The Real Winners and Losers from UFC Fight Night 148

The UFC returned to Nashville for UFC Fight Night 148, and the fans in the Bridgestone Arena were treated to an early Knockout of the Year contender in the main event.

Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony "Showtime" Pettis lived up to the moniker once again. He stunned Stephen Thompson, and the crowd, with a buzzer-beating Superman punch knockout in the second round. Where does this put Pettis in the welterweight division? Where does this send Thompson tumbling down the ranks?

In the co-main event, Curtis Blaydes breezed past Justin Willis to re-establish himself as a contender in the heavyweight division.
