Stevie Ray needs lightning to strike twice in Anthony Pettis rematch

If Stevie Ray is to progress towards the $1million PFL final, he'll need to once again get past former UFC world champion Anthony Pettis.

The Scot has had a mixed return to action after three years out of the cage following his UFC exit, losing his debut in the PFL before landing a stunning twister submission against Pettis back in June. The pair fought a tough first round in Atlanta before Ray earned the five points needed to get through to the play-offs with a rare submission.

And while lightning may strike twice in New York City, it's unlikely the twister will given how difficult they are to land at the best of times. Ray would become the first Brit to win the seven-figure lightweight belt if he can get past first Pettis and then the winner of Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs Alex Martinez, which takes place earlier in the evening.
