LAS VEGAS – Anthony Pettis intends on putting a stop to Tony Ferguson’s winning streak at UFC 229.
Former lightweight champ Pettis (21-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) meets Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) in Saturday’s co-headliner in a crucial fight for the 155-pound division.
Although Pettis previously dismissed Ferguson’s lightweight record 10-fight winning streak, he gave props to his opponent during Wednesday’s UFC 229 open workouts at Park Theatre.
“Tony’s a beast, 10-fight win-streak, you can’t deny it,” Pettis told UFC reporter Megan Olivi at the conclusion of his workout. “But he hasn’t fought me yet.”
Ferguson is fighting for the first time in a year after having surgery on his knee in April. Pettis, meanwhile, is more than three years removed from dropping the 155-pound belt but plans to put on his “Showtime” moves to halt Ferguson’s run and put himself back in title contention.
UFC 229 takes place at T-Mobile Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
