Curious to see how this @WonderboyMMA – @Showtimepettis fight plays out. I think wonderboy wins but it will be interesting #UFC #UFCNashville

This fight is reminding me of #Bloodsport… #UFCNashville

IMO. After being in there with Wonderboy before and being a taekwondo stylist like pettis I think Pettis will have more success if he tries to use his fancy stuff instead of trying to box and bang with Thompson #UFCNashvile #UFC

Pettis’s defence (esp the left hand) is starting to drop, and Wonderboy has the sneaky, sneaky kick to the head he hides so well. #UFCNashville pic.twitter.com/Z4PHBbyimE

1 mistake is all it takes in there

Sometimes Mma makes no sense . Ol young Hercules Tyron Woodley couldn’t KO Thompson in 10 rounds and Mighty Mouse Pettis comes in and get it done . Awesome fight #UFCnashville
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) March 24, 2019
I can’t believe that just happened. I know Pettis is beast in the stand up department, but I felt Wonderboys size and striking would win it. This fight game is crazy. #UFCNashville

I know everyone wants to challenge @TheNotoriousMMA , but I always thought him vs @Showtimepettis would be freaking awesome.
