Anthony Pettis evidently still has a few highlights to throw on the reel.
“Showtime” tested the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s waters at 170 pounds and knocked out Stephen Thompson in the second round of their UFC Fight Night 148 main event on Saturday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The lights went out on Thompson 4:55 into Round 2, as the Music City crowd looked on in awe and wonder.
Pettis’ decision to move to the welterweight division was met with widespread consternation, and for the better part of two rounds, it seemed warranted.
