It’s not hard to put together an Anthony Pettis highlight reel, as we learn in the latest UFC 185 video preview.
However, while most fight fans can easily recall past theatrics produced by Pettis (18-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC), the UFC lightweight champion’s next opponent, veteran Rafael dos Anjos (23-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC), has a few of his own.
Check out a quick preview of their upcoming title fight, which headlines UFC 185. The pay-per-view event takes place March 14 at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
The title fight, which follows a championship co-headliner between women’s strawweight titleholder Carla Esparza (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Joanna Jedrzejczyk (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), features two of the 155-pound division’s best. Pettis is ranked No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings (and No. 5 pound-for-pound) while dos Anjos is No. 3.

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)
