The main event of the UFC 143: "Diaz vs. Condit" pay-per-view, which took place last night (Sat., Feb. 4, 2012) at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, featured a former Strikeforce welterweight champion taking on a former WEC welterweight champion for the interim UFC welterweight championship.
Nick Diaz came in with all the hype in the world, the favorite to move right along to a fight against Georges St. Pierre (the actual 170-pound king) later this year. But Carlos Condit has been pushing himself as the man to spoil the party. So did he?
Indeed he did, as he worked one of the smartest game plans of his career en route to a five-round, 25-minute unanimous decision win to earn the title and a promise to meet St. Pierre later this year to unify the belts.
When asked afterwards, Condit thanked his camp for preparing him to win this fight. He also tipped his hat to his opponent, Diaz, who worked his ass off and was shocked when the decision was announced. I'm sure many fans are feeling the same.
This one is going to be debated for a long time.
Condit opened with a leg kick and a circle to the outside while Diaz pushed ahead like he usually does. It was clear from the outset that Carlos was averse to ever letting Nick get him up against the cage in an exchange, though Diaz was able to walk him down plenty.
Considering the cardiovascular conditioning of both fighters, hopping on the bicycle early wouldn't be detrimental in a five-round fight.
It wasn't long, however, until Diaz started putting his hands down and talking trash in an attempt to lure Condit into the war he came in hoping for. It didn't work, though, and Condit stayed true to his game plan.
Boy, what a close opening round.
The second round saw more of the same. Diaz pushing forward, Condit firing off kicks. In fact, "The Natural Born Killer" was circling out and looking to land spinning back fists. His varying offense wasn't having the intended effect, however, and Diaz just kept coming.
Like he always does.
Condit's game plan for the purpose of his opponent and how he operates was solid in the early going. He was sticking and moving, never staying in one place for longer than a second or two. While it was effective in keeping Diaz at bay, it's not something the judges look favorably on.
Through two, it was still extremely close.
There wasn't much change in the third round, other than the fact that Condit was opening up more on his strikes and getting far more comfortable. In short spurts it looked as though he would take the heavy edge but Diaz would always answer back with a well timed and even better placed punch that made the Greg Jackson trained fighter back up again.
After three rounds, the judges were going to have to earn their paycheck in a big way.
Again in the fourth, Diaz started talking, hoping his words could force a sustained exchange where Diaz is best. Condit, of course, was hearing none of it and was content to pick his spots with solid shots from the outside.
And it was working, too, as he was landing cleaner and more often.
Four rounds and who the hell knows, Cecil Peoples was cageside probably just as confused as the rest of us.
As the two got going deep into the final frame, it was no more obvious who the victor would be. Diaz attempted more and more to drag Condit to the ground or work from the clinch but Carlos was too slippery from sweat and too smart to get caught.
Diaz finally got Condit down and took his back while working a rear-naked choke as time ran down in the fight. He couldn't quite make the submission happen but it was a thrilling end to a close fight that seemingly could have gone either way.
In the end, it went Condit's way and he'll fight St. Pierre later this year.

Diaz is a sore and classless POS!
Who says you can’t win a fight backwards? Ever watch Ali? Silva KO’d Forrest going backwards. Plus he gave credit to his takedown but whenever it’s used against Diaz a TD doesn’t mean shit!

#1: Silva (destroys top guys making them look bad for years)
#2: Jones (destroys everybody in front of him making it look easy)
#3: Aldo (tears up people whenever he's not too cautious)
#4: Edgar (should be fighting at 145 but beats everyone at 155)
#5: GSP (long time champ who can't stop guys that others can in the 1st rd or who aren't blown up LWs which isn't so dominating... hence P4P)

he's mad and not the best at hiding his emotions but it was a great battle
I had it 2-2 myself going into the 5th and thought the takedown might have won it
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Man, I like Diaz alot too but hate that sore loser bullshit attitude.

yeah honsetly how can he say he did more damage besides the first round condit had more power strikes
those taps to condits abs are as effective as condits leg kicks
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Condit tagged his legs and Diaz' face was more messed up.
I get that it wasn’t “The Natural Born Killer” way but who else has frustrated Diaz in the stand up like that? Cowboy tried to trade Nate and got picked apart. I call that a good gameplan. Diaz is a terminator.

