Anthony Pettis promoted to Brown Belt

[CinemaKingdom]

He was promoted to purple belt after submitting Benson Henderson (almost 1.5 years ago) but apparently he was promoted to brown belt after subbing Gilbert Melendez according to his Wiki profile. I hadn't heard anyone talking about this like they did when he was promoted to purple.

Nice, he did have a quick transition but subbing the guys he did he deserves it! Congrats on your purple belt.
