Anthony Pettis Is Down For a Fight Against Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor called out Anthony Pettis after the latter’s win at UFC on ESPN+ 6 last night, and Pettis is down for it. After McGregor posted to Twitter congratulating Pettis on his win and hinting at a fight with him, Pettis said (per MMA Weekly) that it sounded like a good idea to him.

“Let’s do it,” Pettis said. “170, 155, I’m not cutting to [featherweight] again, I’m with it. That’s a fight I think the fans would love to see again, too. Two strikers like that. It would be amazing.”

McGregor’s callout was in response to a post mentioning that Pettis joined Kenny Florian and McGregor himself as the only UFC fighters with wins at featherweight, lightweight and welterweight. McGregor congratulated Pettis and asked “who f**king wants it?” However, McGregor has also said that he would be down for a rematch with Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier, and Jose Aldo, so he has no shortage of opponents to pick from.

Welcome to the club and congratulations.
Now who fucking wants it? https://t.co/XrNU4VDc3Z
