UFC bantamweight Sergio Pettis suffered the first loss of his professional career at UFC on FOX 10 on Saturday night, and according to his coach, Duke Roufus, Pettis “didn’t take it well.” Then again, Roufus added, “most successful people don’t.” In the third and final round of a “Fight of the Night” bonus-worthy effort against Alex Caceres (10-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC), Pettis attempted a heel hook that turned into a scramble, which in turn allowed Caceres to lock up a rear-naked choke for the submission finish. It was a devastating turn of events for Pettis (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), but Roufus insists that some good will come out of it.
