How does a win over Jeremy Stephens get you a fight with a guy that just dominated the #1 contender in the division?

Prediction: wrong Stephens   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Stephens gets a late knockout. After being outworked for most of the fight he will land that right hand and that will be all.

I think Pettis is gonna pick apart Stephens who will be too slow to catch Pettis.

I don't think Pettis is truly as good as people think he is. Give him a rematch with Bendo, Bendo will destroy him.

Pettis via flying knee. This really is a good oportunity for pettis to get back in the win column. He still shouldn't take stephens lightly at all. WAR SHOWTIME!

I think Stephens is a pretty big step down in competition for Pettis. I think Pettis will out work him on the feet until he rocks him with hard strike. Stephens will go down and scramble for his life, eventually leading to a submission near the end of the round.

Pettis will just be too fast, well rounded, and creative for Stephens. 

Stephens will hang tough, and maybe have a moment of his his own here and there, but in the end Pettis will out work him.

Prediction: correct Pettis   correct Decision  

Pettis is easily one of the most well-conditioned fighters at 155.  I think he will outclass Stephens on the feet and most likely take a decision.  We must not forget how good Pettis is off his back as well.

I don't know how to call this one, both guys are good but i see a strength advantage on one side and a skill advantage on the other, either way it should be a good fight.
