Anthony Pettis Talks Lightweight Title Chase and Wanting to Fight Nate Diaz

LAS VEGAS — Anthony Pettis wants nothing more than to reclaim the lightweight title that was taken from him back in March, but settling his grudge with Nate Diaz is also very high on Showtime's agenda.

The beef between the former WEC and UFC 155-pound titleholder and the trash-talking Stockton, California, native has been simmering for quite some time, as The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 winner has continuously bashed Pettis over social media platforms.

The Roufusport leader has fired back at every turn, but the situation has reached a point where Pettis wants to shut Diaz's mouth once and for all.
