In response to some statements Gray Maynard said about not being too impressed by Anthony Pettis and that save for Ben Henderson, he’s only fought scrubs, Pettis told HeavyMMA:
“I feel bad for the guys in the WEC. He’s downgrading all of the WEC fighters, which are doing very well in the WEC,” said Pettis. “If I’m fighting scrubs, his peers are getting beat by the scrubs I’ve been fighting. I feel that he might a little jealous of my level of success so fast. I’m probably the most famous UFC fighter that hasn’t fought in the UFC yet.”
Maynard is not known for trash-talking but it looks like the lines have been drawn for a good ol’ rivalry between the two Lightweights. Pettis faces Clay Guida this June 4th at the TUF 13 Finale.
