Anthony Pettis has had his confrontations with UFC lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos since he lost the belt to the Brazilian at UFC 185 in March. With a fight against Eddie Alvarez rapidly approaching, though, Pettis said he’s put dos Anjos and the title out of his head. Pettis (18-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is set to clash with Alvarez (26-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 81 on Sunday at Boston’s TD Garden. The main card airs on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on the same channel and UFC Fight Pass. It’s an important bout at 155 pounds, and one Pettis said he knows he must win if he hopes to get back in the title picture
