This is Anthony Pettis‘ chance to really get his reign on a roll.
After his early UFC days were afflicted by injury and unforeseen circumstances, Pettis has been sublime during the last 18 months or so. If he can jet past Rafael dos Anjos on Saturday at UFC 185, it could go a long way toward establishing him as the breakout superstar nearly everyone believes he can be.
UFC 185 on the whole feels like a potential statement event. With a compelling main card and prelims temporarily moved off Fox Sports 1 and onto FX, this could be the organization’s chance to begin putting the difficult first few months of 2015 behind it.
There is a lot to like about this fight card, but how exactly will it play out?
Glad you asked. Here, Bleacher Report lead MMA writers Chad Dundas (that’s me) and Jonathan Snowden polish up their time machines and make bold predictions about how the weekend will go down.
