Twitter reacts to Anthony Pettis' submission of Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181


Following a 15-month layoff due to injury, Anthony Pettis (18-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) reminded the world why he’s UFC lightweight champion with a second-round submission of Gilbert Melendez (22-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC).

The 155-pound title bout served as the UFC 181 co-main event at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events. “Showtime” predicted a first-round finish prior to the event, and while he was unable to get the job done that quickly, he still finished the former Strikeforce titleholder inside two frames.

Pettis has received criticism for his inactive schedule since winning the belt, but all it took was one victory to prove he’s still undoubtedly the No. 1 fighter in his weight class.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions from Pettis’ UFC 181 title defense against Melendez.
