Flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson and challenger John Dodson have rightfully hoarded the headlines this week due to their main event status. In addition, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s final UFC fight has received quite a bit of hoopla.
However, the scrap most MMA enthusiasts are anxious to see Saturday is the lightweight shootout between Anthony Pettis (Pictured) and Donald Cerrone. The 155-pounders are nearly dead even heading into the scrap, so you might as well flip a coin if you want to bet on their bout.
Pettis checks in as a slight -120 odds-on favorite, while “Cowboy” comes in just behind at -110.
“UFC on FOX: Johnson vs. Dodson” takes place tonight inside United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
