Pettis (19-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC) meets Jim Miller (28-9 MMA, 17-8 UFC) at UFC 213 on Saturday looking for recovery. That means not only bouncing back from a recent TKO setback to current featherweight champ Max Holloway, which followed a submission win over grappling expert Charles Oliveira, but a dire 1-4 recent record. There’s something to be said for the caliber of opponents the former lightweight champ has succumbed to. Other than Holloway, who earned the interim 145-pound belt with their UFC 206 battle, the list holds the likes of ex-champs Eddie Alvarez and Rafael dos Anjos, as well as current 155-pound contender Edson Barboza. But, regardless, it’s a slump.
