Nick Diaz vs Georges St. Pierre title fight re-booked for Super Bowl weekend, Carlos Condit agrees to wait

Blow your chance at a title shot by no-showing a pair of press conferences? Check. Find yourself back on the card in a potentially more dangerous fight? Check. Kick absolute ass to the point you're reinserted into the title shot you initially blew? Mate.
That's the rare feat Nick Diaz managed to pull off last night (Oct. 29, 2011) at UFC 137 in Las Vegas. He blew past B.J. Penn, beating the Hawaiian so badly he retired immediately after the bout, and was put back in the front of the 170-pound line for his efforts.
That means it's Nick Diaz vs. Georges St. Pierre for the welterweight title all over again, as announced by UFC President Dana White at the post-fight press conference. The fight is tentatively scheduled for to take place on the Super Bowl weekend fight card.
Sorry, Carlos Condit, this match-up is just a bit more important than yours.
"The Natural Born Killer," ever the class act, has apparently agreed to wait and will likely also get a spot on the event against whoever is determined to be "next in line," as White put it.
Who thinks this match-up looks even better now that Diaz has a high profile UFC victory under his belt and had the chance to call the champion out in the center of the Octagon?

They would change it to Canada for GSP before they would change it to somewhere for Sonnen
Who the hell is Sonnen? Shit only makes sense to have this fight in Canada.
sigs are gay
Give GSP another home advantage? That's lame.

i was thinking the same thing.

Another chance at GSP already for Kos?
Extremely unlikely
ANS: "Since gaining back mount is the most dominating position you can achieve it holds alot of weight.....Also taking down Fitch seems to be very difficult and holds alot of weight."
Me: "I agree it's an important position, but for 10 seconds with nothing coming from it but a reversal? I guess you would have to give Fitch major points for reversing the most dominant position from such an excellent BJJ fighter!....And I don’t think it makes much sense to add bonus points for taking someone down, just because he has good TD defense, as you can see by my sarcastic point about reversing back position against BJ. Very silly point by you and not very objective at all."
ANS:.............nada........speechless! LOL

it means
that it follows typical storylines that ‘pro wrestling’ follows. Dana is creating storylines but at the same time trying to keep his ‘core’ audience satisfied with tidbits about how just 2 days ago Condit was still #1.
you talk like diaz wasnt the #1 contender a month ago
RESTORE THE ROAR 2011 DETROIT LIONS <----- best D-line in football
I don’t mind how this has ended up but I firmly believe Dana pulled GSP from 137 in order to fight on Superbowl weekend. I’m sure there are injuries but I also think Dana likes to shuffle fights around in order to attempt to max out PPV buys. The problem is the guy paying top dollar for a card that he doesn’t get in the end. This will eventually catch up to Dana – I personally won’t buy tickets until the week of
You've been Dana'd
We own the WW division, EH

Condit would beat diaz, he wouldnt gas like penn, what a fucking punk move by dana, fucking pathetic.
Condit's biggest win is not as good as Diaz's biggest win.
Diaz is also 11-0 in his last 11 fights. Condit’s on like a four fight winning streak.

Doesn't make sense to deal with "what if" scenarios when we clearly have facts at our disposal.
He KNOCKED OUT Paul Daley, the same guy that took Koscheck to a decision before Kos got his title shot and former UFC Champ Frank Shamrock. Just because you think his win list is full of “cans,” doesn’t mean it is. You might just be a “UFC Fan” that doesn’t like non-UFC mma.

So whats your point ??????????
What if its a 5 round fight//Who u got ?????
If you mean wrestlefucked him
Then yes KOS is great at that. What was impressive about the Diaz fight is that he fought Daley at his own game and still knocked him the fuck out. He didn’t have to hold him for 15 minutes. Knocked him out in 5 instead. That is impressive

No one's too broken up about Condit losing his shot I guess
but I suppose this was how it going to be anyway before Diaz skipped the press conferences
I hope Condit doesn’t lose his next fight and then lose his title shot. dude deserves his time. He should’ve been the one to retire BJ. He should’ve then been the one to challenge GSP when Diaz messed up. Now he’s risking going to the back of the line with a loss.

