Nick landed more strikes to the body and head. The difference was in the leg kicks, Nick is southpaw and Condit is a righty it was easy to land those front leg leg kicks problem is they don't carry the same weight as a back leg leg kick as evidenced by Nick being unfazed by them and continuing to move forward for all 5 rounds. The only time Condit did use his back leg he was contacting with the bottom of his foot which is like slapping somebody on the shoulder but yet those are calculated as kicks. If it was a game of tag then he won. I had Carlos in the 4th every other round I had for Diaz. Diaz landed more significant strikes.
Condit said in the press conference that his punches didnt have much power and werent an issue. obviously its not an aldo kick but 68 legs kicks even with some power over 5 rounds will mess you up. and to say nick was unfazed by them just because he kept moving forward doesnt mean anything. cyborg kicked him even harder and nick still moved forward, but he switched stances like he did last night too. if it wasnt an issue nick would have been able to execute better. also some of the most powerful kicks are with the bottom of the foot so not sure what your implying. condit landed the back kick a couple times. also fight metric has it as significant 151 strikes for condit.
