Anthony Pettis vs. Max Holloway added to UFC 206
Major improvements are still being made to UFC 206 — like this one.
Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will meet Max Holloway in a high-level featherweight contender matchup at UFC 206 on Dec. 10 in Toronto, TSN reported Wednesday. The UFC confirmed the fight on its website, along with another bout between Mitch Gagnon and Matthew Lopez.
Pettis (19-5) is coming off a third-round submission win over Charles Oliveira at UFC on FOX 21 in August. Before that, "Showtime" had lost three straight at lightweight and decided to move down to featherweight. Pettis, 29, held the UFC lightweight title from 2013 to 2015, when he dropped the belt to Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 185.
