Pound for pound, there are fewer cards in 2014 that look better than UFC 181.
Headlining the evening will be the first title defense of two new exciting champions in Johny Hendricks and Anthony Pettis.
Hendricks will look to further legitimize the gold around his waist by handling Robbie Lawler in a rematch of their instant-classic scrap in UFC 171. Pettis—on the other hand—will see an entirely new challenge in Gilbert Melendez.
But before the high-stakes headliners do battle, fans will be treated to a heavyweight doubleheader featuring Travis Browne vs. Brendan Schaub and Todd Duffee vs. Anthony Hamilton.
With a few potential slugfests lined up and two titles on the line, this isn’t the card to miss. Here’s a look at the results and live analysis as fight night transpires.
