Back in the win column with a key victory, Anthony Pettis is ready for another fight. On Saturday the former UFC lightweight champion targeted two names for his next outing. Pettis (21-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC), who’s coming off a second-round submission win over Michael Chiesa (14-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) earlier this month at UFC 226 (check out his post-fight interview above), issued his callouts on late Sunday night. They included fellow contender Al Iaquinta (13-4-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and frequent callout target Nate Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) – with a not-so-nice hashtag directed at Nate and brother Nick Diaz, with whom he has a bit of a rocky history (via Twitter ): “Yo @ALIAQUINTA I’m down 2 Fight @ufc said you are out indefinitely @NateDiaz209 what’s up don’t be scared homie #teampettis #fuckthediazbrothers @danawhite” Neither fighter has yet responded.
