Carlos Condit takes a controversial decision over Nick Diaz in the main event of UFC 143 last night (Sat., Feb. 4, 2012) at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Condit worked a smart game plan, making Diaz chase him around the cage for five rounds and 25 minutes while peppering with shots before jumping back out of range. It was highly effective and frustrated the Stockton slugger, who never did settle in and get comfortable. Still, Diaz felt he did enough to win with his aggressive, stalking approach and was so upset at the outcome he announced his retirement from MMA in the post-fight interview. We'll wait and see if he sticks with it.

Is that Carlos Condit....
or Kalib Starnes? Never seen someone run so much in a fight!
Looking forward to seeing Bisping get smashed.
It was a good strategy using lateral movement.
Look what happened to Penn for backing up and standing against the cage

exactly
bones jones will be the champ for a VERY long time
damn that was fun watching tito choke out bader
I know right? He was supposed to fight Nick Diaz at his own style.
Why the hell would he have a game plan, especially one that won him the fight.
Now, count up your crimes!
Also, I wish Nick Diaz great luck in his new profession of......anything but MMA because Carlos Condit retired him.
I don't call it running....
I call it effective striking, getting outside the pocket, resetting, then doing more effective striking.
According to Diaz’s cut up face, Carlos chose the right gameplan and executed it perfectly.

Please. Casual MMA fans wouldn't even watch this fight
The “tactics” showed how , even tho the two fighters were pretty evenly matched physically, Condit was afraid to engage. I can’t tell you how many times Carlos looked ready to fight, Nick takes a step forward, then Carlos has to fucking reset. Even before a punch was thrown
This proved to me that Carlos was afraid.
Boozer sucks.

If he was afraid he wouldn't have taken the fight.
And he won.

In all serious the whole thing is just so fucking stupid.
Both sides of the arguments refuse to see the other side and it all ends up in a big joke. No one can deny it was close.

If Diaz thinks he won the fight by simply always walking forward, then by that logic Roy Nelson would be the undefeated and undisputed best fighter of al time....

I think Diaz may be serious
If he doesn’t get a rematch I think he retires remember he was going to go into boxing before Dana offered him a big money fight with GSP

haha baby kicks that was awesome. diaz is and always will be my favorite welterweight. and i was fooled when carlos said its going to be a dog fight i had forgot he trained under greg jackson. that fight disappointed me and it was on carlos behalf. he should have pushed the pace and then maybe i wouldnt feel like diaz got screwed but diaz did everything he needed to do to win. and after hearing the way rashad was talking on that post fight show i hope jones kills him.
I think the fight should of been stopped and called a TKO on Diaz's behalf after he bitch slapped Carlos
I like bacon...Steelers fo life!!!!
#1 Quinton Rampage the Dragon Slayer Jackson fan for LIFE..FTW!!! Nick Diaz would mop the floor with GSP and the fight with Sheilds confirms it!!!

that fight sucked anyway…
Nick was the only one pressing the action. I’m over this decision squeaking.
Yeah so you get a W next to your name but the video of you running the whole time will always be there. Dude’s need to dominate a bit more to win a round.

diaz just wanted a brawl.
he was definitely schooled tonight. he knew coming in that he was against a MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST
Its turbo time!
He's just mad that he got exposed and everyone knows what to do to beat him.

everyone already knew what to do to beat him, just hump him but now they know they can run away and win
But Carlos isn't much of a wrestler so he's not gonna do that.
Last time i checked, Diaz was the one to shoot.

Carlos fought not to lose. No part of him fought to decisively win.
I scored it 3to 2 Condit but he def. Lost a fan.

His job is to win...he doesn't have to please you, honestly yall should just watch tank Abbot's greatest hits
because strategy and smart fighting aren’t part of your requirements

