The younger brother of one of the top UFC lightweights, Anthony Pettis, is quickly making a name for himself at 125 pounds. At only 18 years old, “The Phenom” already boasts an undefeated record of 5-0, with 2 TKO wins and 2 submissions, showing a well-rounded game.
There is also one very important trait of Pettis; maturity. In an interview with Sherdog.com following his 4th win, he said that he realized that he has a lot of time to improve and that he does not need to rush to the UFC. He knows he needs to grow and he knows he’s not ready for the UFC just yet. At 18 years old, most guys think they are ready to take on anything. Sergio, on the other hand, is perfectly okay with taking his career slow.
Personally, I think Pettis is only a few wins away from a UFC contract. He could very well be able to break Jon Jones record of youngest UFC champion if he can tap into his potential.
Remember his name.
