Ahead of his fight with Carlos Diego Ferreira at UFC 246, Pettis talked with UFC News (h/t to MMA Junkie) and shared his feelings about making his comeback and returning to 155 pounds in full form.
Anthony Pettis: I don’t make excuses
The last outing of the former Champion went badly for him. Pettis not only had to fight with an injured hand that incapacitated him to even draw a jab, but he also dropped the decision to Diaz in the end. The loss cost him his chance of title contention, and he lost his heart a bit.
But Pettis was never one to make excuses.
Pettis is also glad to be where he is physically. Cutting down to 145 pounds in 2016 took a long-lasting toll on his body, and it took a lot for him to recover and get to this place, Pettis said. But he refrained from cutting weight the whole of last year and competed at 170 pounds, thus allowing his body to rest and heal.
