Anthony Pettis has returned to Milwaukee to fight in his home city for the first time in nearly a decade, but the circumstances are nothing like they were back then. The last time Pettis competed in Milwaukee was in MMA for the UFC lightweight championship, which he claimed after submitting Benson Henderson in the first round at UFC 164 . Ten years later, Pettis is gearing up for a boxing match this Saturday against legend Roy Jones Jr. to headline Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred Boxing 4 event at Fiserv Forum. It streams on UFC Fight Pass pay-per-view for $49.99. The card is chalk full of former UFC fighters as Vitor Belfort takes on Ronaldo Souza in the co-main event; Jose Aldo and Jeremy Stephens run it back from their 2018 UFC fight; and Pearl Gonzalez takes on Gina Mazany
