Duke Roufus: I would've stopped coaching if Anthony Pettis lost his last fight

Duke Roufus revealed that he was planning to call it quits if Anthony Pettis lost to Charles Oliveira at UFC on FOX 21.

Anthony Pettis was coming off two consecutive losses when he faced Charles Oliveira at UFC on FOX 21 late last month. Fortunately for him, he was able to break the streak by winning his featherweight debut via third round guillotine choke.

Like Pettis, who would have put his UFC career on a compromising position if he incurred a third straight loss, head trainer Duke Roufus was also on a "win or go home" mentality that night.
