Former lightweight champion Anthony “Showtime” Pettis made his welterweight debut on Saturday in the UFC Nashville main event and made a statement by knocking out fourth ranked Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. After the stunning KO finish, fighters reacted to the win via Twitter.
I’ll take care of Lee first then I’ll see you Pettis. Great win btw. ?????

Sometimes Mma makes no sense . Ol young Hercules Tyron Woodley couldn’t KO Thompson in 10 rounds and Mighty Mouse Pettis comes in and get it done . Awesome fight #UFCnashville

I can’t believe that just happened. I know Pettis is beast in the stand up department, but I felt Wonderboys size and striking would win it. This fight game is crazy. #UFCNashville
