Anthony Pettis is moving down to Featherweight

Antoine Pettis is up there with Michael CroCop
 
Finally...

I feel like his slow fighting pace is his biggest issue. No way that gets fixed cutting more weight and fighting more energetic guys.
 
Great move by Pettis, it was pretty clear guys were stronger than him at LW. I just fear wrestlers like Chad and Edgar will give him problems.

Either way there is a lot of fun fights for him at FW.
 
Who cares

He'll be back up to lw in 2 fights, I guarantee it... Only problem is it'll take 3 years as he'll pull out of fights while at fw

And no I'm not hating on this overrated fighter, just saying the truth
 
i thought cardio/game planning for grapplers was his biggest problem, not size.

are we calling him antoine now that he's in another weight class?
 
If he's moving down, maybe he's also dedicating a lot of time to wrestling. Could be a beast at 145. I know he hasn't looked good lately, but it wasn't too long ago that we were all thinking he was gonna starch Dos Anjos.
 
it might be one of those rare instances where I think dropping a weight class is the right move. Pettis really looked at a strenght disadvantage at LW lately. I don't even know how much weight he was cutting to begin with, considering that he has got chicken legs and looks very lean.
 
Call me crazy but I'd like to see him face Bruce Leeroy.
