well prove very little.  With this fight, they might fight 10 times, and split the wins down the middle.  So hard to call some of these.  I'm picking and crossing my fingers and hoping I guess right.

Prediction: wrong Cerrone   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

U guys are making some good points.

Even though pettis has good striking with a BB in taekwando, a un-orthodox style and BJJ purple belt

Cerrone has a Muay Thai record of 28 wins and 0 loses 1 draw so I believe hes got the technical edge.
hes got decent BJJ, and he fights out of Jackson´sMMA.

I believe this fight will be a striking fight and maybe some grappling scrambles, but as long as cerrone can keep it cool and fight technical I think he will win.
If however, pettis can pressure cerrone and be un-predictable with hes striking I think he can score a knock-out.
I agree with all of you, this will be a great fight whoever wins, but my bet goes to the cowboy KO/TKO ROUND 1

Ugh... I love Cowboy... props to Pettis. That was a be... AUTIFUL kick. That would have finished anyone in the division. Back to the drawing board for Cowboy... Pettis deserves his shot.

Idk how about Cerrone vs Varner 3, or maybe Cerrone/Edson Barboza

It actually doesn't matter his fights are always exciting, I'd watch Cerrone vs anyone...

I believe this was the first time Cerrone was stopped from strikes, impressive.

@Benjamin- Sure was. He was never stopped in in Muay thai either.

I bet Cerrone would fight Nate Diaz 10 times before he'd fight Pettis again even once.
