Ζητάει περισσότερα χρήματα o Αnthony Pettis, λένε τώρα πηγές του UFC ενώ ο δημοσιογράφος Ariel Helwani υποστηρίζει πως δεν έχει κλείσει το ματς.
Αντιθέτως ο Khabib Nurmagomedov περιμένει να μάθει με ποιον θα παίξει, καθώς εκτός από τον Pettis παίζουν «δυνατά» και οι Felder και Iaquinta.
Anthony Pettis is not weighing in again. He is still in play to fight Khabib but it would be a 3 rounder, per NYSAC. No decision yet. Felder and Iaquinta are options but so much is fluid.

I'm hearing that @Showtimepettis asked for a bigger payday, #UFC countered with less. Pettis declined, @felderpaul gets the spot. Standing by for more info from my girl @vevyrodrigues in NYC… #UFC223

I’ve hearing a rumour that the commission have told Pettis he’s not fit to go five rounds. Not sure we will see Khabib fight. Only other option is Al as they won’t consider Felder as he’s not ranked. Let’s see if they confirm this, still waiting. #UFC223
