Botter: "UFC Working On Pettis/Diaz Card April 22nd, 1 Day Before UFC 197".

[Arkridge]

It would be cool to have another Fight Night or Fight Pass card the day before a big PPV. I liked that with UFC 194 in December.

In b4 "Nate fails a drug test fighting 2 days after 4/20"

UFC trying to give Pettis a sure win fight. Shame on them

Pettis looked like shit against Eddie Alvarez, I wouldn't give him this fight so easily.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

That was probably before they lost a PPV and had to add another before 200

 

[The real JG]

Nate will get his front leg destroyed.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

Pettis via either head kick or body kick KO

If they don't make this a main event they should make it a feature fight on 197.

Jones/Cormier, MM/Cejudo and Pettis/Diaz is a damn good 3 fight lineup on a PPV.

 

[Shocktagon]

Great fight. Hope it happens.

You make a solid point about 4/20.

 

[Jar of Flies]

April is looking like a great month for fights.

Pettis vs Diaz is a PPV caliber fight. Kind of strange to book this the day before a big event on the cable show.

 

[Toco]

oh, sunday?

fuck this shit, i hope someone gets a minor injury

 

[deviake]

I really hope this happens. Pettis has trouble with pressure, and pressure is how Diaz rolls, albeit not so much in wrestling, but still.

 

[Sparkie]

hope it happens
should be fireworks

I doubt it would add any buys to 197 but would do great ratings for FS1. Plus it would be a five rounder.

 

[edirp]

Would love to see Nate Diaz taunt and win.

 

[FoghornLeghorn]

A Diaz fight 2 days after 4/20.

Glorious.

 

[Rebel_LioN]

Shaking my fucking head. I'm going to Coachella that weekend and they decide put on 2 cards?

What's more important?

No way Nate holds him against the cage and takes him down all fight like Eddie/RDA.

Just watch the replay on fight pass or something.

You can't really do that for coachella.

 

[ThinkBig500]

Diaz and Rosenthal in the octagon together right after 4/20...will smell kind of funny!
