LAS VEGAS – Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis has a lot of opportunities on the table at this stage of his combat sports career, but only wants to test himself against the best available opponents.
Pettis, who defeated Benson Henderson at Karate Combat 43 in their third career matchup, can choose from several avenues. Whether it be in striking battles with Karate Combat, non-season MMA fights with PFL or traditional boxing, “Showtime” has options.
However, the opponent has to be someone who will get him motivated to be at his best. PFL’s Cedric Doumbe is a name that fits that bill, and it helps that the two are under the same banner.
