It appears that Anthony Pettis was compromised early in his fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 241. The former UFC lightweight champion broke his right foot in the first round of his co-main event with Diaz, which he lost by unanimous decision, coach Duke Roufus confirmed to ESPN Sunday.
The severity of the break is currently unknown, as is how long it will take Pettis to recover and return to the cage. The injury may require surgery, according to Roufus, but Pettis won’t know for sure until he returns home to Milwaukee.
Pettis posted a photo of his foot on Instagram early Sunday morning.
