Before you get out the pitchforks on this one, hear me out. Pettis suffered a bad TKO loss in his Interim-Featherweight title fight to Max Holloway and had a ho-hum showing against Jim Miller in his return to Lightweight.

However, given the fact that we’re now in the era of…ahem…’Money Fights’, it seldom gets much better and more marketable than McGregor vs Pettis. Both combatants are exciting KO artists and always go for the kill.
