Fighter on Fighter: Breaking down UFC 206’s Anthony Pettis

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight roost-ruler, Anthony Pettis, is set to square off with Hawaiian kickboxer, Max Holloway, this Saturday (Dec. 10, 2016) at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

After winning five straight to capture and defend the 155-pound title, things fell apart for "Showtime." Rafael dos Anjos stormed his castle and threw him out the back door, and another pair of losses sent Pettis in search of greener pastures. Pettis tested the waters at Featherweight for the first time in his last bout, an absolute war opposite Charles Oliveira. He came out on top in a big way, but his performance definitely left some questions as to how much the cut was affecting him.
