Former UFC Champion Anthony Pettis Signs With PFL

Former UFC Champion Anthony Pettis is now signed to the Professional Fighters League. The PFL announced the news Wednesday shortly after promotional partner ESPN reported it.





Pettis (24-10) fought out his UFC contract this past Saturday with a unanimous decision victory over Alex Morono at UFC Fight Night 183.





Pettis faced Alex Morono at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Neal on December 19, 2020. He won the fight via unanimous decision. With this being the last remaining bout on Pettis' UFC contract, Pettis announced on December 22 that he was choosing not to accept a new offer from the UFC and would be testing free agency.





Just one day after announcing he would be testing free agency, Pettis announced on December 23, 2020, that he has signed a multi-fight deal with the Professional Fighters League, and he would be competing as a lightweight in the 2021 season.





No date or first opponent has been listed for Pettis. The PFL’s 2021 season is scheduled to kick off on April 23 in Las Vegas.
