Aug. 12 * All Chances Taken
Cormier (22-1 plus yet another no-contest) is coming from a submission win over Derrick Lewis at UFC 230 and now is looking to defend his heavyweight title for the first time. He pumped Miocic in UFC 226 out turned into a two-division winner and to win the belt.
DC was also a heavyweight where he won the divisions Grand Prix and will be undefeated at r with remarkable wins over Josh Barnett, Antonio Silva, Frank Mir, also Roy Nelson.
Miocic (18-3) is coming off of a weight reduction to Cormier past July and has been awaiting for a rematch ever since. Prior to the loss toDC the Cleveland-native defended his title a record three occasions because he conquer Francis Ngannou by decision, also pumped out Junior dos Santos, Alistair Overeem.
When he knocked out Fabricio Werdum he won the buckle in UFC 198.
The odds suggest it will be a battle and also a difficult fight to call, and Im in that boat. In the first fight, Miocic had success on his toes with his attain and jab to keep at range and fire combinations in Cormier. Cormiers game plan eventually won out because he managed to get inside and make it afilthy boxing fight, where he would clinch, throw elbows and shouts that were short — the punch that pumped out Miocic.
Within this fight, I really dont see that happening, since I think it will be a battle that is very close, but both will probably go the distance. If they do, then it is going to be Daniel Cormier becoming his hand raised as his wrestling will be utilized by him inside his strain and this fight and dictate the pace to win a close battle.
Select: Daniel Cormier (-140)
Pettis (22-8) is coming from his welterweight coming back in March where he pumped out Stephen Thompson in dramatic style. Before he dropped to Tony Ferguson in UFC 229 after hed conquered against Michael Chiesa at UFC 226. Showtime is that the UFC lightweight champion and had fought to get a?? featherweight before.
Diaz (19-11) hasnt fought because UFC 202 at August of 2016 at which he lost to Conor McGregor. Ever since then, he has been for reasons awaiting a fight. Before the reduction to the Irishman, he shockingly beat on him at UFC 196 by submission.
Another close fight to call. Pettis has scrapped far lately I give the advantage to given the fact. The Diaz brothers are always training and in form, and the two fighters ought to be improved.
In this fight, for Pettis, it will be hard to knock Diaz out as he has a chin, however, the strength at 170 is legit. Many are pointing towards Diazs pace and cardio which will be a lot as they meet up standing for Pettis which is a fantastic point and over the ground. But, I believe Pettis is just better and will receive his hands raised by choice.
Select: Anthony Pettis (-125)
