    I can bet if Nick didnt have to deal with all the politics and BS of MMA just like people hate to deal with stuff at their own jobs it would be a much different story ,and as for condit he is without a doubt great fighter but Im sorry even anderson silva will have some epicly boring fights just to win by points and he definetly got called out for it ,when alot of people know you can do much better than "circle away" which sorry I didnt know was turning completely around and not even face your opponent , than yeah your gonna get called for it but if your a randy couture fighter we all know thats your gameplan and your great at it just like when Chael took down anderson sure he would at times hold him down but thats his game so no one really ragged him.

    tldr; condit is a much better fighter than what he showed and pulled a silva to win by points

    He might not know what he wants to do with all the extra free time if he isnt training

    if you call turning your back and running "fighting" then so be it, but i wont buy a condit headline fight ever, ilegal streams for that dude, and i'll pay to watch Nick any day, as long as someone will "fight" him and not run, but of course, dudes are just streight scared to " fight " nick, but they can win point decisions all day, and water down mma

    Silva only has 2 wins in the UFC by decision, he finishes fights. I think Anderson is more about not taking damage and counter striking, rather than trying to win by decision

    I meant more in the way that Silva in those 2 fights by decision could have easily done much more but pretty much decided to win by points when we all know he could have done more, just as condit could have fought a little more like when he fought hardy KO him while being hit .Condit had the skill to at least be a little more engaging and show off more but he chose to eek out the decision

    If you want to fight for honor or whatever, okay, but most fighters are doing it for a career and they want to win, and I want to see guys fighting to their strengths. Jorge Gurgel has this ridiculous idea that he's gonna stand and brawl to be "exciting". I don't respect that attitude of purposefully fighting dumb because you think getting hit proves you're a man.

    I personally look up to the guys who takes the least punishment. That to me is what combat sports are all about. Who can take the least damage and outsmart their opponent? Who has the wider skillset and is able to implement their gameplan better? That's the guy who blows my mind and makes me go "Damn, I could never do that."

    Guys like Nick who are happy to brawl are fun and I love that they exist, but I'll never fault a more skilled fighter for using better strategy to out think those guys and beat them.

    Nick had 25 mins. To adjust to what Condit was doing an didn't. He could of taken Condit to the ground when he realized he had a beat on him. Sorry but there's more to being a complete fighter than punching someone with your fists. I didn't enjoy the fight all that much...it was kinda boring. I don't like Greg Jackson or his boring strategies. In the end if you don't want boring fights then the fighters need to be more well rounded. There are other ways to win a fight besides punching in the face. Adjust an evolve or get out of the way....
