Steven Thompson and Anthony Pettis go head-to-head at UFC Fight Night 148 – how can you watch the action live on TV?
UFC Fight Night 148 is ready to get underway with Steven ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson squaring up to Anthony ‘Wonderboy’ Pettis in the Octagon this week.
Pettis has called out one of the top talents in the weight class above him, and will be hoping he can successfully transition to the welterweight level.
The 32-year-old was defeated by Tony Ferguson in an epic brawl at UFC 229 which has gone down among the greatest matches in the sport’s history.
Pettis’ step up in weight proves his commitment to putting on an exciting spectacle, a real exhibition, for UFC fans everywhere.
Thompson is coming off the back of a defeat to Darren Till at UFC Fight Night in Liverpool last year.
He will be determined to get back to winning ways following a serious knee injury.
