Thompson is using his sidekick as a jab to keep Pettis at bay thus far. Pettis smashes a backside leg kick. Thompson finds a home for his jab again. Pettis lands an outside low kick. Thompson splits the guard with a straight right hand. Both fighters have relied heavily on their feet this fight. Thompson doubles up the jab and lands a leg kick.
