    Pettis was getting tooled up in there and apart from the leg kicks had scarcely landed a shot of note all fight.

    The finish came out of absolutely nowhere.

    Wonderboy was a decent enough matchup for him stylistically, but I think he’ll end up getting ragdolled against a strong wrestler or badly KO’d against a heavy striker if he stays at 170.

    Fights against the likes of RDA at 170 wouldn't be terrible for him.

    Fights against Usman, Woodley, those sorts of big, strong, heavy wrestling game 170ers are an absolute nightmere for him.

    Needs to stay away from 170 unless he hand picks a few fights
    I think he'll take on the winner of next week's main (barboza again)

    Either would make a great main though

    What a KO that was my God. Decent pre lims, main card was shocking.

    I love when 2 fighters I like get matched up like Pettis and Wonderboy

    I hate seeing one of them dribbled on the canvas during the fight though, absolutely ko’d

    Pettis to pop in 3, 2, 1...?

    Wonderboy's low hands always a risk but Pettis KOing a much bigger man stiff like that is shocking.

    Jesus what a KO. Two of the top 5 at 170 absolutely starched in the space of 7 days.

    Add Woodley's recent loss into that and it's 3 of the top 5 in a matter of weeks .

    Wonderboy got caught blind, smaller than Pettis has put away bigger than Wonderboy although they did look a weight class apart

    It was a shock ko but he nearly finished Ferguson 5 months ago and he’s a zombie brought to life most of the time

    Wonderboy was taking him apart until that incredible KO....seriously, what a highlight reel KO to compliment the infamous cage walk headkick.

    Can't see Pettis going toe to toe with the real bangers at 170 though.

    edit: Good video from Thompson in the hospital afterwards talking about the loss. Genuine, chilled out guy and a humble one too.

    Love Wonderboy, such a decent guy and can be great to watch but his record over the last while really makes bad reading on paper. 1 win in the last 5.

    Was not expecting that and he was well on top. It’s a long road back to a title shot now. Really was not much to gain and a lot to lose in that fight for him. Plus he’s 36 now as well.

    Pettis seems to be going all out lately but it is hard to see him beating the top wrestlers in the division. McGregor should look at him as a decent option if he wants a striking match that he has a good chance of winning. Winner of Justin v Barboza would be fun as well.

    I think Wonderboy would be one of the few in the division to trouble usman but it's a long road back now for him

    Could have won any of those fights he lost on a different night although last night was a bit of a freak result

    Not sure where he goes from here tbh
