“Back to camp, @pflmma', wrote Pettis on his social network.
After his UFC contract expired at the end of 2020, Anthony became a free agent and signed with the PFL. On its debut in the new home, the following year, 'Showtime' disappointed and did not win any victories. On his debut in April, the former UFC champion was defeated by Clay Collard. Then, in June, another setback, this time for the Brazilian Raush Manfio. The North American has a record of 24 triumphs and two setbacks in professional MMA.
In 2022, Pettis will have another chance to win the lightweight tournament title. The winner of the championship takes home, in addition to the trophy, the grand prize of US$1 million. The new PFL season does not yet have an official date, however, it is expected to start in the first half of this year.
