From aaronbronsteter: UFC Notebook: Pettis earns highlight reel KO victory over Thompson. MORE:
Anthony “Showtime” Pettis showed that he still has the ability to live up to his moniker.
In his post-fight interview, Pettis said that he should be considered a top-10 welterweight after the win, which is almost certainly going to be the case when next week’s rankings come out, as Thompson has been a perennial top-three fighter in the division. Markos has had an up-and-down UFC career, but she looked like she had finally put it all together in this victory, utilizing her wrestling to neutralize the mostly striking-based Hill.
The final Canadian was John Makdessi, who landed leg kicks at will en route to a unanimous decision over Jesus Pinedo in a fight that drew a negative response from the crowd due to a perceived lack of action. Despite being 37 years of age, former women’s bantamweight champion and the first fighter to defeat Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm is going to continue her career for the foreseeable future.Holm was supposed to face Aspen Ladd at UFC 235, but that matchup dissolved for undisclosed reasons.
According to a report from Brazilian outlet Combate, former two-time featherweight champion Jose Aldo was hospitalized last week due to a bacterial infection.
