MMA Geeks Ep. 9 - UFC Thompson vs Pettis Picks and Predictions

Anthony Pettis and Stephen Thompson meet in the main event this weekend to see if they can figure out which of them is a bigger gun slinger. Both are known for preferring exchanging punches and kicks over grappling technique. Will Thompsons size advantage prove too big a factor or will Pettis' speed make that a non factor? Two heavyweight prospects meet in the co-main event as Curtis Blaydes looks to get back in the win column against the surging Justin Willis. Will Willis continue his climb up the heavyweight ranks or will Blaydes reassert himself as the heavyweight to watch? We also discuss TJ Dillashaw getting suspended for a banned substance and relinquishing his bantamweight title because of it. We go into the Cerrone-Iaquinta matchup recently announced.
