Maybe it was BS, but it was a wake-up call for a guy like Pettis.
He's going to run into good wrestlers in his UFC career and he'll have to deal with it better in the future.
Say he fights Maynard down the line. IF I'm coaching against Pettis and my guy can wrestle, we're going to go that route.
Still, he's one of the most exciting fighters in the world right now, so I see no reason that he won't be able to add this to his already impressive game.
Roufusport has to be one of the the hottest fight gyms on the planet right now. Koch getting a title shot. Belcher climbing up the ranks. Pettis, very close to title shot. Rothwell is going to get a decent opponent.
Not too shabby.
