Unfortunate news surfaced recently that former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis was targeted, and that several of his and his brother’s cars were set on fire<\/a> and destroyed in the driveway of their Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. <\/p>\n

While both brothers took to social media shortly after the incident to give their thoughts on the matter<\/a>, there has been no word as to who committed the act, or why the Pettis brothers were targeted.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0053\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/a>, Pettis, who is currently gearing up for a UFC 206 scrap with streaking featherweight Max Holloway<\/a> on December 10th, spoke about the situation, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was sleeping,\u201d Pettis said. \u201cI had gotten home from Thailand and I just got done training, so I was tired. I woke up to what sounded like a gunshot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily, my daughter wasn\u2019t with me,\u201d Pettis said. \u201cIt was me and Serge and my nutritionist from (New) Jersey. It was his first day in town. Welcome to Milwaukee.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The damage? Two destroyed Range Rover’s, a Jaguar, and smoke damage to a Porsche parked in the garage. Unfortunately for Pettis, there has been no word on who committed the crime:<\/p>\n

\"Anthony<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve gone through the phases of trying to figure out who did it and why,\u201d he said. \u201cNow I\u2019ve got to move on with my life. It\u2019s just a crazy time for it all to happen \u2013 five, six weeks out from the biggest fight in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the crazy thing \u2013 I can\u2019t think of one person who would want to do this,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I sit here and try to figure out who and why, it will drive me crazy. Do I let this consume me, or do I keep pushing forward and continue to train and live my life?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely should have been more prepared,\u201d he said. \u201cBut at the same time I never thought anything like this would happen to me. One event like this won\u2019t make me leave. I grew up in this city. It could have happened anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, they catch who did it and justice will be served.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