Thought Condit clearly won the fight....
Executed his game plan effectively. Landed cleaner, more effective strikes. Made diaz miss when he did get into range. Landed far more strikes.
Clear victory to me.

Yep
The goal of fighting is to hit your opponent and for him not to hit you. Look at Diaz’s face and look at Condit’s.
These are my to favorite fighters, I had Condit winning. He landed the power shots, he frustrated his opponent, he circled he took less damage and on and on
And Diaz talking about a take down? Come on, Condit won the first 31/2 minutes of the last round and you won the last 1.5.
The controversy....
Diaz is still convinced that taunting and talking shit scores points in a fight. Had that been the case he clearly won. Being that we scored it and punches and kicks, it was CLEAR Condit, my score was 48-47 giving Diaz 1 and 5

Exactly. I didn’t know much about Carlos but I after watching that fight I respect him immensely for using a highly effective gameplan (stick and move) and not falling into the Diaz trap. He really showed that he’s got a strong mind.
As for Diaz…. well I liked him before the fight but after his spoilt brat attitude after the fight I lost a large amount of respect for him. He basically made it known that he thinks that if someone doesn’t fight a fight he clearly has the advantage in (by staying in one spot so he can beat the living daylights out of them) they aren’t a real fighter.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
I scored for Diaz at first
but looking back and looking at the numbers it goes to Condit. I like Condit more as a fighter overall though. It was close. While watching I gave it to daiz 3-2, but i can easily see 5 going to Condit as well. I don’t agree with a 49-46 score though.
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
Figures I’d agree with you once again Wolf.
I gave Diaz 1 ,2 , 5 , and Condit 3, 4.
Still think Diaz should have gotten the nod, when the striking is close enough, and you have one fighter literally walking down the other fighter the entire time, it’s gotta count for something.
I think you would agree that this is similar to Penn vs Edgar 1 , where Penn took the center and countered, while Frankie chose to bounce in and out.
It might be a more manly thing, as in always walking someone down, or refusing to back up, that doesn’t always carry over on judges’ scorecards.
Yeah it does remind me of Penn v Edgar 1
I honestly gave that to Penn then, same as Diaz. But after review, I understand the decision as it is.
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
I gave it to Penn and Edgar as well. People seem to forget that the object is to finish your opponent. Point fighting should be looked down upon, not praised.
Diaz was never in any real trouble, and Diaz had Condit in some real trouble in the first two rounds. And he had his back in the 5th.
Whatever Condit did in the 3rd and 4th was good at scoring points, but not really putting Nick in serious trouble. I was very impressed with Condit in the third and fourth, but still, this is how it should be.
the leg kick to diaz's head was the most either fighter was in any real trouble
diaz never had a choke set in so condit was never in any real trouble. Condit had the more powerfull shots so I 100% disagree p123
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
he had an arm across the throat once
it seemed like he was trying to finish the fight.
Diaz was never worried about the striking of Carlos.
IT WAS A GREAT FIGHT TO CAUSE THIS MUCH ANGER THOUGH.
There is so much anger here lol
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
lol, angry people are funny.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
he had a arm across the throat with no pressure maybe
never close to finishing, and it may of appeared he wasn’t worried but I don’t agree Diaz was very frustrated infact much more and that shows even more that Condit was controlling the fight more than Diaz was.
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
I’m not being a smartass when I say this, I am just wondering.
Other than the 8 punch combo Diaz landed in the second (?) round, which Condit got away from, when did he have him in trouble?
And I wouldn’t really say Condit was point fighting, he was trying to knock his head off with a lot of those kicks and spinning backfists and the like.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
It seemed like between that finishing combo sealed it for him
it was a close round but I thought Diaz won that round too

