Should the Pettis brothers retire or leave Duke Roufus?

Big Pettis gave a good showing his last fight before he broke his hand. I would like to see him fight again.

Anthony peaked around 2013 and Sergio isn't (and never was) "elite" (from a top UFC caliber perspective). A move would be little (if any) help for either of them at this point. Bellator/One would be a perfect fit for them now.

Cold but true

They're just gate keepers in the UFC at this point

the pettis bros could really learn a thing or two from the 3 of you masters, too bad they don't train with you guys.

I will train them to be good fighters when they leave planet earth.
 
I agree they have both peaked, but they have still got some good fights left in them. It just needs careful matchmaking. Any camp that can teach older Pettis to circle instead of moving straight back and putting his back against the cage is a good next camp.
 
Sergio isn't super talented, and Anthony isn't super talented when it comes to boxing and wrestling either. And not being a champion doesn't mean that you should switch camps and retire lol, most fighters never make it that far.
 
Sergio should go train with Holloway's camp. Anthony should go to ATT. Think they would both improve from a switch, but yeah they're too loyal to Duke.

Neither you idiot. Now delete your account I told you last night if Lee loses you delete your account.

It didn't break, he quit. Just like his non broken ribs vs Poirier

Is him vs Justin still a maybe for early next year?
 
Thought you could delete that thread so nobody would notice.
 
That must have been a depressing one for Sergio. Based on that I can’t see him even being able to crack the top 15 at Bantamweight. I believe I am right in saying he still has not finished a fight in the UFC.

Anthony Pettis has looked better in his last couple of fights although he took big damage against T Ferguson. Given the depth in the division there are still some good fights out there for him. Not sure what his contract situation is. He was on good money so I can’t see him being renewed on the same deal
 
Sergio has never been outstanding, he's not elite at any aspect of MMA and he lacks any kind of finishing ability, so whenever he finds an specialist, he'll loose. Anthony was amazing, he's always entertaining, but he doesn't seem to have motivation and has had problems with pressure. His schedule hasn't been forgiving either, but he is still a legit gatekeeper at LW

Technically he is very good but he is undersized as fck at BW
He should go to One IMO, he really is a FLW

When he fights dudes his size he does well, he's technically pretty good.

Probably right. Still showed enough skill in that fight though and its not like losing to Tony is a reason to quit. He would probably be smart to avoid Justin and aim for Kevin Lee or an Aldo fight next.

Both brothers are super talented but have been taking nothing but beatings lately. Doesnt seem like they are gonna get any better training with Duke. I think its time they move on from Duke or just retire from the sport. Thoughts?

I think Anthony is always looking for a “highlight finish” and his hands have become fragile of late. He has broken his hand in almost every fight in the last 5.

Sergio.. doesn’t get “dirty” when needed. He sticks too much to the pure arts and doesn’t brawl when it’s needed
 
Anthony is washed up and Sergio came to the UFC too early imo, he was like 20 when he debuted.
 
Everyone should leave Roufus

He's just a coach who happens to attract world class fighters but he never improves them. Who has gone to Roufusport and vastly improved their game? Guys there just get through on their natural talent
