Three days from now marks yet another UFC event, this time on PPV and this time for the Lightweight championship. It'll be decided in a rematch from WEC 53 in 2010, which ended in a razor-close decision win for Pettis, as he became the final WEC Lightweight champion. Obviously everyone remembers the huge off-the-cage kick that Pettis landed in round 5 that probably won him the fight, but the entire fight was very fun to watch and it's a rematch I've been looking forward to for a long time.
Also another HUGE fight I'm looking VERY forward to is a heavyweight fight a LOT of people have been wanting for YEARS, as Josh Barnett returns to the UFC after 10+ years to take on BJJ expert Frank Mir. Josh NEEDS to look good here and show everyone why he's been ranked in the top 10 for a long time and Frank needs to bounce back after 2 straight losses to Junior dos Santos and Daniel Cormier.
