    UFC Quick Quote: Anthony Pettis is overrated

    by Jesse Holland mmamania



    "Pettis is overrated. I just think he's too flashy. He's not what everyone thinks he is. First of all, he should have not taken a fight. He should have sat on his ass and waited for his title shot. I wouldn't have done that, I would have fought too because I can't sit around, but now where does he go? Who knows, hopefully he goes against me, because that would be awesome."

    Streaking UFC lightweight Donald Cerrone (15-3) tells Pro MMA Radio he agrees with Gray Maynard's recent assessment of Anthony Pettis. "The Bully" balked at the idea of "Showtime" getting a UFC lightweight title fight after his five round win (and highlight reel kick) over Ben Henderson under the now-defunct WEC banner. Pettis coughed up his number one contender status when he came off the bench to answer the call of Clay Guida at the Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 Finale earlier this month after he was unable to saw his way through "The Carpenter's" wooden top control. Is Cerrone unjustly hating on his fellow WEC import? Or does "Cowboy" have a valid argument? Whose side are you taking in this debate? And who else (besides Nostradumbass) is up for a "Cerrone vs. Pettis" grudge match?

    Cerrone vs. Pettis has gold written all over it... Cerrone may be the most exciting fighter in the UFC at the moment.

    Cerrone may have been more exciting before Greg Jackson got in the picture. Now he's tactically winning and not going for finishes. Pettis is significantly more exciting and has the right style to beat Cerrone. I'd love to see it, and apparently Ceronne want's it as well or else he wouldn't be starting shit out of left field.

    He did the right thing by taking a fight and not sitting on his ass getting cold. I think it worked out for him, losing showed him he's still got some improvements to make and he's not ready for a UFC title shot just yet. Showtime is talented as fuck, he just needs more experience. He should take as many fights as he can.

    Pettis is not overrated even he loses a decision to another "grind" style grappler. He is a good talented kid with a good head on his shoulders. With a bit more time, he will learn how to handle these fighters who live their lives to win an mma match via decision due to take-downs.

    Maybe when Duke Roufus ups the grappling side of his camp. Otherwise Pettis will need to cross train elsewhere or change camps completely. He's gone on the record stating that he has everything he needs in Milwaukee.

    Winning is Winning and I absolutely hate point players in comparison to finishers. But that's just how it is...

    And I agree, he is not overrated.
