Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis says he’s now a free agent.
Pettis on Tuesday announced via Twitter he’d “decided to part ways” with his promoter “to explore free agency,” ending a relationship that began 11 years ago under the now-defunct WEC and led to a lightweight title in the UFC.
In a message posted minutes after the initial announcement, Pettis included a letter of resignation to UFC President Dana White and several UFC executives, thanking them for a “wild ride.”
Pettis also added: “I am excited about my future. I promise I am not done.
