Drop to Bellator
It's not safe there anymore. WSOF or OneFC are the fall backs now.
Drop to Bellator
pretty much. ate the left hook from Barboza all night and couldn't adjustdidnt see the fight last night but im assuming he still has absolute shit boxing
I think Pettis is a good fighter, I just think as he peaked he got matched up with favorable opponents. Now I truly believe he is where he belongs...in the middle of the pack, fighting the who's who of the division. He's certaintly talented, but that damn "Showtime" kick was the best and worst thing that could've ever happened to him. From now on, he's gonna win 2, drop 1, win 3 in a row, drop 1..ect.
Lol Pettis as big as Barboza, just less muscular.
I guess around 180/175+. Saw recently that in his kickboxing career he had 4 losses only, 4 decisions and one of them was a welterweight fight and he won the rematch and never fought as welter again. He is very ripped but i don't think he does cut a lot, in some of his videos you can see he is bigger off camp but still inside a "normal" looking level.Yeah. Barboza is super ripped, I wonder what's his walk around weight. He must be pretty solid even during his off season.
Pettis should wait for Henderson to become the Bellator lightweight champ, and then become the first man to take three belts from him in diferent organizations.
This is a hilarious suggestion. In reality I think Ben beats him now in a LW Bellator match.Pettis should wait for Henderson to become the Bellator lightweight champ, and then become the first man to take three belts from him in diferent organizations.
It's amazing after all these years he can't boxpretty much. ate the left hook from Barboza all night and couldn't adjust
IMO he's just been drinking his own kool-aid for too long. Happens to a bunch of athletes across a bunch of sports.
Too much time in front of the mirror outside of training... and also too much time in front of the mirror while actually training. Your 1-off flashy shit is not what you should build your tactics around.
He can say it's injuries and all that, but I think him worrying about how cool he looks on the big-screen checking his hair and eyebrows after the fight kind of shows a glimpse into the issues behind the scene.
Some athletes thrive off of struggle, and I think Pettis is more of the other end of the scale, sort of the glass-cannon type. He excels at winning with attacks, but lacks the fire if it swings away from him holding the hammer.
its the injuries, he can't train like he used to and is therefore regressing.
That would be Pettis-Benson 3 actuallySet up Pettis v Benson 2
