ANTHONY PETTIS WON’T be getting his hands on a UFC belt this weekend in Toronto.
Pettis is due to take on Max Holloway tomorrow night in an interim featherweight title bout, which will form the main event at UFC 206.
However, a spanner was thrown in the works at today’s official weigh-ins. Holloway came in right on the mark at 145lbs, but Pettis could only manage to make 148lbs.
Pettis can subsequently no longer win the belt, but UFC president Dana White has confirmed that Holloway will be crowned interim champion should he emerge victorious.
Pettis made weight at 146lbs for his featherweight debut against Charles Oliveira. Fighters can avail of a one-pound allowance in non-title bouts.
The winner of the interim featherweight title bout is expected to face Jose Aldo next. Aldo was reinstalled as reigning featherweight champion a fortnight ago after Conor McGregor was stripped of the title.
And what about Danny Graham for pushing McClean or the abuse that Sunderland fans shouted at McClean throughout the game? What’s the fines or warnings for them?
Funny thing was Lee Cattermore of all people lecturing!!
And if you know your history!!!

My personal opinion is Sunderland were the club that gave him his chance and paycheque outside the loi. He should be a big enough man to get on with it and not infuriate them. There’s only one thing worse than a bad loser and that’s a bad winner. Suck it up princess.
did you read his personal opinion where he said he felt that Sunderland hung him out to dry…? and after getting dogs abuse for 90mins would you not want to show them some defiance? I know I would… fair play to the man for sticking up for what he believes in!
so because a club pays your wage you should act like an indentured slave and not question anything?
No I didn’t read his opinion. He has lots of opinions on lots of things. I don’t see how he could be hung out to dry. Football is a business. A business where cry babies like him earn in s day what some people earn in a year.
Absolute Tit
I think his poppy stance is honorable but this kind of crap doesn’t help his case