I AM NOT A FAN OF NICK AT ALL!!!
I came in this fight cheering for Carlos and I thought it was 2-2 going into the last round. Gave the last round to Carlos till the takedown then I didnt know where to go with it but the 2 rounds I gave to Carlos (3-4) I was iffy about where 1 and 2 I was 100% sure it was nick so therefore I expected Diaz to win the decision but I was hoping that Carlos pulled it off.
Then comes the scoring and when they said 49-46 I thought for sure Nick won and my friends already started fight fiving each other (all nick fans) so when they said Carlos I was in shock
So here is my honest opinion. DIAZ WAS ROBBED. I could have accepted a Carlos win with score 48-47 but that 49-46 score made it clear in my eyes Diaz was robbed. WHICH IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT! thats my 2 cents :)
Diaz didn't land anything solid in the first round while condit did, he did OK in the second lost 3 and 4
and was losing the 5th until that TD and he did nothing on the ground…you are saying he was “robbed” because he lost a Unanimous decison instead of a split one, he would have lost either way and he only clearly won one round sometimes i wonder what kind of criteria some people use
"i don't think people change, change requires re-wiring and thats a lot to go through, i think they adjust and learn a better way of dealing with themselves and others ... they don't really change, they do selfless things to conform to an extent to the expectations of the ones they want in their lives ..." -Dis Vincent

I remember Rogan saying they both landed the same punches in Rd1
then he said they throw the same punches 71 diaz 70 carlos. So if its a tie then you have to give it to the aggressor I would think and thats why I gave it to Diaz
rogan was wrong, watch the round again,Condit out struck him with both kicks and punches
Rogan is not the ultimate voice of MMA

I'm the worlds biggest Diaz fan, but he lost for sure.
Now, count up your crimes!
Also, I wish Nick Diaz great luck in his new profession of......anything but MMA because Carlos Condit retired him.
if your truly a Diaz fan and you thought he lost
Then I guess im gonna have to look at that fight one more time because I must have missed something between the Carlos running and the Diaz chasing and throwing punches
Well you must have missed the part where my boy got kicked in the leg for 25 minutes.
Now, count up your crimes!
Also, I wish Nick Diaz great luck in his new profession of......anything but MMA because Carlos Condit retired him.
He landed punches, knees and some elbows. More than what diaz did besides walk forward and get hit.
Now, count up your crimes!
Also, I wish Nick Diaz great luck in his new profession of......anything but MMA because Carlos Condit retired him.
those spinning back shits only landed once, he landed two head kciks and a few punches. the rest were leg kicks. if i rememeber condit was the one whose head was being blasted and then he would run
Blasted my ass, he got hit with 2 or 3 punches at the most each time he got trapped, big fucking deal.
Diaz only does damage when he lands a lot of punches at once, not 4 or 5 hear and there.
Now, count up your crimes!
Also, I wish Nick Diaz great luck in his new profession of......anything but MMA because Carlos Condit retired him.
sorry dude but carlos didnt land more than diaz. if diaz lost that fight for being a fighter and not a runner then im glad he lost he pushed the pace of that fight and controlled it. i will say he did lose the 3rd and 4th round. hey were you the judge that scroed it 49-46 for condt???
no I'm the guy laughing at you for raging.

ok thats fine since that belt doesnt matter, right? thats what you said. but fedor subed mir and knocked out silva all in one fight
LMFAO
This conversation took a horrible turn. Can we keep our fantasies to ourself and get back to the fight lmfao
What you see landed I saw missing
I saw carlos twice land a great kick to the head but other then that he didnt do any damage.
if you pay attention to Diaz marks they all look like scratches which dont happen when you fully connect.
We all know Diaz is quick to bleed and he didnt bleed which further confirms nothing landed flush
His face was brushed as fuck.
Now, count up your crimes!
Also, I wish Nick Diaz great luck in his new profession of......anything but MMA because Carlos Condit retired him.
I'd have to see the landed strikes but I find it hard to believe.

you are still here?? damn you got a crush sorry man im married and im expecting to be a father in july i dont have time for someone on the side, we can be friends though
if your gonna base you decision off landed strikes
then your going to be majorly disappointed cause I have no doubt diaz out struck him by far
So I guess when the official numbers come out and I am right then you will have no leg to stand on and will admitt that Diaz was robbed?
i agree, i actually paid attention and diaz outstruck condit. most of condits shit didnt land and everytime condit threw something rogan was all over it like everything landded when it clearly didnt diaz avoided all that flashy shit
I was at the bar
After the first round it got loud and I couldnt hear anything the announcers said so maybe thats why people think Carlos won cause Rogan was jocking and influenced people listening
Ive seen it happen before
i’ll always be a diaz fan but after this fight i dont know if i could call myself a fan of carlos anymore he didnt fight he ran. it was sad to see greg jackson poison another warrior
Im not a fan of Carlos
I just cheer against Diaz in all his fights cause he is a POS
I love watching the guy fight I think he is amazing but cant stand his attitude
In my eyes
Carlos fought scared.Scared of losing.Watching Diaz eat everything Condit threw at him and asking for more.Trying to get him to fight him.You can call that a gameplan,for the ultimate pilllow fighting championship….
Look at Dana’s face after the fight,he was not happy.That shit ain’t gonna fly on Fox.
Dogfight my ass…..Run Carlos, run…..
MMA > street fighting..sorry.

