Prediction: Chiesa  |  Submission  |  Round 2

Brooklyn's getting a Lightweight showcase. Awesome card. Pettis was my boy, once upon a time, but he's been slipping and Chiesa may be a bad match-up for him.

I see a lot of comments about how people think Chiesa is gonna beat Pettis convincingly, and like, I get it. But I see this fight on-paper and really feel like Pettis will beat the hell out of Chiesa.

If Chiesa can bully him then Pettis loses and badly.

Prediction: Pettis  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 3

Over the duration of the three rounds, Pettis' strikes will wear down and eventually stop Chiesa

pettis gets taken down by all of his opponents at some point and doesn't show much of that immediate impact striking anymore. idk if chiesa finds the rnc, but i think that any solid td he gets changes the fight.

I hope this fight still happens. 

If it doesn't, Chiesa will probably make more money suing McGregor than he would have beating Pettis anyway.

He didn't need stitches so he should be fine to fight.

Three downvotes? A bit harsh. Still picking Chiesa to win, although if the fight is stopped due to an opening of a cut he sustained in the fracas then I'm going to be very ******* dirty about it. Props to mike for not pulling out.

****!

Man, I was hyped for Chiesa vs Pettis too. Borg being out sucks, but I could have lived with it so long as everything else was going ahead but now this stellar card has been tainted. It's still really good, but yeah.....FFS.

I hope everyone still gets their show money. This was totally out of their control. And I hope Mcgregor has to pay it all.

Update: Apparently Borg got glass in his eye from the shattering windshield. Hope it's nothing serious.
