Sometimes you gotta know when to look your fighter in the eye & tell them the truth. Anthony, you're just about done. You're not a top contender anymore, in ANY weight-class. You will NEVER win a belt again, EVER. Its not going to happen. These young savages will murder your whole family and you can't stop them. You can't.
Pettis new place is a 155 gatekeeper. You struggled with Jim Miller for christs sake. You belong fighting decent guys, not the elite. Guys like Trinaldo, OAM, Yancy...thats where you're at right now Anthony, not fighting Wonderboys.

I can't ignore common-sense. Pettis wouldn't have taken this fight if he wasn't a least a little intrigued at the possibility of fighting at 170. Ever since USADA, Showtime been rocking' the dad bod.

I could see woodley getting In his ear saying thompson Is an easy fight since he beat him twice.
Strange move still. Normally not something u do if u thought u had a chance to make a title run in your own division. Maybe he already knows his time is ending and he's just trying to cash in on the biggest money fights he can get before its over.

So maybe he knows something we don't as far as how these two will match up, but to me this seems like a terrible idea for Pettis.

Steven Peterson, TKO, R3
6'3" at Featherweight can't be healthy! I will be surprised if Pena even makes it to the Octagon and if he does his performance is bound to be affected
