You guys agree? I would love the UFC to set up a Cerrone/Pettis matchup, that certainly has potential to be FoTY and more. I like both guys but I'd be pulling for Cerrone as he's my 3rd favorite fighter.

Cerrone is skilled at lining up lots of fights for himself... seems like he wants to fight everyone.

This would be a great matchup.

Would be a sweet fight. I can see where he is coming from because Pettis did kind of get thrust into a top 5 status after the cage kick. But, Pettis is a very good young fighter. I don't think he's overrated anymore, simply because after his loss to Guida he seems to have dropped in most people's rankings. So a few months ago, I agree with Cerrone. I really want to see this fight!

If Pettis is overrated then what does that make Ben Henderson? It would be a good fight, but I don't really see it helping either of them out in the lightweight rankings atm. If they did fight I would hope Cerrone isn't as tentative as he was in his last fight, otherwise I could see Pettis getting the better of him.

I would love to watch Cerrone beat the piss out of Pettis live in Denver!!! That alone would be worth the ticket.

I realize there are a lot of big Cerrone fans on this site... but I'll say it anyway. Pettis would kill him. He could take him down at will or dominate him on the feet. It'd be fun while it lasted though.

Pettis is very much overrated. But so is Cerrone. There is a reason he does not face top competition folks.

Yeah that reason is he lost 3 of 5 fights two to the same guy so he's gotta fall to the beginning of the pecking order and work his way back up...He'll be fighting top guys soon enough

I love Cowboy and Pettis.. but Cowboy more... I'd be rooting for him (UD).

Cowboy has good kicks and submissions. His hands are terrible. His standup defense is terrible. Pettis likely out works him.
