10 UFC Fights We Want For Anthony "Showtime" Pettis

Who do we want to see Showtime in the cage with?

Aldo Pettis Anthony €œShowtime€ Pettis will have a lot of challengers waiting for him when he returns to action after coaching the upcoming Season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter, which will consist solely of women€™s strawweight fighters and crown the first ever UFC strawweight champion at the end of the season. Pettis hasn€™t fought since last August (2013), and it will be well over a year out of action for the champ by the time he finally returns to the octagon. In the meantime, there€™s a huge backlog of opponents waiting for him upon his return, and a lot of interesting match-ups to make €“ as well as some potential dream fights that could be absolutely thrilling for fans! "Showtime" is a flashy champion - you probably remember his "Showtime Kick," the Matrix-like cage kick he delivered to knock Benson Henderson down during the last-ever WEC lightweight title bout (most people forget that the kick didn't actually knock Henderson out and that the fight went to decision). You might remember his incredible flying knee off the cage as well, in a bout with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone. He's got the flash, the style, the technique - and all this means that no matter who he is fighting, he's going to put on a show. With so many names lining up, the potential for action and carnage is absolutely salivating. Pettis is one of the most skilled strikers in a division extremely high on skill level. The division that B.J. Penn built is absolutely thriving these days, so lets take a look at the top ten fights we want for Pettis upon his return!
