MILWAUKEE – More than three years after he moved down to flyweight looking for greener UFC pastures, Sergio Pettis is back at 135 pounds. Unlike his last weight move, he feels a lot better about where he’s headed in advance of a fight against Rob Font (15-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) at UFC on FOX 31. “When I dropped to 125, I was a little bit younger, and more insecure about, ‘Oh, these guys are bigger,’” Pettis (17-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) told MMAjunkie in advance of the FOX-televised card on Saturday at Fiserv Forum. “Now, I’m 25 and I believe in myself and my skillset.” Old man strength isn’t just the only added benefit to fighting heavier. He’s not wrestling with his immune system from cutting weight. He doesn’t have to worry so much about every calorie that goes in his body
