(Also see: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Anthony Pettis? ) Stephen Thompson is on the first two-fight losing streak of his career after experiencing his first career knockout at the hands of Anthony Pettis on Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 6. After a stretch of close decision losses that included a pair of title-fight shortcomings, Thompson (14-4-1 MMA, 9-4-1 UFC) looked on his way to getting back on track as he got the better of Pettis (22-8 MMA, 9-7 UFC) on the feet. Then, out of nowhere, he got caught, dropped and stopped with a highlight-reel shot from “Showtime,” marking the first time in his MMA career that he’s been finished.
