Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E tatari ana a Anthony Pettis ki tētahi pō uaua i a ia e tiaki ana i tana taitara taumaha māmā ki a Rafael dos Anjos. Ko Pettis anake tana tuarua o te tiaki i te whitiki i wikitoria e ia ki a Benson Henderson 18 marama ki muri i a ia e upoko ana i te UFC 185 i Dallas. Ahakoa e matapae ana ia i te tukinga, e mohio ana te Amerikana e kore e taea e ia tana ake huarahi. Ko Anthony Pettis (māui) e tū kanohi ki te kanohi ki a Rafael dos Anjos i te taumaha o te pō o te Paraire i Dallas. He ahua whakamiharo te ahua o te Amerikana i a ia e eke ana ki te pauna i mua i te hunga pāpāho o te ao. Ka mihi atu tētahi kotiro Okaton ki ngā kaiwhawhai i te taumahatanga. 'Kei te kaha te pēhanga. Ki te tautoko katoa ēnei tāngata i a koe, e hiahia ana koe kia kaha ki te mahi. 'Ko ia pea te tangata tino mōrearea i roto i te wehenga i roto i toku whakaaro. Ki taku whakaaro he kaiwhakataetae nui ia. He kēmu pakari, he tino pai, he kaitākaro kickboxing pai, he jujitsu mīharo, ki taku whakaaro ko tōna kaha nui ko tōna ngakau. Kāore ia e whakamutu, kei te haere tonu mai.. Ko tōna ngoikore nui, kāore anō ia kia whawhai ki tētahi pēnei i a au. Ki taku whakaaro, ko aku koki me ngā mea e maka ana e au ki te Octagon, kāore he mea e rite ana. Ko taku matapae - KO. E hiahia ana ahau ki te knockout, kua roa te wā mai i taku knockout whakamutunga, ā, kāore au e haere i tua atu i te rauna tuatahi. 'He toa pai ia, engari he toa nui ahau.' Kua wikitoria a Dos Anjos i ana tukinga whakamutunga e toru, tae atu ki te tukinga tuatahi o Henderson i te marama o Akuhata i mua. Kāore hoki ia e mataku i te mea ka riro anō ia hei tangata pōhara. 'Ka haere ahau ki reira ki te tango i taku whitiki,' ka mea ia. 'Kāore au e mōhio me pēhea te haere o te whawhai, engari e mōhio ana au kāore e haere ki ngā kaiwhakawa. E kore au e tuku i ngā kaiwhakawa ki te whakatau, ā, kāore e rima ngā rauna. Ka pēhi au i a ia, pērā ki aku whawhai katoa. Ka rite ahau mō tōna kāhua, ā, kāore ia i te rite mō taku mana. Ka haere au ki roto ki te tiki i taku whitiki. Ko te mea anake e hiahia ana ahau i a ia. 'He tino harikoa ahau ki te noho hei toa toa toa tuatahi mai i Brazil. He rā ka riro i ahau te whitiki, ā, hei te Rāhoroi. Kei roto i nga ringaringa o te Atua. 'E kore ahau e whakararuraru i te mea he tangata iti. Ko ahau te tino tangata i roto i te nuinga o aku...