Yeah, I can see it either way. I would make a terrible judge, I can never make a solid decision about anything.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
I actually have judged
I judged an amateur event last month, and I am judging another one this month. Regardless of what some people on this site think of me. People who know me in real life know how much I love this sport and how much I know about it.
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
It’s hard work doing stuff like that. I used to score basketball for my ex’s team and it’s so hard to notice everything that happens. You have to be able to focus on multiple things at once. I would love to try judging or reffing, but unfortunately my inability to focus on more than one thing at a time stops that from happening.
At least I know better than to try it anyway though.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
the promoter wants me to get certified to be a ref
I’m interested in it. It’s really interesting. Last event only two events went to decision, and we all scored the same. So they felt I did a good job lol. If you love the sport, and you can’t fight all the time, it’s cool to be there and watch not just as a fan.
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
Yeah, definitely. It’s also a good confidence builder that you all scored it the same.
Is the certification expensive?

There were a lot of grey areas when I watched the fight. Even though Diaz was pressing forward the whole time, it seemed like it could have gone either way for the first two rounds… I could understand Condit winning those rounds for landing more strikes, but I could understand Diaz winning them for his aggression+striking combined. 3 and 4 were Condit, the last round goes to Diaz obviously.
By the end of it I was certain that Condit must have won, but at the same time I can see why people have a problem with it.
I just didn’t like the way Diaz handled himself after the fight was over, it was so immature.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
I've never been impressed with Diaz's conduct outside a fight
I think it’s…. sad that this fight didn’t have a finish. that would have removed all doubt.
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
Diaz won round 2 pretty clearly
He probably won round 3 as well. And the funny thing is everybody watching had it 20-18 after 2.
GSP is running scurred
You really had it that close?
I can’t really think of any round that I would clearly give to Diaz. I gave him the fifth for the takedown (maybe?) and that was it. It doesn’t matter if you are pushing the fight if you are being outstruck the ENTIRE fight.

I am not saying it was an awesome fight. I thought it was a bit of a let down.
Still, you have to judge what you see in the fight, not what you want to see. I saw Carlos winning 4 out of 5.

Diaz lost & he knew it..
It looked like he was copping a plea to Lorenzo before the decision.. its not to be completely unexpected, his image & self image is shot if he has to admit that he got almost totally OUTCLASSED! I think he’s still got fight left in him,and would regret it if he actually did retire, but his gameplan clearly anticipated a more aggressive Condit & he couldn’t adjust his strategy at all..

did you look at the face of Condit
he looked like he knew he lost man, not Diaz, why do you think everyone booed?
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
Because they wanted the GSP/ Diaz fight just like I did.
But there was no way you could take that away from Condit. Look at Condit’s face? Look at the mangled Diaz face!

His face was pinched up
he was upset dude, he looked like he thought he lost

Well then someone is playing a mean joke on him....
because Diaz’s record says that he lost, and they let Carlos walk out with that belt.

its 1am & im full of BBQ chicken, Corona's & Birthday cake
So I’m going off 1st impressions & IMHO I saw condit winning a close but clear decision in which he controlled distance, pace, and outstruck Nick over the course of 4rounds..the best I could’ve seen for Nick is 1 round & 1 even…3 to Condit…

Carlos just recognized it was a close fight, something Diaz and his corner obviously missed
I’m pretty sure I heard someone in Nick’s corner before the 5th say that he was up 3-1 - that was some bad advice as this was obviously a close fight. Condit’s not required to stand still in front of Nick so Nick can through bunches of punches. Diaz’s game got exposed a bit. The number of strikes (since this really was a kickboxing match) will show Condit won the fight with a combination of kicks and punches. As far as Octagon control, Condit controlled the Octagon exactly right. He didn’t pull a Starnes (as Diaz’s face shows) because he actually connected on more strikes. Just because Nick kept walking forward doesn’t mean he controlled anything. The closest he came to controlling anything was the last minute of the last round. Condit fought a smart fight, didn’t get mentally trapped into Diaz’s attempts to get into his head via the trash talk, had the endurance to match Diaz and the discipline to stick to his game plan. I couldn’t pick a winner before this fight and I was really divided as I like both fighters very much. But Condit won this fight. I hope that in time Nick rethinks his decision because he’s a treat to watch.
Life's what happens while you're making other plans
btw, with all his boxing experience, Diaz should know the difference between "running" and "stick and move," something Condit did to perfection tonight
Life's what happens while you're making other plans
yup yup...
The judging standards ALWAYS ALWAY ALWAYS includes the terminology “EFFECTIVE aggression” & “ring generalship”. Walking at a guy & winging & missing ISN’T effective aggression & kicking a man that approaches & controlling how/when/where exchanges occurs IS ring generalship. And if Nick or his corner can’t recognize that its their fault, not “the system” or some “game”

