  1. How does Anthony get the number 1 welterweight contender coming off quitting on the stool at 155. ‼️

  2. Pettit is awesome.

    Ariel – why did you say “our sport”? You are not a MMA fighter.

  3. There's been a lot of fighters thru the years that moved around but this era is doing it cause it's a fad maybe in a individual sport everyone should be individual🤔

  4. Big fan of Pettis but him and all of the rest of these guys who for whatever reason are having a rough time staying at the top of their division who also are on the back half of their careers should move to either One or Bellator where they can maximize their earning potential with better deals and sponsorships. Not only will that help all these guys who aren't gonna retire into another fighter and the kid type show or as a commentator but it will help even out the talent and put pressure on both the UFC and mma as a whole to get better pay for these athletes.
