So, the 155 title is essentially locked up for ~7 months?

Pettis will probably get hurt again anyway.

 

[Bigj383]

Maybe we will get some clear contenders by then. Right now LW is kind of muddled.

To be fair, nobody trained conditioning as hard as that man. Sherk is also 5'6'' and it's easier to look like a monster when you're muscular at that height.

training conditioning like a monster while looking the way he does doesn't really go hand and hand. Im not trying to dog on the guy but he has "THE" look of someone that is geared up, and he just happened to have the misfortune of failing a test too? Suspicious..

cutting to 155lbs at 5'6 and having it all be shredded muscle is next to impossible to do naturally while training like a maniac.

It was either that or no Melendez. Fans were going to be upset regardless.

If Grant were to fight again and win he's a shoe in.

Khabib is obviously a threat, and with one big win he's in there.

RDA is sort of a dark horse, and needs a big signature win.

If Eddie Alvarez ever managed to come over, he would be an auto title shot, IMO.

The Ultimate Vacation.

 

[jiujitsuforever]

its more held up than bantam weight was with barao and cruz

 

[JAGDPANZER209]

Pettis will suffer some new injury during the airing of that season of TUF.

 

[LilMountain]

Get used to it, Pettis seems to get injured a lot so if he stays champ this might be the norm

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

Pettis wasn't gonna fight anytime soon anyway with the knee surgery and all. No Pettis until December sucks but unfortunately, this seems to be par the course with him

Ding.

Besides, now they can set up contenders.

 

[City_Lights]

What happened to Aldo getting the title shot?

 

[Narddawg]

It sucks, it's an awesome fight but TUF is gay as fuck.

 

[wellz6]

pettis will get hurt during filming and we get ben henderson vs gilbert II

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he gets hurt again somehow and pulls out of the fight.

 

[acidic]

Sucks. Don't like any of this.

 

[RockyLockridge]

If Pettis is injured he may as well coach, in the mean time make some money, hype up fight/return ppv, it's basically extended promotion for his next fight.

does anyone know what season frankie and bj are doing? it thought they were doing tuf 20?

 

[315MMAFighter]

Yessir TS, cant wait for this fight,

Frankie and BJ are coaching TUF 19 in April.

Gil/Pettis is probably going to start in October.

 

[Overnoww]

It's better to keep the champ in the public eye than to just have him sit.

I believe I read something saying they will start filiming in June or mabye July??

So october sounds about right for airing time.

 

[SherdogGoat]

Okay so that 1% hope of Aldo vs Pettis is gone too. Arghhh