i disagree
i look at it like this…Condits strikes, although they were connecting, didn’t really phase Diaz. He literally walked right through them. Didn’t stumble, get dropped, nothing. Diaz, meanwhile, was able to force the usually aggressive Condit into backpedaling for the entire fight; backing up to the cage, getting ripped to the body, and then circling off constantly.
Evans will dethrone Bones.
Sonnen will smother Silva.
Diaz got robbed.
That is all.

nah wolf..
I just relistened to Nick’s convo with Lorenzo…it sounds like he saying “I came here to fight, I’m not gonna do …I’m not gonna…I’m not gonna fight like that….mumble mumble…cowards..” sounds like he selling himself to Lorenzo right there…DVR caught it, so I’ll rewatch that shit in the morning, I’ll ride the shit storm with y’all tomorrow!

I admit it was very close.
I had it scored during the fight for diaz, fightmetric says condit won, the judges scored it for condit.
I’ll have to watch it again. People are way too emotion about all this. I’m going to bed.

Exactly, what a hypocrite Diaz is.
He’s always knocking wrestling and when he is getting beat in the stand up he resorts to his (crappy) wrestling and then claims it means something.
this is true.........it was close though and I see him seeing he won but acting like a fool after is what has always hurt his image
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Maybe if they were playing tag
Couldn't agree more with Diaz. Condit literally ran the whole fight showed no aggression and wasn't circling he was running. That isn't a Win anywhere in the world.

This just exemplifies what a child he is. He got kicked in the leg so hard it almost gave out. What a classless bitch!

When did his leg get kicked out? Condit must of landed over two dozen kicks to the leg, and Diaz showed no limp what so ever. How does that earn points?

There was a kick in the later rounds that turned Diaz's body and leg went that way as well.
I could have seen wrong though. The thing is you can’t deny it affected the fight. It made Diaz switch stances it was bothering him. I can’t believe this guy would bitch about “baby” leg kicks coming from Mr. Pitter Patter

Yup. I had it 49-46 until nick got that takedown and I could see a 48-47 after that.
But Condit clearly won.

Just because Condit didn't fall into the Diaz trap and
Stand and bang, doesn’t mean that it was all point fighting and was wack. Condit was clearly throwing some strikes trying to end that fight. what do you call those half ass kicks Diaz was trying to land? For points I’m pretty sure.
Don’t be bitter because you bet on Diaz. He made Diaz fight his fight, something not too many people have been able to do. Much respect and praise should go to Condit. It’s not easy yo keep that pace and not fall in those traps.
The more well rounded fighter won. Condit took Diaz’s one strength away, a stand and ban fight and Diaz had no answer. Simple. The better fighter won.

true mma fans do neither

I look for a finishing ratio
it does matter in the perception of the fans. I love technical fights, but point fighting is, not the best thing to do with this crowd. I do criticize GSP for it, I know how fantastic he is, but finishing a fight cements you legacy, your win. and I am a true fan of the sport man.
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
if finishes r the end-all-be-all for u,
you’re not a true mma fan. does it look more dominant when u finish someone? usually. but u can put on a magnificent performance in a decision, as well as an “unexciting” decision as Condit just did.

