Anthony Pettis

Anthony Pettis holds a 24-10-0 professional record as an Orthodox stance lightweight competing at 5'10" with a 72-inch reach. Over his career, Pettis has averaged 3.05 strikes landed per minute with 47% striking accuracy while absorbing 3.44 strikes per minute and maintaining 54% strike defense, establishing him as a volume striker with moderate durability.

His submission threat is notable at 1.1 submissions per 15 minutes, though his takedown output remains modest at 0.61 per 15 minutes with 50% accuracy and 60% defense. Recent results show mixed success: Pettis scored a unanimous decision over Donald Cerrone in May 2020 and a second-round KO/TKO against Stephen Thompson in March 2019, but suffered consecutive knockout losses to Dustin Poirier (round three, November 2017) and Tony Ferguson (round two, October 2018).

Earlier in his career, he defeated Jeremy Stephens via split decision in October 2011 and submitted Mike Campbell in the first round in June 2009. Now in his mid-30s, Pettis remains a crafty striker with submission acumen, though recent performances suggest he operates outside title contention at lightweight.
