Jussier da Silver is hoping for a title shot following this past weekend’s win over Ben Nguyen, but if that doesn’t happen, he at least has another willing dance partner for a future fight.
Sergio Pettis called out “Formiga” on Instagram on Monday. The younger brother of former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis had a four-fight winning streak snapped in his last outing, as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo at UFC 218.
“Congrats Jussier Formiga on your performance this past weekend,” Pettis wrote.
