UFC Nashville: Thompson vs. Pettis - Winners and Losers

The last few weeks, the UFC events have been largely disappointing up until the final contests. UFC Nashville was no exception. While some may say the co-main event between Curtis Blaydes and Justin Willis didn’t deliver, it at least provided a dominant performance from Blaydes. However, the main event delivered in spades. Remember the KOoTY candidate from Jorge Masvidal last week? Well, Anthony Pettis’ Superman punch KO of Stephen Thompson at the end of the second round is right up there. The explosive conclusion to the event ensured fans didn’t walk away from the event feeling robbed, though it could be argued it didn’t completely make up for what felt like an underwhelming event prior to that.
