It has been nearly 3 years since we’ve seen Nate Diaz from the Octagon, but he earns his return against Anthony”Showtime” Pettis in the co-main event at UFC 241 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on August 18. Pettis left his UFC welterweight debut out his time in March, which makes the jump from lightweight, and he became the first person to knock Stephen Thompson. Online sportsbook BetOnline has set the odds as a pick’em with both fighters sitting in -115. Anthony Pettis has been on a win-one, lose-one streak on his last seven battles and has not earned back-to-back victories since he won five in a row from 2011 to 2014. He’s been an underdog in each of the last 3 fights and had close to pick’em chances in his weight reduction to Dustin Poirier at November 2017. Diaz hasn’t been preferred to Josh Thomson in 2013, a period of five fights since his weight reduction. He cried with Conor McGregor as a +300 underdog in his very first battle along with a +315 underdog vs Michael Johnson. Pettis definitely has been the more active fighter lately so in the event that you believe in ring rust, there is tremendous significance on Showtime. These are two fighters, with cardio, fantastic grappling skills and great. Pettis is more creative and contains really strong kicks, while Diaz continues extended and that he mocks his competitors whenever they step backwards as he’d rather get in a phone booth and swap hands. Diaz does a terrific job throwing combinations and flurries . The road to success for Pettis is assaulting the lead leg of Diaz, while I think that the Stockton native should back Showtime from the fence and wear him with punches in bunches and clinch work to deserve the win.
