Anthony Pettis is fresh off his come-from-behind victory over former two-time welterweight title contender Stephen Thompson last month at UFC Nashville and his longtime coach is already eyeing another exciting stylistic match-up for his next fight.
The fight against “Wonderboy” was Pettis’ first welterweight bout under the Ultimate Fighting Championship banner and the win immediately propelled the former lightweight champion up to eighth according to the official UFC welterweight rankings.
Now, at 32 years of age and already a previous champion of the 155-pound division, Pettis’ head coach Duke Roufus told MMAFighting.