Anyway, I’m allowed to bicker and moan for atleast 48 hrs after a decision

A true mma fan is one who admires and appreciates greatness…………not someone who relies on “excitement.”
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner

if u don't think that was a great performance by condit,
you’re a clown
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping
Lol oooooooook...
You clearly have never seen great…great is Shogun vs Hendo…great is Michael Chandler vs Eddie Alvarez…great is Anderson vs Chael….Frankie vs Gray 3…
You’re going to put Condit’s performance tonight in the same category as the examples I provided? Really? Okay man, do what you gotta do
you're taking "greatness" to an extreme
it was a brilliant performance. do u think shogun’s performance against hendo was greater, despite him losing?
You’re naming more “exciting” fights. Frankie’s performance was great, yes. I can’t give Chael too much credit since he tested positive for P.E.D.’s and supposedly fought an injured Silva.

Well that was sad.
The “Natural Born Killer” didn’t show up.
That was game planning, points fighting, and trying to channel Jon Jones.
I expected more from Condit, the guy has fought wars.

This fight had so much potential. Its a dog fight on paper. But no one wants to get into a dog fight with Diaz.

but agree it wasn’t "The Natural Born Killer" way but who else has frustrated Diaz in the stand up like that. Cowboy tried to trade Nate and got picked apart.

He did more then just land leg kicks though..
landed spinning back fists, head kicks, body shot, body kicks etc… the leg kicks were more towards the beginning and then he mixed it up more. Then went back towards the end and put it all together well i think.

Four 10-9 rounds for Condit and one for Diaz! Pretty clear cut to me.

Diaz landed the shots that snapped Condit’s head back in the first and second round. He clearly and easily dominated the first two. There’s not even a question of that. Then he might have lost round 3, clearly lost round 4 and easily won round 5.

The only people who see a controversy are those who took it for granted that Diaz was going to win, and who let this bias blind them to what was really going on?
I was really worried that Condit would be robbed because of the silly and irrelevant weight given to so-called ring control. However, stalking without striking is useless. Condit outstruck Diaz clearly. Good decision.

Condit out pointed him......BUT
I can see how Diaz being in there thought he won. He did stalk him the whole time. Leave it to Greg Jackson to make a Nick Diaz fight boring
why didn't he press it more then
you know why because he was getting punched in the fucking face. he could have been less hesitant as well and really went for. you know what he tried and failed. he was just out classed
It was a shame to see Condit fight the way he did.
Constantly backing up, focusing more on leg kicks than doing actual damage. I didn’t have a favorite coming into this fight, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

he may have outstriked him
but lets be honest, 25 minute fight, carlos probably threw stikes for about 10 of them, the rest was running away, if he was working his way out of them (clinch or punching out) then fair enough, but the dude was physically turning away and running. it was like watching the 400 metres and carlos was timing his laps. i love condit but i was going for diaz, it seems to be that octogan control literally didn’t even get judged in this fight. i myself thought it was going to be close, i had diaz in 1st and 2nd just cos of how much running carlos did, then condit 2rd and 4th and i thought diaz took the 5th. can anybody honestly say the way condit fought that he defeated diaz man to man, no. if this had been boxing, 15 rounds, condit too tired to run after that 5th round, diaz wins the fight

The 5th was the only difinitive round imo because of the back taking.
Yes Diaz was coming forward in rounds 1 and 2 but he wasn’t landing as much as Condit. This isn’t that hard to figure out. Diaz was the aggressor but was not having effective striking and I would say he also DID NOT have the ring control. Carlos had Diaz doing what he wanted and out struck him. Just because you go backwards does not mean you are not baiting someone into a situation where you are successful.

I had to kind of go off of things Rogan and Goldy said because it got all tangled up on the cage
BUT, they were saying on there strike counter that Condit had outstruck Diaz going in and out of those exchanges plus the leg kicks. Then in the later rounds I started watching for that and that was what was happening. Diaz would try to corner Condit then Condit would throw some shit in the corner and get the fuck out of dodge. Smart and in this fight, effective. I am by no means a Condit fan… but I do hate Diaz lol.

