There have been several successful brother duos in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA). From the Shamrock brothers to the Nogueira brothers, these pairs have left their mark on the sport. One such duo is the Pettis brothers, with Anthony Pettis being a former UFC champion and Sergio Pettis carving his own path in the MMA world.
Unlike his brother, Sergio Pettis had a slower start in his MMA career. He made his professional debut two years before Anthony won his first title. Sergio went on to win nine consecutive fights before finally earning a UFC contract in 2014.
During a recent press conference, Pettis opened up about his journey and the challenges he faced. He described himself as a late bloomer, taking time to develop his skills and confidence. Growing up, he struggled with anxiety and lacked confidence. Being in the shadow of his superstar brother added to the pressure, but it also helped him discover his true self.
After a successful run in the UFC, Pettis made the move to Bellator MMA, where he quickly became a force to be reckoned with. He won the Bantamweight title just three fights into his Bellator career and has since defended it twice against top contenders.
Pettis, now considered one of the best 135-pound fighters in the world, is set to defend his title for the third time against interim champion Patchy Mix. The highly anticipated bout will take place in the co-main event of Bellator 301 in Chicago, Illinois.
