I thought Pettis looked real nervy before the fight and flat during. He showed heart to gut it out but that wasn't the Pettis we've seen before.
I know it's been said elsewhere about Duke not giving good advice through the fight but he was telling AP to stay off the cage and get moving, which he totally failed to do. I just think we saw sub-par Pettis for the first time, really. Perhaps he underestimated RDA.. I think if it were Benson in front of him, it would have been a different Pettis.
I think he'll come back stronger, and he's already destroyed many of the top contenders (Gil, Cowboy specifically) so yay, rematches.
