Blue please?

Damn Straight! He deserves it the most out of everyone in the lightweight division.

YES! TJ is the man, will be a great fight.

I smell another Canadian champ... :) Phone Post 3.0

if Anthony's knee is ok this will likely main event the fox december show.

Pettis is a superstar waiting to happen.  Once he's on fox people will fall in love with him.

Good. Phone Post 3.0

Well deserved. I wish Ricardo Lamas would've been extended the same courtesy.

They obviously want to build him up a bit before setting up the Aldo fight.

Blue please?


Oddly enough, I've heard Dana say this before. ;-)

Pettis all day, way too technical for T.J. I think Grant beats Bendo, though, if they ever fight. Phone Post

I think this is the right thing to do. Plus aldo has some interesting opponents emerging in the weight class Phone Post 3.0

TJ put up a helluva fight with a guy that most are picking to take out the greatest welterweight ever. I have a feeling he is going to surprise the hell out of a lot of people.

The one thing Pettis really has going for him, is one person that won't be sleeping on Grant is Duke. He makes sure Anthony is well prepared for his opponent.

Pettis has to do something to slow TJ down quickly, or he will probably see himself bulled up against the cage taking bombs.

I really think it's a mistake for anyone besides Aldo to try to fight Pettis on the feet, which means unless Grant gets the takedown he'll be doomed like the rest.

Good for grant glad to see him get his shot....but i say pettis takes it via tko. Phone Post

Great news! Looking forward to seeing Grant get his shot. Tougher match up for him though I think Phone Post 3.0
