Anthony Pettis puts himself forward to step in for Conor McGregor fight

Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis says that he is willing to step-in at short notice to fight Conor McGregor.

The American has tweeted to say that he wants a shot at the Dubliner after it emerged that current world champion Rafael dos Anjos has been forced to withdraw from the bout on March 5th in Las Vegas.

Pettis, who lost to Dos Anjos last March, retweeted this address by MMA journalist Ariel Helwani:
