Anthony Pettis not feeling extra pressure to win in wake of veteran cuts

If Anthony Pettis is supposed to be worried about his UFC future, that’s news to him.

Whether competing at 155 or 170 (or even 145 on occasion), Pettis, 33, has been one of the UFC’s most reliable competitors, bringing both an exciting style to the octagon and a familiar face for longtime followers of the promotion. That veteran status has provided him with some security even as he’s struggled to string together consecutive wins over the past few years. However, other UFC stalwarts have recently seen their time with the promotion come to an end, with UFC President Dana White mentioning that there will likely be more cuts before the end of the year.
