*on the cage.
Some of you guys are really funny, take away the leg kicks that did no damage and Nick Diaz would have won?!?! Condit broke the UFC record on leg kicks landed. Those leg kicks are the reason why Nick could have not engaged the same way he did to BJ Penn, they are the reason why he slowed down, or could not cut the ring as effectively as he could of. Also what makes you think they did no damage? When is the last time you got kicked in the leg 75 times in 25 minutes?
Just because Nick Diaz has the mental stability of a 2 year old and throws a temper tantrum after every time things don't go his way, does not mean he took no damage and Condit ran. If you think being a professional fighter is playing to your opponents strengths, then you are wrong.
Condit is a fighter, he wants to win and be a champion, he is not a punching bag that needs to stand in front of Diaz to show the world how great Diaz is.
Gotta agree, I train stand up and one of the first things you learn is strike and move. It would not have been smart to stand and bang with Diaz. Yeah I wish somebody would have finished the fight but Condit definately won.Quote:

I was so excited once the fight hit the floor. I honestly thought it was done. Good defense by Condit
You know what would solve all these issues?
Unlimited rounds till someone taps or naps no more scores.
Thats the only way you are going to see real fighters that can keep a pace and have the mind set that they need to finish.
The more big wins come down to points the less your going to see what got mma to the point its at now with popularity.
Well said.Quote:

The problem with guys from Jackson's camp is they look at MMA as if it's a game similar to Candy Land or Hungry Hungry Hippos and not like it's a fight, then they call themselves, and I'm quoting Condit himself, "a warrior". How are you going to call yourself a warrior yet play point games in the cage? The outcome of this fight isn't what disturbed me, I'd be happy for Condit if he did his job and entertained me, a paying fan, yet he didn't. He bored me to piss and that is why Jackson's gym is bad for MMA, they don't give a shit about the fans or their enjoyment of the fight. If Griffin and Bonnar were from Jackson's Gym, and fought like Condit did last night, the UFC wouldn't of become the power house that it is today.
Condit = Gamer
Diaz = Warrior
I was hoping for Diaz to win, so we could see him submit GSP. However, Condit fought smart. Although, I was disappointed with the "running", his hit and run style worked for him. I can't say who won and who lost. I do think Nick had octagon control, aggression, and got the only takedown. Condit just did more damage, especially with the leg kicks. Good fight though. Really had me on the edge of my seat, especially when Diaz took his back. Looking forward to seeing a rematch.
