Pettis accepts Diaz's challenge, easy payday.

"I heard his interview and it just makes me laugh. I mean, the guy just got head kick knocked out by a pretty good striker, but for him to call me out it's funny to me because my striking is one of the best in the lightweight division.
I think he's trying to keep his name relevant and trying to stay in the mix, but I mean after losing like that it's - there's not much more you can do in the lightweight division. I think he's going to be moving back to welterweight and again, the comments are funny to me and if he does want to fight I'll take an easy payday."

What the hell is Pettis doing? It's like he doesnt want the LW belt

Ya if I was Pettis I would fight for the title, and save Diaz incase I lose the title fight. Diaz has nothing to lose and everything to gain from fighting Pettis. Horrible on Pettis part, and if his management was ok with this shame on them.

I think he's just saying I'm not scared and ill fight Diaz if he wants to get head kick KOd again.

It sounds like FW is a one time thing. If he loses to Aldo then he's not getting a shot at the LW belt so Diaz would make sense then. However if he wants and Aldo doesn't get an immediate rematch then a super fight with Bendo would be awesome and everyone forgets about little Diaz.

Pettis should fight Bendo first because even if he loses that he can likely still get a fight with Aldo in the promoters eyes. Didnt Aldo say he isnt going to fight Pettis anyway?

All Pettis needs to do is say he wants Bendo and he gets him next.

Rumored for 163

Aldo-Pettis has been set forever

I thought Aldo had pulled out.

I don't think Aldo was in love with the fight but he didn't turn it down.
