Anthony Pettis Not Dropping to Featherweight, Eyes Lightweight Title in 2012

Anthony Pettis may not be getting the next crack at the UFC lightweight title, but he’s not going anywhere but on a hunt for the next best challenge at 155lbs.

During UFC Tonight on Fuel TV on Tuesday, it was reported that Pettis was possibly considering a drop to 145lbs and challenging featherweight champion Jose Aldo.

While it was anything but a done deal, the possibility seemed to exist.

Looks like he has some time to kill...maybe he likes fishing? I like this more than dropping to FW, he had much more to lose by dropping.

I think don't think anyone should just get to drop down a weight class and fight for a title soon.

Hendo, Pettis, Edgar.

You need to fight in that division a few times before you get a title shot. Can't just leapfrog people who have been fighting in that division.
