UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and No. 1 contender Rafael dos Anjos are scheduled to take the center of the Octagon Saturday inside of the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The stakes are about as high as it gets in this one, with the winner walking away the undisputed champion of the 155-pound division.
Pettis—who defended his crown for the first time against Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181 in December—steps into the cage on a five-fight winning streak. His opponent—who last saw action in a one-sided beatdown of Nate Diaz at UFC on Fox 13 just a week later—enters the cage having won eight of his last nine bouts.
It may not hold the sort of popular appeal that Vitor Belfort vs. Chris Weidman or Jon Jones vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson may have, but UFC 185‘s main event is sure to entertain.
