Pettis staring a hole into RDA right now. RDA looks confident. Pettis looks extremely calm. Something crazy bout to happen.

This should be a fun, fun fight. Love to see what Pettis has in store. So athletic, so fun to watch. And dos Anjos so tough!

Wow. Dos Anjos bringing the murder.
— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) March 15, 2015
Well, damn. Dos Anjos is here to make all of us look like dummies in round one, apparently. No fear of MMA’s premiere sniper so far.

Man, Raphael dos Anjos ain’t messing around. He’s already cracked Pettis with a number of really, really hard shots.

Dos Anjos is outstanding so far. Wow

Rafael dos Anjos just spent five minutes battering Anthony Pettis. Wow. 10-9 RDA.

I always wonder what it must be like to see a teammate get starched before you fight. How about your lil brother?

This is a one-sided beatdown right now.

Ten minutes in, we’re going to see the title crowning of the most improved fighter in MMA history or a championship comeback for the ages.

I’m ready to give Rafael Cordeiro the Coach of the Year award from now until forever.

American Airlines pretty much silent. Seems symbolic of RDA’s entire career, as he goes about destroying Pettis for three rounds. Nuts.

This is also a one-sided ass beating. I can’t believe I just typed that.

What the ish did they put in the champs’ water in Dallas this week? This is nutty. Two utterly dominant performances from ‘dog challengers.

Dos Anjos is completing one of the most one-sided title wins in UFC history. This is incredible.
— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) March 15, 2015
That was jaw-dropping.
