Anthony Pettis is hell-bent on adding another world title to his collection, and there will be little margin for error when he faces Brazil’s Raush Manfio at PFL 6 on Friday night. There aren’t many fighters who know more about belt collecting than “Showtime” – by the time he was 26, the Milwaukee native had already worn the lightweight strap in the WEC and UFC. But after swapping the Octagon for the SmartCage ahead of the Professional Fighters League’s 2021 season, 34-year-old Pettis (24-11) dropped a unanimous decision against Clay Collard on his promotional debut in April. Given the PFL’s unique regular season format, where bonus points are awarded for a stoppage, Pettis will be eliminated before the divisional play-offs if he can’t put Manfio (12-3) away. “I’m actually excited about the opportunity. The season, the play-offs and everything that comes along with it,” Pettis told SCMP MMA. “My fighting style always looks for the finish. That’s what I do. I make it entertaining, I keep it fun.” Indeed, Pettis fast became a fan favourite by putting together an epic highlight reel full of classic knockouts. You want to talk about iconic moments in the sport. Here's one for the ages. Anthony Pettis delivered the Showtime Kick 10 years ago today! pic.twitter.com/PMlumq4swj — Chamatkar Sandhu (@SandhuMMA) December 16, 2020 His “Showtime kick” when he won the WEC title against Benson Henderson (28-10) in 2010 is still one of the most iconic moments in MMA – but fans are less likely to see such a flashy move at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. “This time around I’m going to be a different fighter – I’m going to be a lot more basic, a lot more clean,” Pettis said. “The first fight taught me a lot of things that I’m going to adjust in this fight. I went home and made the right choices in training and the right camp moves and I feel good,” he added. It has been almost 15 years since Pettis began competing professionally in MMA and the Roufusport star is focused on getting to the top of the pile once more. “PFL champion,” he said, of his one goal for 2021. “I’m not thinking of nothing else, man. I just had a daughter and I left her at home to be here. This is the sacrifice I make to be the champ.”
