Duke Roufus wants to test Conor McGregor’s left hand versus ‘Pettis-kwondo’

Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis once again finds himself with leverage following his stunning KO of Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson at UFC Nashville, and his coach Duke Roufus wants him to get the most out of it.

Following the win, “Showtime” threw his hat in the perpetually crowded ring for a bout with Conor McGregor and he and Roufus are clearly on the same page. In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Roufus was asked about a potential rematch between Pettis and Rafael dos Anjos at 170 pounds, and he steered the conversation towards a meeting with “The Notorious” instead.
