We are now just one day away from UFC Fight Night 81, as the event is set to go down tomorrow night (January 17, 2016) from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony “Showtime” Pettis will finally make his return to the Octagon after losing his belt in brutal fashion to Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 185 last March.
