The WEC’s final champion recently received the unsettling news that his
UFC title shot is currently on hold, but that doesn’t mean Anthony
Pettis doesn’t have a little reason to celebrate.
UFC brass today announced that Pettis will receive an official
proclamation from his hometown of Milwaukee at a Thursday ceremony
hosted by the city’s mayor, Tom Barrett.
“This is an amazing feeling,” Pettis stated “It’s been a crazy year. I’ve won a world title,
been featured on MTV and ‘SportsCenter’ and threw out the first pitch at
the Milwaukee Brewers game. I never imagined myself being in this
position.”
