Stevie Ray trying to ignore $1million PFL prize ahead of Anthony Pettis rematch

Scottish lightweight Stevie Ray is attempting to keep the thought of a $1million PFL win at the back of his mind ahead of tonight's play-off with Anthony Pettis.

Ray submitted Pettis in the second round of their first meeting in June during the pre-season of the Professional Fighters' League, but the American had already qualified for the play-offs. So their second bout should be one of higher intensity, with Pettis looking to prove he is still at world championship level at this late stage of his career.

After three years out of the cage, including a brief retirement, Ray was brought into the PFL this year, losing a decision to Alex Martinez before tapping former UFC champion Pettis in his biggest career win. And he has now found himself just two wins away from PFL gold, and becoming a millionaire.
