Anthony Pettis wants TJ Grant’s lightweight shot in Milwaukee, Benson Henderson just wants to fight.
Here we go again, another title shot, another possible usurper. This is why fighters need to look at their employer’s calendar of events and possibly discuss with their bosses, matchmakers, management and team to figure out just what the hell it is that they want to do. Anthony Pettis should’ve simply called up Joe Silva or Dana White, and said: “hey, any Milwaukee shows...
