I think Pettis is as hot as can be right now considering hes been on highlight reels all across the world for quite some time. The iron is hot.. its easy for casuals to forget about Pettis if he goes ahead and losses to Guida, but its also a GREAT TIME to promote him now, when hes not only hot in MMA circles, but outside them from being pimped in that highlight reel video a million times.

The point is, after the fight there was still a champion (Frankie). That champion was supposed to fight Pettis. Gray is the one that should be waiting, not Anthony. Theres no point in having #1 contender matches in a ZUFFA promotion, because they essentially mean nothing.Comment

Coming out and saying 'this is for a #1 title shot', unless you are happy with both guys in a fight, is just plain silly. It backs you in to a corner with very little upside.
Adding that extra pressure only seems to bring out the worst in some fighters as they fight a boring fight to get the shot and end up costing themselves the shot by being so boringComment

It sucks for Pettis, it's a hippocritical move by Dana, but in the end, if I was running the business, I'd make the same callComment

Guys have to realize the #1 contendership stip is promotion. Nothing more, nothing less.
They announced the Hominick/Roop fight later this month...if Hominick wins, he gets a shot at Aldo. If Roop wins, then they'll decide afterward who will get the first shot at Aldo.

Regardless, I'm going to be pissed if Guida goes back to his old tactics against Pettis after showing off his expanded game.
