Looks like a harsh cut for sure, I'd rather not fight if I couldn't cut it at my natural weight and had to half kill myself to make weight in a lower division.
Its the lack of vibrancy that concerns me. When I look at another skeletor, like Conor, he still has an energy about him at the weigh ins. Pettis looks like he needs a zimmer frame to move 5 meters. I guess I need to see the video, as an image isnt telling the complete picture. It could just be that this particular shot makes him look really ill.
Damn, didn't like the transition to begin with, but I think he has a goal in mind. I always wanted to see him vs Aldo and Conor. His losses at LW weren't even that bad either. He simply got out wrestled. He needs to seal that hole up and he'll be fine. People forget how wicked his striking is once he lets go. Showtime needs to come back!
Pettis is an elite striker for sure, he seemed to lose his confidence after getting rag dolled by RDA. He has never been good with his TDD. Hopefully Greg Jackson has his head in better place. I think he KO's Oleveria.
