Pettis is clearly the better fighter. Got him by KO. But you never know with him. Might come out with a bum knee and stand stationary again. Then get laid on against the cage.

I like where your heads at with Shogun/Machida I. A lot of people complain about the decision but regardless the fight was a masterpiece. I'm pumped for Pettis/Barboza too. Wish it were 5 rounds.

Greg Jackson is no where to be found for this fight. I think we are safe from that tragedy.

From a pure match making perspective, yeah it's a very appealing match up. Two very flashy stand up specialists who have pulled off some jaw dropping techniques in live fights. But it could also just be them respecting each other too much and circling for 80% of the fight. Which i very much hope does not turn out to be the case. As the fans would be robbed of the potential of spectacular fireworks.

Watch as Barboza tries to grapplefuck Pettis lol
Seems to me Barboza has much more power in his kicks but also a weak chin. If Pettis starts to lands his body/head kicks Barboza is going down.

You should look at my profile. I've made about 10 threads on this fight alone dating back to 2011.
