Is Pettis ever going to wear the strap again?

And I don't mean the strap-on. I don't think he ever gets the title back. Khabib wrestle fucks him to death. Not sure he can even beat RDA. Too bad I really enjoyed Showtime. Phone Post 3.0

I think he can. In the pocket with RDA things went bad and he got rocked and never recovered. He still kept fighting so not only does he have skill and talent but his heart is unquestionable. Khabib is the dark horse in this equation. If Khabib does not get past RDA then a rematch is not going to be a walk in the part for RDA - both are great champs - If Khabib gets the strap he will be the harder to overthrow IMO

Agreed VU

If he can stay healthy, it's possible. He could always go after the FW strap though if LW doesn't work out.

I don't think so, he is good though. But yeah I agree that khabib and rda will beat him. Also I don't think he can beat aldo. Phone Post 3.0

he finished Melendez and Bendo on the ground + KO Cowboy. if he keeps improving for sure he will get the belt back.

You mean Mcgregor?


WOOOOOOO! Phone Post 3.0

Yes, i think he absolutely can.

As Santo mentioned, he got caught and lost his depth perception early in the fight. That was his fault for getting caught but even then, it did look like he had the opportunities to throw his trademark stuff but just could not really pull the trigger with his usual force. That said, the fight still showed he has some adjustments or improvements to make in his punching imo and other little things to set up the big things. RDA may have had the perfect game plan to beat him though I still think Pettis is capable of more then he showed the first time around.

Regarding Khabib, he is obviously a better wrestler than RDA but RDA probably showed better ring craft and td set ups than what Khabib has shown?

He's Still relatively young, I would say his chances are good. Phone Post 3.0

Similar but Pettis looked more in the fight than Barao throughout the fight. Barao also looked pretty bad imo in his next fight. We havent seen Pettis fight again but i think his chances are better than Barao. I think TJ's got his number style wise.

At 145. Phone Post 3.0

Doubtful. He does not have good enough tdd. And if he does get the right matchups to get back to the belt he will never hold it for long. A champ has to be elite in that area these days. Phone Post 3.0

Solid points by all.

Be confident in the feeling that he can't beat RDA.

He had nothing at all for him. Phone Post 3.0
