[Arkridge]

I mean... I'm cool with the fight, but Main Event? Nah. I'll pass. Co-Main at best and even that is a bit of a stretch.

I mean Pettis/Formiga on a fight night is a solid main event, is it going to be on tape delay?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Why? After his win over perennial 2nd best FLW he could claim a TS at MM after UFC 227.

 

[beephin]

The fight we’ve all been waiting for.

 

[HoFF]

Whoop de doo

 

[DRAKEADEMIKS]

Alex Oliviera vs Neil Magny would be a way better ME

 

[FleximusPrime]

Im sure he does, dont they all.

 

[Chad W]

what a blockbuster main event

 

[Danespina]

Good title eliminator.

For everyone who missed Formiga's last fight.

 

[BjPenn2017]

Main event of the FP prelims sure

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Main Event????

 

[Hatecopter]

Good on Pettis he could easily just sit around and ask for a title shot after his win over Benavidez.

 

[drbolony]

At least he's calling for something reasonable. War Pettis Bros War Serg

 

[Killashaw]

Give him Formiga. He'll eat him alive.

 

[MM808]

Please god no. Main event my ass

Sergio has main evented before and it turned out fine. At least this way him and Formiga are properly prepared for a 5 round title fight.

Yeah it's not like we have had OSP vs Okami, Swanson vs Lobov, BB vs Abdurakhimov level of FN MEs.
Only top 10s fighting each other

Pettis was offered DJ after beating Moreno, but he was only 23yo and wanted more time.

He's finally feeling confident though. I think this makes sense.

Definitely a main event fight, that one may need 5 rounds, that's a game changer for contenders.
