I think Pettis gets Nate Diaz next. Both coming off a loss and they really dislike each other.There's growing fear the lightweight titleholder is cursed. Since winning the 155 belt in August 2013, Pettis defended the strap successfully only once. Now RDA is dealing with a looming MCL procedure. Also for those questioning "Showtime's" heart or toughness, he suffered and concussion during the fight and received 7 stitches. Never did I see his determination waver. He was beaten by a better man Saturday night.Interested to see who pettis gets next.....now that his cloak of invincibility has been removed....theres a big target on his head, hes got some legit challenges ahead to get back to the top.
A lot of the top 155 guys are tied up. RDA has the belt. Khabib vs. Cerrone for #1 contender. Eddie and Gil in Mexico. Johnson called out "Bendo" post-fight. You could give Pettis a moderate contender coming off a loss, like Khabilov. Or throw him right in with Green, who was supposed to fight Masvidal next month before pulling out. I would love to see a kickboxing exhibition between "Showtime" and Barboza, both coming off losses. Or perhaps Jury, "Punk" Thomson. 155 is so damn deep.
