Anthony Pettis got back in the win column with a unanimous-decision win over Donald Cerrone to close out the prelim portion of UFC 249 from VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

The two turned back the clock in an exciting three-round affair, but it was Pettis who held the consistent advantage in earning the nod from all three judges.

The win gets Pettis back to winning after suffering back-to-back losses to Nate Diaz and Carlos Diego Ferreira. The 33-year-old has bounced around from lightweight to welterweight multiple times to try to rejuvenate his career, but neither weight class has stuck.
