Anthony Pettis doesn’t see how Nate Diaz can get the upper hand on him.<\/p>\n

A highly anticipated welterweight clash will come to fruition this Saturday night (Aug. 17). Pettis vs. Diaz will be the co-main event of UFC 241. “Showtime” is looking to capitalize off his second-round knockout win<\/a> over Stephen Thompson, while Diaz hopes to prove he’s still a viable threat to the UFC’s elite.<\/p>\n

During an interview with the UFC<\/a>, Pettis said that he feels Diaz is out of his element at 170 pounds.<\/p>\n

“Man, Nate Diaz is not a real welterweight,” Pettis said. “I think the fans forget he’s not won at welterweight. The guys he fought at welterweight, MacDonald, the other Korean guy that whooped his ass [Dong Hyun Kim]. He’s not a real welterweight. His only win is against McGregor. McGregor’s not a real welterweight. I beat ‘Wonderboy.’ I’m not even worried about this fight, honestly and I’m not being cocky. I just have so much confidence coming into this fight and I train my ass off, so that’s where this confidence is coming from.”<\/p>\n

Anthony Pettis went on to question where Diaz has the advantage over him.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if it’s an advantage fighting Nate Diaz. Nate Diaz is a fighter’s fighter. He likes to bleed, he comes forward. I’m expecting a dog fight, but I’m a little more intelligent than him. I have more tools in my toolbox and I don’t see where he gets it done. Where’s he gonna beat me at?”<\/p>\n

The main card for UFC 241 will air live on pay-per-view exclusively through ESPN+. If you can’t track down how to catch the action, head over here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
