Anthony Pettis is a former WEC lightweight champion.
And, after hearing Donald Cerrone continue to call him out during a press conference Thursday, “Showtime” made sure to remind Cerrone of that on Twitter.
If u want to fight me you dnt have to be a bitch and make up lies
@cowboycerrone ill show you why I was the champ and u weren’t!#fb— Anthony Pettis (@Showtimepettis) August 9, 2012
Pettis is currently working his way back into fighting shape after undergoing shoulder surgery. He defeated Joe Lauzon via knockout earlier this year, and appears to be a contender in the stacked lightweight division.
Cerrone, meanwhile, is set to face Melvin Guillard Saturday night at UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar II. It appears that “Cowboy” and Pettis are on a collision course for a future encounter inside the Octagon.
