I think people are underestimating Pettis in this one.

I think you are underestimating Holloway. Pettis could win via finish, but personally think Holloway is going to likely dominate. I think Holloway might be one of the best fighters  UFC has ever seen. His striking is extremely good and I believe better then Pettis. I think his hands are much better then pettis, as are his combos.  He also enjoys grappling and excels at it, he also very good ever where on the ground. Pettis is very good finisher, but has not top game. Holloway has very good top game and is equally as skilled off his back. He also has insanely good take down defense.  Will see what happens, but I believe Holloway will end up reigning over this division.

I don't see him overpowering Pettis and does not have the wrestling.

He does not need over power Pettis. He can just out strike him, which is what i believe he going to do.  You act like the only way to beat pettis is to over power him despite the fact we have seen him soundly out struck before. Also Holloway is a much better wrestler then Pettis is, and could out wrestle him, not that he needs to, but lets not get it twisted, holloway wrestling is much better then pettis.

Yes. Pettis has sucked lately but what you guys aren't understand is this is a new weight class for Pettis. Give him a chance. I think he could pull this one off. Holloway is good but he can beaten like everybody else. I don't think it matters though . Also when unify the belts easy.

Pettis missed weight, weighed in at 148.

Love the guy but don't think he is going to do well here.

Looks like the move down is a tad much for Showtime.

I was kinda hoping Pettis would win for an Aldo/Pettis fight but now the belt isn't even an option for him since he missed weight.  Holloway/Aldo should be fun too though.

yes, I was saying. Did not see the fight so cannot judge. All of his other loses were how I said so wouldn't it make sense to go by that. Sorry you are but Thurs when your hatred of me started when I said something negative about Rich Franklin over a year ago.
