"Mitch McKee started strong, relying on his wrestling to get Pettis down in the opening round, eventually getting to the back and raining down ground n' pound."
"In the third, it was McKee all over Pettis, getting him belly down, flattening him out, and dropping lefts and rights as Pettis covered up."
"A similar fate met #2-ranked Raufeon Stots in the PFL Chicago main event, as he dropped a unanimous decision to unbeaten Renat Khavalov."
"The wins put the PFL's bantamweight division in an interesting spot, with no sitting bantamweight champ and several contenders emerging."
