Anthony-Pettis-vs-Rafael-dos-Anjos-UFC-185-Promo-Poster

Duffy’s UFC debut isn’t the only reason you should tune in for tonight’s event either, because the promotion has put together an excellent card for their return to Dallas.

Brilliant and dynamic lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will defend his title against Rafael dos Anjos in the main event; an intriguing challenge for Pettis but one he should come through without relinquishing his belt.

There’ll also be an interesting clash of styles in the night’s co-headliner, as accomplished wrestler and inaugural women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza takes on a six-time Muay Thai world champion in Poland’s Joanna Jędrzejczyk, who’s aiming to become the first European UFC title-holder of the modern era.

On top of that, you’ve also got Johny Hendricks versus Matt Brown, Roy Nelson versus Alistair Overeem and plenty more besides to justify your decision to stay awake through the night and be a dysfunctional member of society on Sunday.
