Pettis wants the fight, too. With Nurmagomedov unable to get an eliminator and Grant still nursing his concussion it actually makes sense, supposing Pettis can be good to go in four-five months.
I had no issues with the Makdessi decision, in fact, I thought Alan Patrick should have won and thought he was gonna get screwed. He was far far far more aggressive than Makdessi. Rogan was atrocious tonight, and his highest point was his reaction to this fight. Felt bad for Faber, I wouldn't say he was getting pounded at that moment, he was intelligently defending himself. He'll get another title shot just because he's that damn good against everyone else. Overeem/Mir was so boring. Overeem looked like he fought scared. With Mir's chin, he should have put him away.
