Anthony Pettis is aiming to redeem himself in this year’s PFL campaign after failing to qualify for the playoffs in last year’s competition.
Pettis, 35, signed with the PFL last year following a near 10-year tenure in the UFC. ‘Showtime’ fought some of the best fighters during his time in the promotion and captured the lightweight title in 2014, defending it one time before losing it the following year.
The Milwaukee-native even holds wins over current UFC featherweight champion Charles Oliveira and top welterweight Stephen Thompson. Despite his experience, Pettis was eliminated in the opening round of last year’s PFL tournament after losing fights to Clay Collard and Raush Manfio.
