Pass. Looks like its not gonna happen anyways
Not really excited. I'm suprised UFC is willing to take a risk an invest in another event for an underwhelming fight. But I'm sure they'll turn on the hype machine. It's kind of unfair to Condit that he has to do this based on fans griping.
But, who knows. Condit might feel more confident and throw more. Diaz may adjust his strategy.
I remember when Couture OWNED Liddell in the first fight. Chuck's coach realized that all Chuck had to do was back up and turn off to the side and throw. And boom, rematch KO. Nick's biggest mistake was being linear. If he can change that, he might be able to force Condit into the slugfest he (and fans) wants. We'll see. I hope we don't get into a Frankie Edgar situation though. Both guys get injured and delay it forever.
i doubt it will happen even though thats whats being reported
This might be your dumbest statement to date, sorry. Where do you think all that money in Condits bank account came from? But I forgot you didn't pay for the fight.Quote:

BTW dog, learn how to disagree with people in a mature way. All I do on here is try to be respectful. Stop being such a negative person, dude.
I like the idea of a rematch. It was to close to call and Nick Diaz deserves it. If it was so close his corner was calling it in his favor and other fighters are stepping up and saying he won then there 'should' be a rematch. Also, While I like Condit's striking and I'm going through his fights to recap what I missed.
I just don't like how he sold and hyped the fight. How difficult would it be to say 'You know, I'm going to go in there and fight a smart fight, exploit his weaknesses and attempt to capitalize on them." I'd have no issue with him stating that and it wouldn't exactly be giving away his game plan but dead panning that you're a bad ass and he better be ready for punishment, blah, blah, blah then execute a game plan that goes against what you said your about and you're obviously not 100% comfortable with it in the ring with, expect backlash buddy.
But this is again, just my humble opinion.

As the world turns, so does the world of mixed martial arts.
Just as quickly as the saga twisted from no rematch between Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz to the rematch being agreed to, the plot thickens and the rematch is once again off the table.
Condit’s manager, Malki Kawa of First Round Management, on Tuesday told MMAWeekly.com that he and Condit’s camp didn’t think a rematch with Diaz following UFC 143 was the right move for Condit, who captured the interim UFC welterweight championship on Saturday night.
A few hours later, UFC president Dana White was tweeting about said rematch being offered to Condit and Condit accepting.
The light of Wednesday dawns an all-new scenario, however, as it appears that, from Diaz’s side of the story anyway, the rematch is not going to happen.
Diaz’s manager and trainer, Cesar Gracie, told MMAWeekly.com point blank on Wednesday, “There is not going to be a rematch.”
He would not elaborate on the subject, but flatly denied that the two are set to fight again any time soon. MMAJunkie.com first reported word from Gracie that there would not be a rematch.
What that means is purely speculation at this point, as no one appears to have a clear answer, other than Gracie saying the rematch is off, countering what seemed to apparent Tuesday night.
“All I know for sure is that we’re meeting with Dana on Friday,” Kawa told MMAWeekly.com on Wednesday when asked about the status of the fight.
So, for now at least, it appears the rematch is once again off. Where that leaves Condit, hopefully we’ll know following his meeting with White on Friday. There are clearly options on the table.
Aside from the rematch, he could opt to wait for Georges St-Pierre to return from injury, which is targeted for October or November. That appeared to be the initial preference of Condit and his camp. Or he could opt to take another fight in the meantime, possibly against a fighter like Josh Koscheck or, should he win next week, Jake Ellenberger.
But for now, that is all conjecture until Condit meets “with the powers that be.”
I just read that Diaz may have tested positive for his favorite pre fight "supplement" if you are pickin up what I am puttin down....
Fuckin bullshit.
No I think it was Roy Nelson on PEDSQuote:
