Don’t try and tell Duke Roufus that his team’s latest win was a fluke.
It was undeniably shocking to see Anthony Pettis land a “Superman hook” knockout punch on Stephen Thompson this past Saturday, a strike that ended the UFC Nashville main event with just four seconds remaining in the second round and made Pettis the first man ever to defeat “Wonderboy” by KO.
And while a glance at Pettis’s blood-stained face may have made it look like the bout was going poorly for him, Roufus told MMA Fighting that “Showtime” was fighting exactly according to plan.
