Anthony Pettis vs. Jose Aldo
For a brief moment, we were about to get arguably the most anticipated superfight a fan could have asked for at the time, as [autotag]Anthony Pettis[/autotag] opted to move down to featherweight to challenge [autotag]Jose Aldo[/autotag] for the UFC featherweight title, as opposed to challenging for the lightweight title.
The two were linked for a matchup at UFC 163 on Aug. 3, 2013, but Pettis pulled out citing a knee injury. Aldo went on to face Chan Sung Jung, defeating him via fourth round TKO, and retaining his 145-pound title.
The fight with Aldo was never rescheduled, as Pettis went on to challenge Benson Henderson for the UFC lightweight title at UFC 164 in his hometown of Milwaukee, submitting Henderson via first round armbar, becoming the UFC lightweight champion.
