It has been almost three years since we have seen Nate Diaz at the Octagon, but he makes his return against Anthony”Showtime” Pettis at the co-main occasion at UFC 241 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on August 18. Pettis created 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 with both fighters as a pick’ em.
Anthony Pettis was around a win-one, lose-one series on his last seven battles and has not earned back-to-back successes because he won five in a row by 2011 to 2014. He has been an underdog in every one of his last three fights and had close to pick’em chances in his weight reduction to Dustin Poirier in November 2017.
Diaz has never been preferred since his knockout loss to Josh Thomson in 2013, a span of five conflicts. He cashed as a +300 underdog in his battle and a +315 underdog vs Michael Johnson with Conor McGregor.
Pettis definitely has been the more active fighter competing seven times because Diaz was in action, so there’s enormous significance on Showtime, in the event that you believe in ring rust.
These are fantastic grappling abilities just two fighters, with fantastic cardio and great striking. Pettis is much more creative and has really solid kicks, while Diaz continues long and that he mocks his competitors if they step backwards as he would rather get into a phone booth and swap hands. Diaz does a terrific job throwing mixtures and flurries .
The road to victory for Pettis is assaulting the lead leg of Diaz, although I feel that the Stockton native needs to back Showtime against the weapon and wear on him with punches in bunches and clinch work to deserve the win.
Odds as of August 2
