Well i guess MMA just isn't for me anymore. I feel it has gone from a display of strong efficient combat abilities to point sparring al la Karate...

You act like your opinion is held in such high regard in this forum. Youre disappointed that people in this thread have a different opinion than you? Its not like we're a select few that believe Diaz won at least 3 rounds (some people more). Its pretty divided man. I'm sure you're right though, guys like Pat Militech, Duke Roufus, and Mark Munoz are just HUGE Diaz fans that they're just blinded. Yeah that's it.

Condit can't have it both ways: he is either a killer, or he's a smart guy. He may have earned his moniker as the Natural Born Killer, but he chose to be the smart guy in the stiffest test to his killer reputation to date. After that fight it was clear that he did not care about cementing his legacy as the world's most badass fighter nearly as much as he cared about being the WW champion. Forgive us fans if we're a little upset that the smart guy showed up.
Why you mad then?
I think Condit displayed efficient combat abilities. You can't blame a guy for not being able to KO Diaz. Daley hits harder and couldn't do it. Don't give up on MMA off one fight. LOL.
LOL. My opinion is one opinion. I'm disappointed in the whining. Few people have actually put together rational arguments. Most people are just saying Condit ran while disregarding that he controlled the fight and landed more and nullified Nick's whole style. I consider this forum to be a little smarter than the average MMA fan so I'm surprised that I'm seeing more emotional responses to what people don't LIKE vs strong analysis for what actually happened. That's all.
But it's not like I'm the Jesus of MMA analysis. Maybe disappointed is the wrong word. Maybe I should say surprised. But there is a lotta cry baby going on though. We can disagree and still be friends though.

If you go around calling yourself the Natural Born Killer, you should want to put that reputation on the line and go for broke. Otherwise get a new nickname. Nick Diaz came into this fight looking to find out if he really was as much of a badass as he thought he was. The same cannot be said for Condit.
Yes but I dont think Daley was trying to "out point" him either. I just don't want to see that. To me that is point sparring Karate. Could you imagine going to a Jiu Jitsu tourny and have the game plan of taking someone down then stalling until you win because you are afraid the other guy may sub you? No way I'm going for the sub every time and if i don't get it then at least i went out there and busted my ass you know? (Not that Lyoto Machida/Thompson shit where they knock guys out because that shit is legit)
