The highly anticipated UFC debut of Anthony "Showtime" Pettis is set... But not for PPV. For the TUF 13 Finale. Anthony Pettis was slated to face Clay Guida at UFC 131 in Vancouver, but instead will be held in Las Vegas. In a confrence call with Dana White, Dana announced the fight is set for June 4th. Pettis' Trainer made these comments:
"It's unfortunate he doesn't get the title shot, but Anthony is confident, and we as a team are confident in his skills, he's got a golden opportunity even with this situation. We're very fortunate that he's been put in the contender position, let alone a shot at the title. He's going to take advantage of the opportunity and run with it."
As for Guida, he is coming off 3 straight wins, and a 4th straight win all but seals him a title shot with the winner of Edgar/Maynard 3.
The 13th season should have some promising prospects, such as Karl Amoussou, Zak Cummings, and Andre Galvao, The finale should feature a top welterweight prospect.
