Showtime Anthony Pettis Ready to Shine
Ready for UFC Stardom Next Week
In his young life, Anthony "Showtime" Pettis has seen a lot of highs and lows.
A WEC lightweight title at 23. The murder of his father, 6 years before that.
The birth of his pride and joy, a baby girl. But a loss, and a shoulder injury that saw him get bypassed for title fights not once, but twice.
But on January 26 in Chicago, Pettis hopes to prove he belongs among the lightweight elite of the UFC by beating Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, and getting a belt back around his waist.
