Hey Dave: DW agrees that Pettis' situation sucks

[VCURamFan]

There are times in life when you just have to accept the cards you have been dealt and say to yourself, "it is what it is." Anthony Pettis is in such a situation. After earning his WEC championship title shot at the end of last year and during the absorption of the WEC into the UFC, Pettis was promised a title shot only to have that opportunity pushed back by the draw between Edgar and Maynard and their subsequent injuries.

In order to keep himself busy and getting paid in the meantime he took the fight scheduled for this Saturday against Clay Guida. Now according to Dana White himself it looks like Pettis will probably have to fight one more fight after this one to get his title shot. In a recent interview with Fighters Only magazine Dana White tells us how even he doesn't like the Pettis situation:

Sometimes even when the Il Duce of MMA thinks your situation is one for the crapper there is just nothing you can do about it other than accept it and handle it. After nearly six months without a fight, we'll all finally get to see how Anthony Pettis handles it against Guida at the TUF 13 Finale this Saturday night.

It *does* suck. I hope all involved get/stay healthy so we can finally see the outcome of Pettis vs Edgar or Maynard.

I'm looking forward to this Saturday, though, and it's free!

good thing since evil Comcast just sent out their new rate increases which kick in July 1...
