10 Incredible UFC Fights To Watch In January

3. Anthony Pettis Vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira - UFC 246

Although Anthony Pettis may never reach the lofty heights many predicted for him after he won the WEC lightweight championship back at WEC 53, it doesn't mean that he isn't a special type of fighter. While he didn't have a long reign as a UFC champion, he has become an exceptional all-action fighter that is extremely exciting to watch.

If you've been following these previews for awhile, you already know that we're huge fans of these type of fighters and everything they bring to the fight game. Despite his glaring flaws, it's hard to deny that with his non-stop attacking style, whether it's on the feet or the ground, Pettis is one of the most entertaining fighters of his generation.

To truly get the best out of him, he needs an opponent who isn't afraid to fight fire with fire. Luckily for us, Carlos Diego Ferreira is exactly that. It's a great piece of matchmaking as Ferreira has brilliant hands, outstanding jiu-jitsu and is willing to take two shots to land one. If this isn't Fight of The Night, then fight fans will be extremely happy after UFC 246.
