I dont think Pettis is overrated. He just gets talked about a lot because he is flashy and entertaining.

I think Pettis gets the win, I don't think he can finish Stephens but will get the decision

Can't believe they dumped Pettis to the undercard after he was one win away from a title shot. He should handle JS.

Prediction: correct Pettis   correct Decision  

I think Pettis will fight intelligently in this one, coming off of a loss.  I believe he sees the writing on the wall that the UFC will quickly cut him if he doesn't get back to his winning ways, and will do whatever it takes to win this fight.  Nevertheless, it's not his style to fight conservatively, so I think he will be dynamic, aggressive, yet calculated in his approach.  He'll win a unanimous decision victory over the more aggressive and wild Jeremy Stephens, who will continuously leave himself open for exciting counter strikes from Pettis.

Stephens is tough and I think gets overlooked as an underrated brawler. Pettis should be able to deal with his striking with his speed advantage and accurate counters.

Stephens will KO/TKO Pettis or win by a decision

I can tell you guys that I am pretty dam confident in this pick and have no idea what the hype about Pettis is all about ..

Stephens arguably beated Melvin Guillard .. but got robbed to a split decision .. which I thought he won the fight .. I am pretty dam sure his gonna destroy this Pettis kid

I think Pettis wins via TKO/KO in the 2nd!!  I think he will be too quick for Stephens!!  This should be a fight of the night candidate for sure!!  I was wondering why it was on the spike tv/Rogers sportsnet part of the card instead of the main card but this fight should attract some fans who aren't really hardcore over to actually watching MMA!!

Prediction: wrong Stephens   wrong Decision  

I like Stephens in this one, his aggresive style should keep Pettis on his back foot. 

Pettis doesn't really throw combination's and will have trouble getting his timing down from Stephens pressuring him. 

As i think this will go to a DEC and the majority of the fight will stay standing, Stephen's should win having thrown more strikes and pushing forward most of the time.

As much as it hurts me to say this, I think Pettis will probably win the first two rounds.  However, :) I think Stephens will rally back and hand Pettis his first tko loss.  They're both incredibly talented, young fighters, but I think Stephens will bring more fight heart into this fight and put on an emotional performance.  Also I predict fight of the night.

Although I think Pettis is a tad overrated, I think he will defeat Stephens.  Pettis is very fast and light on his feet, if he can pick Bendo apart for 5 rounds, I think he can take Stephens.  Pettis via Decision

I think Pettis is going to grind out Stephens in this one, but Stephens is one of my fantasy picks so I'm hoping he can catch Pettis with a flash KO.

Stephens will take a beating in this fight and pettis will go for something showy and pay the price. I think stephens takes the upset with a knockout.
