This weekend, the Octagon returns to Bridgestone Arena, home of the NHL’s Nashville Predators, for a 13-fight card capped by a compelling welterweight showdown between MMA ninjas Stephen Thompson and Anthony Pettis.
While the main event is sure to get the fans in “Smashville” on their feet as “Wonderboy” and “Showtime” trade kicks in the center of the cage and look to end the fight in spectacular fashion, the true strength of Saturday’s event is the depth of talent dispersed throughout the lineup and the wealth of compelling emerging names set to compete on the March 23 event.
