Former UFC lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis He already has a date and place to make his debut in the featherweight division. It will be on August 27th, at UFC on FOX 21, in the city of Vancouver, Canada, against the Brazilian Charles of the Bronx.
The fight will represent a duel of styles between experts. Pettis is considered one of the most skilled athletes in stand-up fighting, with knockouts over Donald Cerrone e Joe lauzon, as well as the classic “Showtime Kick” about Benson Henderson. Do Bronx has won 13 of his 21 victories by submission.
Coincidentally, both athletes have competed at lightweight in the past. Pettis has lost his last three fights at the weight, against Rafael dos Anjos, Eddie Alvarez and Edson Barboza; Do Bronx had two defeats, against Jim Miller e Donald Cerrone, and a no contest in his farewell to the lightweight division in 2011.
Fatal change? Makhachev ignores warning and could end tragically at welterweight!
