Big fan of Nate Diaz and super pumped for his return against Anthony Pettis which could be a potential fight of year and i'm also expecting a lot better performance from Stipe against Cormier and i'm just hoping all that time away waiting for this rematch doesn't effect him. The under card also has Romero v Costa which should be fireworks while it lasts and a couple of other good highly rated fighters Derick Brunson and Rafael Assuncao in competitive fights make it 1 of the best UFC cards of the year so far
Finally, the he raked Stipe's eyes 20 times, and cheated his way to caving in Stipe's chin, people get to see their man go for revenge.
Yeah i'm hoping for a good performance from Nate but I can't see him beating Pettis with all that time away. I would have rather seen this fight closer to there peaks when the fight had a bit more heat but should still be good
Pettis doesn't like pressure I hope he wins but stylistically Nate has his number. Layoff might effect him but the Diaz brothers train hard and Pettis has had some hard fights recently so I think Nate will take it.
After DC felt the best of Stipe with 1:30 to go , DC started to put punches together and had Stipe going backwards before the poke. DC was gonna light him up either way. Stipe tends to gas a bit. Even though he beat Francis his stamina didn't look that good. DC's can sustain it for rounds with high out put. UFC has put the fight up for free on Youtube This content is protected
Stipe’s gotta fight tall, throw combos and control distance, elsewise it’s a repeat performance. Both can stop it with one good swat. This one won’t need the judges
Cool fight so far,will be interesting to see how Costa goes these last 2 rounds he's only been past the 1st round a couple of times
