THE STATISTICS
THE LOWDOWN
Anthony ‘Showtime’ Pettis moves back down to lightweight but no glamour match-up this time. Instead, an incredibly tough fight against Carlos Diego Ferreira.
Pettis has had a topsy-turvy time in the UFC. The former lightweight champion has not had one easy fight and duked it out in the featherweight and welterweight division. After submitting Chiesa and losing a bloody war against Tony Ferguson, he moved up to welterweight to take on one of the best technical strikers in the sport – Stephen Thompson. Pettis proceeded to live up to his nickname with an electrifying ‘superman punch’ to hand Thompson his first ever knockout loss. However, he was brought back down to earth with a dominant decision loss to Nate Diaz.
Ferreira has flown completely under the radar in the stacked division. He is on a five-fight winning streak but although there are no Hollywood names on the streak, they were all tough opponents. He earned a decision over Olivier Aubin-Mercier and then two years later knocked out Jared Gordon and Kyle Nelson. He is coming off two more unanimous decisions against beast grappler Rustam Khabilov and monster striker Mairbek Taisumov breaking their impressive winning streaks.
THE PREDICTION
This fight will depend on what Pettis turns up. He has the skills to beat most lightweights on his day but if he does not treat Ferreira the same way as his previous elite opponents, he will be in for a shock.
Like Pettis, Ferreira is a phenomenal Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner and also dangerous on the feet. So, although there is little to gain for Pettis, he has to be motivated for this one. On the biggest stage, on a Conor McGregor card and the biggest name Ferreira has faced, motivation for him will be in abundance.
Winner: Ferreira via Decision

Pettis Vs Ferreira Predictions Real Madrid
In this lightweight (155lb) bout, we have Carlos Diego Ferreira vs. Beneil Dariush. Ferreira is fighting out of Amazonas, Brazil. He is entering this bout as a -125 favorite. He is currently on a six-fight win streak. He has notable wins against Anthony Pettis, Mairbek Taisumov and Olivier Aubin-Mercer. He has a professional MMA record of 17-2-0 and has 3 wins by KO/TKO (18%), 7 submissions (41%), and 4 decisions (71%).
Dariush is fighting out of Yorna Lina, California. He is entering this fight as a +105 underdog. Dariush is currently on a five fight winning streak. He has notable wins against Scott Holtzman, Drakkar Klose, Frank Camcho and Drew Dober. He has a professional MMA record of 19-4-0 and has 5 wins via KO/TKO (26%), 8 submissions (42%), and 6 decisions (32%).
This bout has fight of the night written all over it. I can assure you that this fight won't disappoint. In Dariush’s last bout, he had a spectacular knockout against Holtzman. In 2020, Dariush finished both of his fights via KO. To say the least, Dariush had an impressive year. On the other hand, Ferreira is dangerous, but he hasn’t fought the same level of competition as Dariush. I think Vegas has these odds completely wrong. Before the odds were released, I expected Dariush to be a slight favorite, however, he is the underdog. There is too much value in Dariush. For these reasons, my pick is…