You have to kidding right? If there was no time limit like in MMA, then Diaz would have choked Condit out. Plus in the street nothing is illegal. That means Zero rules. Think about that for a minute.

Condit said before the fight that Nick’s style makes him take a lot of punishment during fights, but that Nick overcomes it by being tough. Condit said he would inflict too much damage for Nick to be able to handle. That did not happen. Truth is, Nick walked right past anything Condit threw at him the entire fight. I can see why Nick would be disappointed on this loss. Condit had a better game plan that allowed him to out point Nick. So he won the fight but in no way did he do what he said he was going to do before the fight. Credit to both fighters though, it went the distance.
Ursus arctos californicus – California golden bear
Who Cares?
Diaz gets some hype, and now he is the new world champion! He is everything a champion is not! Worthless in my book!
Condit and GSP deserve to fight each other.
They both fight safe and will eventually fight each other to a boring decision.
Boozer sucks.
I think GSP would have fought Nick the same way Condit did. The same way he fought Kosh. Stick and move, play it safe and win the fight. Smart for his career. Boring for the fans.

forget what we think..
Dana White’s tone and answers say it all. He wasn’t hyped that Carlos won. He didn’t even defend stand up for him. It was a look of sheer disappointment. He is now crapping a brick figuring out how to sell a fight with a fighter whom many people now do not want to ever watch fight again. He has two champions(including Frankie Edgar) whom he can’t market and the fans don’t want to watch
I disagree about Frankie
Edgar is marketable as hell.
Boozer sucks.
by RogersPark Kris on Feb 5, 2012 2:49 AM EST up reply actions
I completely agree
Except for the Frankie Maynard war was epic. Frankie has lots of fans. Carlos sure didn’t make very many tonight.
Minowaman forever
Does it matter?
Maybe this should be the WWE then? That way Dana could control who wins!
condit won, whats done is done
but as a boss, he knows he lost a lot of future money. I mean think about it, what PPV would have sold more? HE was hoping for a fight that would have been as big as sonen – silva 2, and it didn’t pan out. Now he has to figure out how to market a low interest card
Agreed but,
This sport should be about the better fighter, not the better promoter. Bottom line, win fights! Thats what GSP does!
agreed with both, but...
think about your comment BM. If this were true, Tim Sylvia would still be in the UFC. He fought with a “Smart” game plan of fighting not to lose, and the minute he lost, he was gone. Condit is not an exciting fighter. You have to have the crowd somewhat on your side. People at the place I was at were cheering. They absolutely thought the fight was horrible, but were glad diaz just lost. Most I was tlaking to would never watch Condit fight again because he is a waste of their money
Disagreee!
Elenberger! Kids got heavy hands! Could pose a problem.
Who Wins
I care more about who is a better fighter than who can sell a f*ckin ticket! Thats what this sport is all about, not some show!
anyone who says he was running knows nothing about mma
What would you do if you’re Carlos condit and you know that Diaz excels when he has his opponent backed up against the fence? Stand there and get peppered with punches like everyone does? No you get a good game plan and you avoid that which condit did perfectly.

now we aren't pro's
but when some of us have been following and training for this sport for a long time call it running, the AP has referenced it as running and , well, he did not deny that he was running… I’m just saying, if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat…
lol
Here’s how it went down.
Diaz gets in a fighting stance.
Condit gets in a fighting stance.
Diaz takes a step toward Condit, Condit retreats until he’s close to the wall, then he fucking runs to get back towards the middle.
Repeat.
Boozer sucks.

How about show that you can out strike the striker? I think Condit fought smart. He did the only thing he could have done to have a chance of winning this fight. I can also see how people are generally pissed because everyone wanted to see more from Condit. He said Nick was not gonna be able to take his punishment. Nick did and never stopped coming forward.

SCOREBOARD
CONDIT
I’ve never seen so many whining babies cry and complain like these Diaz fans. wow.
It was a close fight- I felt like the judges were going to give it to Diaz though since GSP/Diaz was the money fight.
