Do you hear me knocking? Well, let me in! Finally! The
People’s Red Head has come back to The Weigh-In!
UFC Fight Night 148 took place at the Bridgestone Arena Saturday, March
23, 2019, in Nashville Tennessee. It was an interesting card with most bouts
going the distance. The main event was Anthony Pettis versus Stephen
“Wonderboy” Thompson. The co-main event was Curtis Blaydes versus Justin Willis.
Anthony Pettis
defeats Stephen Thompson via second-round knock out
Let us dive right into it people. Pettis knocks out
Wonderboy Thompson in round two, with a superman punch. What a win for Pettis
who was struggling the last couple years with a 3-6 record. Pettis said he
feels good at 170lbs, and this showed in the fight. While he looks forward to
what is next for him, hoping that it is the winner of Edson Barboza vs. Justin
Gaethje, or a rematch with Rafael dos Anjos, we will have more to come, as
information becomes available.
Wonderboy does not have much to look forward to. The fall
for Wonderboy has been as fast as his rise to the upper echelon of the sport.
We are talking about a fighter who took former champion Tyron Woodley the
distance twice. Wonderboy falls to 1-3-1 in his last five fights. Fans may
forget he lost a controversial decision to Darren Till.
It is likely that Wonderboy will have to fight his way back
into contention. We will keep you posted as more information on his next fight
becomes available. It is worthy of note that this is Wonderboy’s first knock
out loss of his career.
Curtis Blaydes
defeats Justin Willis via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 30-25)
Blaydes redeems his loss to Francis Ngannou by dominating
Justin Willis from start to finish. Willis talked a lot of trash leading up to
the fight and it backfired. Blaydes will now move back up in the heavyweight
division.
