Nice fight, but needs a solid co-headliner to make a PPV dent.

Rampage is supposedly returning here. He'll be co-main if so.

If Rampage returns on that night, I think it should be against Dan Henderson or Shogun. Either one would be an epic co-main.

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Decision  

This is a tough one. Both guys have beaten the same top notch talent. And funnily enough both guys have also lost to Clay Guida. Dos Anjos has the ability to limit Pettis's explosive nature I think. He can use his distance effectively and has a defensive ground game for the submissions. I just think it's going to come down to who can satisfy the judges here. This one is probably going to decision.

IMO Gil was a much bigger threat to Pettis than RDA is. I'd love to be proven wrong though. I like RDA.

Gil one the first round against Pettis by threat of a TD so if RDA goes by the same plan, he can win.

Both of these guys lost to Guida.  That's hard to believe.

@rappinpapsoda Conversely, both guys KO'd Benson Henderson.

Edit: Whoops.  My mistake.  I thought that ninja kick that Pettis did delivered a KO.  My bad.

In hindsight Pettis losing to Guida is probably one of the biggest *** moments in MMA in recent years.

Pettis didn't look good against Stephens either though he won that fight. Weird how he started off his UFC run like that and since then it's all been fast finishes of top 10 level fighters.

He came in with a ****load of pressure to be amazing at such a young age ... most likely primo contributor to his jittery start

I think RDA is being slept on a little bit by the way in that he's going to make the fight competitive, but Pettis should take this one.

I think RDA has a solid chance to win. If it goes to decision I see Pettis taking it by being more pleasing to the judges. Should be a solid fight though.


Is Guida the best LW in the world? lol.
