Some fights bring a ton of beef and animosity, and some are just firecrackers between a couple nice guys.
It appears the latter might be the case for the UFC on ESPN+ 6 main event in Nashville next month – not that there’s anything wrong with that.
In the headliner, two-time 170-pound title challenger Stephen Thompson (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) meets ex-155-pound champ Anthony Pettis (21-8 MMA, 8-7 UFC), who is moving up to welterweight for the first time. He also recently fought at featherweight. Thompson is No. 6 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA welterweight rankings; Pettis is the No. 13 lightweight.
Tuesday, the fighters were together in “Music City” to promote tickets going on sale this week for the event. If you were looking for a couple mean-muggers ready to throw down at a photo-op face-off, think again.
Check out their video interview below ahead of a Nashville Predators hockey game.
