Max Holloway Meets Anthony Pettis At UFC 206
Anthony Pettis (pictured) finally snapped his three-fight winning streak in his last outing, but the UFC didn’t do Pettis any favors for his next assignment. On Wednesday, it was announced the former UFC lightweight champion will face white hot Max Holloway at UFC 206.
Pettis collected the much needed win by submitting Charles Oliveira in August. It was his second featherweight affair after dropping from lightweight. “Showtime” had been more like no time prior to tapping the Brazilian. After getting dominated by Rafael Dos Anjos to lose his belt, Eddie Alvarez pulled out a split decision victory that motivated Pettis to drop 10 pounds for a change of scenery.
