If it's a guaranteed title shot, then I'm waiting," Pettis said. "That was my goal this year, and I'm definitely going to wait and get better."

UFC President Dana White said despite Pettis' dominant performance over Cerrone, who had won six of his first seven fights in the UFC and had never been knocked out before, he didn't believe there was reason to take Melendez out of the title fight in favor of Pettis.

"I think the Melendez fight is pretty set, but (Pettis is) next," White said. "I can't say enough things about the kid tonight – that was incredible. Obviously his big all-time highlight will be the kick off the fence. But tonight, the knee off the fence, was unbelievable."

If the Champion is hurt at that point, I would take another fight if not I would ask for a title fight in August of this year. If the champ was injured the only fight Pettis should take is an interim title fight. You have ignored this user.

orcus Member Since: 8/1/03 Posts: 75831	How does Gil in particular beat Pettis? He's not all that dominant a wrestler and his standup is lightyears behind Pettis'. You have ignored this user.

caposa 840 Member Since: 10/8/07 Posts: 12791	Also makes sense for the UFC to keep Pettis in their back pocket incase something happens to Bendo or Gil. A lot can happen in 4 months. You have ignored this user.

Hahahahahahahahaha.... you know they fought once before right? I'm giving you the benefit of the out doubt despite your 12/30/12 join date.

I know I'm a 12er also but I think bendo would beat pettis right now. They both have evolved a ton though since their fight and it'd be a close fight. However I think pettis ruins Gil. Phone Post

FunkMasterJoe 9 Member Since: 8/21/10 Posts: 438	I'd wait as well if I were Pettis. If Henderson gets through Gilbert, a Pettis/Bendo rematch for the UFC belt this time would be badass. You have ignored this user.
