Ultimate Fighting Championship UFC) Lightweight and Featherweight contender Anthony Pettis hasn't had the best luck when it comes to mixed martial arts (MMA) title shots.

When he -- along with most of the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) roster -- was absorbed into the UFC ranks after the MMA promotion went under, he was promised a 155-pound title fight against the winner of the Frankie Edgar vs...

Anthony Pettis was just looking to get in a quick workout.

Pettis, who was scheduled to challenge Jose Aldo Jr. for the UFC featherweight title in the main event of UFC 153 in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 3, was in Brazil fulfilling media obligations when he decided to roll with light heavyweight Phil Davis, who is also on the card.

"The last day of the press conference in Brazil, the UFC took us out...

After dropping out of his fight with Jose Aldo, Anthony Pettis is now trying to hijack T.J. Grant's UFC 164 main event with Benson Henderson.

Streaking lightweight assassin, T.J. Grant, is expected to challenge Ben Henderson for the 155-pound title at the UFC 164 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for August 31, 2013 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

But a lot can happen between now and then.

Just ask former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, who was promised a crack at the 205-pound crown on two separ...

Josh Burkman shocked the mixed martial arts (MMA) world last Friday night (June 14, 2013) when he defeated Jon Fitch in the main event of World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 3, which took place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"The People's Warrior" needed less than a minute to secure the submission win by way of guillotine choke (watch replay here).

Following the event, UFC Pr...

As we've already discussed, the upcoming UFC 164 lightweight title fight between Benson Henderson and TJ Grant isn't exactly capturing the hearts and minds of MMA fans, and could potentially tank on pay-per-view. (Which wouldn't be the first time that Bendo has tanked on PPV.) So when Anthony Pettis went down with a...

Roy Nelson pushed his chips all-in on Saturday night. Riding a tremendous three-fight knockout streak into the last fight of his TUF 10 contract, Nelson was poised to make a remarkable jump in pay scale if he just could get by unranked Stipe Miocic at UFC 161.

Unfortunately for Nelson, things didn't quite work out as planned. But if "Big Country" was looking for sympathy, he didn't need to turn ...

UFC 161 wasn't good, was it? Well that's okay, because UFC 162 promises to be a great card filled with interesting and potentially exciting fights. Chris Weidman, only a week or so removed from stopping Mark Munoz, has earned his title shot against middleweight champion Anderson Silva. There were rumors that Silva was injured and that this fight was in jeopardy, but it appears those rumors are fa...

With all the mayhem going on at the top of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight division, Ricardo Lamas appears to be the odd man out.

The UFC's No. 2 ranked 145-pound contender was just weeks away from a high stakes bout against Chan Sung Jung on one of the biggest cards of the year at UFC 162, and is now without an opponent for the event.

"The Korean Zombie" was pulled from ...

We just got the news a couple of days ago that Anthony Pettis was hurt and forced out of his UFC 163 shot at Jose Aldo's Featherweight title. The Korean Zombie will now get his well-earned shot and all is right with the Featherweight world.

However, Anthony Pettis is back acting as a free-radical in the Lightweight division. He claims he'll be recovered from a torn meniscus and cleared to fight ...

A knee injury forced Anthony Pettis out of his planned UFC 163 title shot against featherweight champion Jose Aldo Jr. But according to UFC president Dana White, Pettis will still be in line for a title shot when he returns, whether it's at featherweight or lightweight.

Speaking to reporters after UFC 161 in Winnipeg, White said "He's definitely in line [at featherweight], but we'll see what hap...

Despite the fact Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight Anthony Pettis was forced out of his UFC 163 featherweight championship bout with Jose Aldo due to a knee injury, the fighter's coach claims "Showtime" is targeting a return to the cage just four weeks later at UFC 164.

The mixed martial arts (MMA) community was collectively crushed on Friday (June 14, 2013) when UFC President Dan...

Anthony Pettis is hurt and out of UFC 163. Featherweight champion Jose Aldo now fights Chan Sung Jung at the event.

So much for the Anthony Pettis experiment.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight number one contender, who abandoned his post at 155 pounds to challenge Jose Aldo for the Featherweight title, has been forced to withdraw from his upcoming fight against "Junior" after tearing his meniscus.

One man's loss is another man's gain.

Stepping in for him on short notice is Chan Sung Jung,...

Anthony Pettis can't catch a break. Pettis' coach Duke Roufus told MMAFighting.com on Friday that Pettis "popped his knee" while training in Brazil this week. Pettis was in Brazil to promote his UFC 163 title fight against Jose Aldo. When he flew back to Milwaukee, Pettis was still complaining about the knee, so he went to get MRI. That confirmed his worst fears: Torn meniscus. Four-to-six ...

Anthony Pettis's divisional line-cutting has apparently angered the vengeful MMA Gods, who have struck down the crowd-pleasing striker with a knee injury. UFC president Dana White just confirmed the bad news, saying that Pettis is officially out of his scheduled featherweight title fi...

Well it looks like The Korean Zombie got his wish.

After publicly stating that he felt Anthony Pettis hasn't 'earned his place' in the division to be granted a title shot, the MMA gods shine on Chan Sung Jung through an unexpected knee injury from Pettis, placing TKZ in UFC 163 against Jose Aldo. The way that was written suggests that MMA gods granted Jung a reward by injuring another fighter,...
