According to this report by Globo, Anthony Pettis is returning to lightweight and will fight Jim Miller at UFC 213.
Fun fight. Crazy how far Petits has fell.
Dam, easy fight for pettis one would think
Easy fight against Jim Miller????????????????
Jim Miller is a beast.
Pettis has lost 4 of 5, Miller has won 3 of his last 4. Pettis has nothing to lose.
Would rather see Pettis vs Gaethje
stringtheory -Fun fight. Crazy how far Petits has fell.
My first thoughts exactly.
Plus, you can never underestimate Jim fucking Miller. You never know w him.
Pettis is the one who called out Jim. From wheaties box to calling out Jim Miller lol. Nothing against Jim I'm a fan of his, hope he wins this.

Miller is one of my favorite fighters. He's never in a boring fight
slicedcity -Have you ever even seen a Jim Miller fight lolDam, easy fight for pettis one would think
If Pettis doesn't dominate and/or K.O Jim Miller I don't see him getting back to his champ days.
I love Jim Miller but he is not on Pettis' level when Pettis is at his best.
Miller by Submission
Either jim by grind/sub in a scramble, or pettis by body kick tko, unfortunately. C

It's a great fight for both guys. Miller is a legit gate keeper. IF you can beat him, you're an elite fighter.
Pettis has a chance to show he's still elite. Miller has a chance to climb his way higher up the ladder.
So what do we think happened to Pettis? Knock to his confidence after his loss to Anjos? Personal life effecting his mindset? (Torching of his cars) USADA? Seems weird to me how far he fell in such a short time.

He looked flabby at 145. Chiseled at 155. Lost 4/5. Off to bellator for a hendo rematch when miller grinds him out.
