Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson vs. Anthony "Showtime" Pettis will headline UFC Fight Night 148 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Pettis is coming up to welterweight to take on one of the sport's most dangerous strikers in an important fight in the careers of both men. Now that Woodley has been dethroned by Kamaru Usman, there is a new path created to the title for Wonderboy. Remember, while he lost a close and controversial decision to Darren Till in his last fight, Wonderboy owns a victory over Jorge Masvidal–who knocked Till senseless in his home country over the weekend. “‘Wonderboy’ it’s just he is one of those guys I need to fight before I’m done,” Pettis told BJPenn.com.
