Pettis went so far as to state he took this fight because he believes he’s better everywhere. I’m not entirely certain he’s wrong and we won’t know for sure until his back is against the cage fending off Guida’s incessant attempts. For Pettis to truly win, he’ll need to be able to transition between dimensions of the game rapidly and flawlessly. As soon as he stuffs a takedown he needs to create an angle and strike, for example. That’s the key to stopping Guida. Once you let him settle into his type of game where the opponent is counterfighting, that’s usually too much.
My prediction? I like Pettis here to prove he’s incredibly elite.