Easy win for GSP against Diaz
GSP will beat Diaz, there’s no way Diaz is going to be able to unleash into a brawl with GSP because as Diaz begins swinging GSP will simply take him down time and time again….also having said that Diaz dominated a much smaller BJ Penn, something people conveniently want to ignore, BJ isn’t a welterweight, he’s basically a lightweight fighting at welterweight and so the size difference just totally works against him, yet even with the size difference just look at what he did to Diaz’ face……GSP will pick at all the holes of Diaz’ game and you could see them all laid bare against BJ tonight.
Lets see
BJ smashed Hughes and took the NUMBER 2 WELTERWEIGHT in the world to a draw. thats a pretty successful welterweight comeback

beating matt hughes
isn’t really hard these days, and hughes isn’t the biggest of welterweights, and yes the draw with fitch was a good result. i’m not saying BJ is a bad ww, but he just isn’t one, he’s a lw fighter and that’s where he belongs, even against fitch you saw the major size difference, and that greatly played into the hands of Diaz, yet even with the size difference BJ took Diaz down and gave him a bloody face by the end of the fight, now if BJ could do that, then what can GSP do? the current best ww in the mma world, and #2 p4p fighter in the world? just look at his resume and the number of fighters he’s beat.
I guarantee BJ busted up Nick more than Georges Safe Pierre will do

you make it sound like Diaz swings wildly
he’s gonna gameplan for GSP’s wrestling with guys like Jake Shields, Melendez, David Terrell, maybe Chael Sonnen who helped Shields and Diaz showe improved takedown defense today
if GSP tries to lay on Diaz for 5 rounds Diaz could catch him in a sub eventually but the only way GSP wins is by laying on top for 5 rounds in a snoozefest
by 49erEmpire on Oct 30, 2011 2:19 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Diaz' game plan for GSP's wrestling
yeah, and that’s the same team that trained shields for GSP and how’d that work out for Shields, not too good, it was a pretty boring comfortable win for GSP at the end.
GSP has also greatly improved his stand up skills too, just ask koscheck and shields about that, he stood with both of them and gave it good, and that right there is the difference between GSP and Diaz, GSP is an all round fighter, he won’t have to lay on Diaz for 5 rounds, he can mix it up, stand with Diaz, take Diaz down etc just like he did with his total annihilation of Jon Fitch….Diaz’ game meanwhile completely relies on keeping it standing and turning into a brawl. For goodness sakes even BJ was able to take Diaz down in round 1 and gave him some ground and pound, now if BJ could take Diaz down you telling me GSP who has the best takedown % in the UFC won’t be able to?
it didn’t work for Shields because GSP wanted no part of Shields BJJ so he didn’t even go for a takedown and kept it standing
Diaz standup is way better than Shields and Koscheck and those guys aren’t standup fighters to begin with
Diaz also has excellent BJJ whereas Fitch does not

What you talkin bout Fitch has excellent BJJ
I don't know, Marge. Trying is the first step towards failure.

Shields choked Fitch out in a BJJ tourney and Diaz BJJ is as good as Shields if not better
by 49erEmpire on Oct 30, 2011 2:46 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Fitch's BJJ is mainly used to neutralise that of his opponent's
He’s a very good defensive and positional grappler. Diaz uses his BJJ completely differently, he’s very aggressive and constantly attacks off of his back looking for submissions from all angles. Both are very good on the ground in their own right.

Let me tell you something
Sense you want to use the old size difference crap check out this here list of facts
1)A much smaller BJ Penn also beat GSP in the 1st fight to hell with what the judges said go watch it your self if you don’t believe me
2)Nick’s face will get slight bruses and all that because hes not afraid to get hit unlike George’s
3)Holes in Diaz’s game?Whats this nonsense you speak of maybe your another one who obviously doesn’t realize how many holes are in GSP’s game and Diaz will capitalize
And your NEW welterweight champion of the world….Nick Diiiiaz!!!
GSP is a dead man

Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat

People underestimate Diaz
GSP is going to have a hell of a time passing Diaz guard. If BJ couldnt do it no way GSP does. I was SO impressed with Diaz open guard, scrambles, and defensive flow. Will GSP take him down? Yeah i think he will, BUT GSP wont want any part of Diaz JJ. And Diaz standup will be better. Im not saying he will win im just saying he will make it a fight and it will be a good one.
True
Everything you said is true but trust me GSP is only capable of winning one way in this one decision or cut (which would be extremely gay)
Diaz on the other hand has a few ways to finish this one
Can’t wait!
Was surprised at how bad diaz looked in the first round
I can’t believe at how gassed bj was in the second, and how dumb he was to just stand in front of the cage like that..move the F out of the way…move to center…jesus. Gsp is going to pound diazs face into a pulp, if diaz trys fighting gsp with his hands down like that he’ll be eating jabs and elbows all night long, it’ll be up and down, he won’t know whats coming. Gsp will either decision nick or ref stoppage by cut or less likely tko, ground and pound. I’ll be very surprised it nick wins.
Ohh yeah!?
Well time to get your shocked face ready
WAR DIAZ!!!
No chance for GSP
If Diaz is 100% with all the proper training as well as GSP this will be great but Diaz will overwhelm Gsp im not here to argue but to prove a point
Understand something
People Diaz was only 60% for that PENN fight the man fought Penn with 3 injuries including the same one GSP pulled out with YEAH i know sounds scary seeing how he still bewildered BJ PENN
