Aug. 12, * All Chances Taken
Cormier (22-1 and yet one no-contest) is coming from a submission win over Derrick Lewis in UFC 230 and now is seeking to defend his heavyweight title for the very first time. He pumped Miocic at UFC 226 out to win the belt and turned into a champion.
In Strikeforce,DC was a heavyweight where he won the divisions Grand Prix and is undefeated at heavyweight with notable wins over Josh Barnett, Antonio Silva, Frank Mir, and Roy Nelson.
Miocic (18-3) is coming off of a weight reduction to Cormier last July and was waiting for a rematch ever since. Prior to the reduction toDC the Cleveland-native defended his title a record three times because he conquer Francis Ngannou by choice, also pumped out Junior dos Santos, Alistair Overeem.
He won the buckle at UFC 198 when he knocked out Fabricio Werdum.
The odds suggest itll be a difficult fight to predict and a close battle, and I am in this boat. In the very first battle, Miocic had victory on his toes with his attain and jab efficiently to stay at Cormier at flame and range combinations. The game plan of cormier finally won out because he managed to get inside and make it afilthy boxing battle, where hed clinch, throw elbows and shouts that were short — the punch that knocked Miocic out.
Since I think itll be a very close battle in this fight, I do not find that happening, but both will move the distance. If they do, then it will be Daniel Cormier becoming his hand raised as his wrestling will be utilized by him inside his stress and this battle to style and also dictate the tempo.
Pick: Daniel Cormier (-140)
Pettis (22-8) is coming off of the welterweight debut back in March where he pumped out Stephen Thompson in spectacular fashion. After he had conquered Michael Chiesa at UFC 226, before that, he lost to Tony Ferguson at UFC 229. Showtime had struggled to get a featherweight and is that the former UFC lightweight champion.
Diaz (19-11) has not fought as UFC 202 at August of 2016 where he dropped to Conor McGregor. Since then, he has been on the sidelines for reasons awaiting a fight. Prior to the reduction to the Irishman, he beat him at UFC 196 by submission.
Another close struggle to predict. Pettis has scrapped way more recently I give the advantage to given the fact you never know what sort of shape somebody will be in after three years away in the Octagon. In form, and in welterweight, both fighters ought to be and Nevertheless, the Diaz brothers are always training better.
For Pettis, in this fight, it will be hard to knock out Diaz as he has an excellent chin, however, the potency at 170 is untrue. Many are pointing to Diazs pace and cardio that is a lot since they meet up standing for Pettis that is a good point and around the floor. But, I believe Pettis will receive his hand increased by choice and is marginally better.
Select: Anthony Pettis (-125)
