Rooting for Pettis.[/quote'] Not really rooting for either guy, but this kind of has a nostalgic fight like Hendo vs Shogun did, this is an amazing fight that was supposed to happen in the WEC and would have if the UFC didn't merge it, now we may never see it. But they are still young and just starting to scratch their primes. I guess if Diaz is waiting for a title shot I don't think he's exactly earned, then if Cerrone beats Guillard make Cerrone vs Pettis for the next contender. I give Pettis the slight edge I guess, it's close, very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the UFC will definitely make this fight happen, it may not be soon but I'm sure we will see this fight especially since Cerrone is calling him out and talking some trash. Yeah I think that would be ideal, or maybe have the winner of Cerrone vs Pettis fight Diaz for the title shot. It's a very close fight IMO. They are both great on the feet and on the ground, it'll come down to who ever performs better that night. Should be a real interesting and entertaining fight though.

That being said he had a miserably loss to Guida and a split decision against Jeremy he doesn't exactly deserve to be at the top of the title picture talk, but I really don't think Nate does either, but I do Believe Nate's probably the best Lightweight in the world, top 3 easily so I won't bicker about that.

StocktonStrangler420 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 These guys bring similar skillsets to the table. Good strikers with solid ground games/good guards and above average wrestling. I would probably favor Cerrone but I think it's a pick em fight.

You think, I think Pettis dominated Ben because of the kick? No...*******, just because everyone else does, doesn't mean I do. It was 2 rounds to 2 rounds going into the 5th and the Kick sealed the decision. I'm aware. Someone was saying his weakness may be guys with great top control and takedowns and I argued that he was able to defend some of Ben's takedowns, get takedowns of his own on Ben and threaten him very much with his grappling, that he knocked Castillo's head off and I believe choked out Roller, that he arguably outgrappled Guida and should of won the decision.

You seem a little hostel toward me did I say something offensive? If I seemed hostile, it's probably because of everything going on in life right now I didn't mean to. I respectfully disagree is all. Pettis will lose to fighters who are better than him, he has no blatant holes to where he can be exploited while still seeming more skilled, no. He has an amazing track record against great wrestlers and takedown artists, kicking Castillo's head off, triangling Shane Roller, defending and taking Ben down himself, out grappling Ben, outgrappling Guida. The general consensus is that Guida wouldn't even be able to controversially grind out a decision like he did before. I just don't see it, how that's his weakness, I think a guy like Eddie Alvarez would be a harder fight for him than a rematch with Guida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
