Dos Anjos became the seventh lightweight titleholder in Ultimate Fighting Championship history, as he earned a surprisingly one-sided unanimous decision over Pettis in the UFC 185 headliner on Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. All three judges scored it the same: 30-27 for dos Anjos (24-7, 13-5 UFC).

Pettis (18-3, 5-2 UFC) was on his heels from the start. Dos Anjos bottled up the Roufusport star with merciless forward pressure on the feet and a continuous stream of takedowns across 25 minutes. The Brazilian made few mistakes in what can only be described as a career-defining performance. Dos Anjos bashed “Showtime” with left hands throughout the five-round fight, leaving him with serious damage to his right eye. He was the superior fighter in all phases: According to preliminary FightMetric figures, dos Anjos connected on 144 strikes, 90 of them significant, and was successful on nine of his 10 takedown attempts. He passed the Pettis guard five times, moving to the Milwaukee native’s back in the third, fourth and fifth rounds.
