Less than 24 hours after ex-UFC lightweight champ Anthony Pettis pitched a fight with two-time welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson , he’s gotten the verbal green light. Thompson (21-8 MMA, 8-7 UFC) today posted on Instagram that he’d be happy to take on Pettis (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC), telling fans he’ll welcome the veteran lightweight. “We both got highlight reels, let’s do it!” Thompson wrote. Pettis made the callout after a tough run at lightweight, with a bid to cut the line of contenders unsuccessful against Tony Ferguson at UFC 229. The setback left him at 3-6 in his past nine outings.
