Myles Price return ends with a loss to American Anthony Pettis

There was defeat for Kilkenny fighter Myles Price when he went down to former UFC and WEC champion Anthony Pettis at a PFL event in Arlington, Texas on Friday night.

'Magic' Price, who last fought at at Bellator 217 in 2019, recently signed with Professional Fighters League (PFL) after leaving Bellator and the promotion booked him to fight Pettis. The bout, however, did not last long, with Pettis submitting his opponent at 4:17 of Round 1.

The American made connection on a rocking punch only seconds in to leave Price on the canvas. And while the Irishman recovered, Pettis' superiority saw him maintain strong top control. Eventually Price was rolled into a triangle choke submission. Adjustments followed, before Pettis rolled Price and ended up on tap.

From there Pettis secured a tight squeeze, a tap, and a win - a first success since defeating Alex Morono in UFC Fight 183 in December 2020.
