Stephen Thompson vs. Anthony Pettis is the fight you didn't know you wanted to watch until you knew it was a possibility. If a high-flying, technically sound, potentially innovative stand-up battle between two of the best strikers UFC has ever seen sounds like your cup of tea then you're in for an absolute treat.

Pettis is well-known for being the creator of the now legendary Showtime Kick and Thompson has a seemingly endless arsenal of kicking attacks in his locker. Pettis also has some wickedly creative jiu-jitsu and could wrap Thompson up in a submission very quickly, but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.

While neither man will likely be catapulted into the title picture after a win, it does promise to be an incredibly fun and exciting fight.
