News Pettis signs with pfl.

[RicardinhoPT]

He wouldn't become a UFC champ anymore and is now chasing the dollars, nothing wrong with that

 

[ninja boot]

good for him... bad for me as i have yet to ever see a pfl fight card available to watch

 

[rstringer]

His name is pretty much written in the record books with the UFC championship and final WEC championship. He wasn’t going to be anywhere near that position in the UFC anyhow.

Exactly my point.

 

[uchubaco]

Him vs Schulte would be a fun scrap…and it will show either in what level is Schulte right now if he wins or if Pettis still have it.

 

[Goatenstein]

Someone on these very forums predicted this weeks ago. Pettis won't be the best LW in PFL.

 

[Volador]

Damn this dude knew



I mocked him as well

lukewarmchunk > Ariel Helwani & Luke Thomas

UFC is like McDonald´s, it may be the biggest cat in tha biz, but they still pay crap.

And people are still confused by this.

Merry Xmas!

Good for him. Maybe he can win that $1 million payday. He wasn’t touching a belt in the UFC, might as well go for the bigger payday against lesser competition.

Yep, even without Khabib in the UFC, there's no way he'd get past Gaethje, Poirier (already beat him once), etc. Stong wrestlers and pressure fighters who are good boxers are his kyrptonite. Barboza and maybe even ancient Tony probably beat him again as well. Maybe he has a chance in the PFL, though.

No USADA Pettis is going to wreck people again.

USADA? I'm not sure if he's ever eaten a 12-ounce steak, much less PEDs. If he has, he's sure never looked the part.

thanks god there are other MMA promotions that are growing and the athletes can choose what´s the better for them and not get bullied by bald greedy pos and minions, that sponsorship money and respect they dont get in the UFC is gonna help growing the sport

make sure to apologize lol

 

[Kingz]

I hope he plans to fight at the 155 tournament, I don’t like him vs Rory or Cooper. I’m assuming he chose to move to PFL because he thought it could be an easy milli

So who are the other Roufus guys that will move to Bellator from UFC? Brendan Allen?

He already had the UFC belt, so...

Loses to Natan Schulte

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Pettis is up 2-0 .....no point

Their first fight was razor close before the showtime kick.

The 2nd fight Bendo was caught early.

IMO, as a fan of both fighters, I don't think its been settled which one is the overall better fighter.

He was making 350k to win in the UFC with opportunity of bonus checks.

Winning three fights in the UFC would already be more money than winning the 1 mil in PFL. I wonder if the UFC wouldnt renew his contract at the same rate, if if he would rather retire with another belt even if it isn't equal to the ones he held before.

LW? Already ducking Magomedkerimov

Remember this?

They do pay more than the others for the top talent. When they are ok with someone else paying more they will let them walk.
