This could easily be a FOTY striking battle, and we gotta wait this long? Aldo didn't get injured against Frankie, and Pettis doesn't have to cut much weight. So why the holdup? This should be happening in early June. |

Pettis probably wants to do a mock weight cut and see if he still performs well. Injuries maybe he gets the call to fill in for the title shot in April, a lot of random factors.

I think i'll take Pettis. He only cuts 2 pounds to make 155 so I think 145 will be easy.

KZTT_FawkingxD - Pettis probably wants to do a mock weight cut and see if he still performs well.This. I think the wait has alot to do with this. If we want a war, Pettis has to be comfortable and see how he has to tweek hhis style at that weight. I can wait for MMA awesomeness if its this epic

I imagine Aldo would like some time with his new baby as well. He's been in camp after camp for a while because of injuries.

Did they announce venue? They also may have it out so far so they can set up a Brazil venue...

I think they are gearing up for a stadium show.
They will do AS vs. Jones or GSP and Pettis vs. Aldo and just fill the rest of the card. COWBOY STADIUM AUG. 3RD BOOK IT BITCHES

This fight is so dumb in my opinion. Why take the #1 contender from lw and set up a fight with aldo that's 7 freaken months away??? That's just going to bottle neck the fw division even further. Feel bad for zombie and llamas and other fw contenders that have to wait around now for probably another year to have their shot.

MartialArtsMixed -Oh I see. Yeah man your right, that does suck. That doesn't mean they can't have really good FW bouts to hold it up, but its a downside as far as title contention goes.naughtiidawg liver kicked my SN -I talking about the other featherweights,MartialArtsMixed - This fight is so dumb in my opinion.

7 months may not be a lot now, but when Aldo is close to retirement and the past years of his prime are spent with two fights a year, as a fan, it sucks. He and the UFC can do what they like, I just want to see fights. And fuck TUF and it taking fighters away as well

Aaron Becker - not a big fan of Pettis at all but I wish this fight would happen sooner too You've been posting anti-Pettis all day, what's your beef with the man if you don't mind me asking? Far as I can tell he may be the most exciting fighter alive. |