Diaz snapped Condit’s head back repeatedly in rounds 1-2. Then he slowed in the third. I had it 30-27 Diaz but I could see it going either way. Condit got 4. Diaz won 5. 49-46 Diaz, but 48-47 if you’re being generous to Condit.
GSP is running scurred
3 was not debatable condit clearly scored more
but i agree diaz round five. I thought two was close as condit started coming on late but regardless from past fights being aggressive does not win fights you need to land strikes and condit had more power strikes than diaz.
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
this is what annoys me tho about mma
being aggressive doesn’t win you fights, but running away and then just countering does. i wonder what would have happened if diaz has ran the other way when condit ran off, just doing laps and jousting each other with a jab when they met halfway

Diaz is a great fight but if he can walk u down and control the fight he always take a lose. He will never be a champ in the biggest stage because of his inability to adjust in a fight. Condit won that fight hands down and if think want a bar fight with no game plan then he really should hang it up.
Condit clearly won and clearly did more damage
Not a controversial decision at all. Even if you gave thuglife the last round based on the take down he still won unanimous 48-47, but more likely 49-46 on all cards. Hope ghetto fabulous does retire, what a disrespectful bitch he was at the end with rogan. Solid win Condit

HOW IS IT CONTROVERSIAL . . .
Get over it . . Diaz was beaten fair and square, can not wait until he fights Ellenberger in June
Diaz is walking away from the bullshit judging
And I don’t blame him. Diaz would win a no time limits fight. Some fighters aren’t suited for points fighting. Some people, like Carlos “The Running Man” Condit, are.
GSP is running scurred

I thought the decision was clear
Condit fought a perfect fight and beat Nick up. Although, I was kinda hoping the judges would fuck Condit over so we could get Diaz GSP cause I think thats a bad matchup for GSP.
Diaz fighting guide.
1.) fight your fight.
2.) if all else fails, bitch and convince yourself that you won.
Now, count up your crimes!
I personally had it 48-47 Diaz but it was fuckin close
there were strange decisions throughout the card. Martinez was robbed, Caceres was robbed
You go out there and start acting like a terrorist, you're gonna get Osama Bin Laden'd
yup, GJ ruined ANOTHER good fight

Jackson's camp have mastered the rulebook
and manipulation of the sport shooting for wins and avoiding fights.
Minowaman forever
The goal of fighting
is to hit your opponent and not take any damage your self. Ali, JJ, AS, Mayweather etc etc
That’s what Condit did tonight, look at Diaz’s face. It tells the story.
You sound like a fool
I’m a huge fan of both, but Condit won the fight by dealing more damage, circling away and not falling into Diaz’s traps
No no
Ali always went for the finish, willing to put himself in danger. That’s why Ali is a legend and Carlos will be forgotten. In fact, history tells us that fighters who run to avoid getting hit at all costs are ridiculed. Listen, this also called sports “entertainment” and that fight isn’t exciting to the average fan. Hardcore fans are eating this up, and soon, that’s all who will be watching this sport.
Minowaman forever
Really?
Carlos, who has 28 wins and something like 25 finishes?
ok buddy, sleep well tonight
And ali was known for not taking damage until he got old.
So what happened then?
Why didn’t he go for anything? I saw him suddenly turn into a backing up counter fighter. Lame to watch. He fought a safe boring fight. Admit it.
Minowaman forever
The problem with MMA
is the crappy judging criteria and the extremely oversized ring that has no corners. You can effectively run away all fight in MMA and win. It’s a good thing most fighters haven’t realize this and/or have and want to put on a show, because this sport is absolute shit if everyone fought like Condit did tonight

I’d just like to remind all the Condit lovers who agree with this statement of this;

5-2, undefeated and undisputed, beat me ... if you can.

terrible performance on Carlos’s part.
I told my guest that Diaz could be expected to get rocked and lose the first round, but that he’d pick it up from there on, winning a decision or finishing Condit. When Nick won the first round, and the second and the third… I was like, wow, I expected more from Condit. I was thinking a more closely contested fight… at the end, we collectively had no reason to believe that Condit won. But Joe Rogan was talking him up the entire time he was getting his ass kicked…

Bad Reporting
I’m a HUGE fan of both fighters. I think it’s (grossly) poor poor reporting to say Condit won a “controversial decision.” That doesn’t give any respect for what CC just did over an incredible Diaz.
First, 2 of the 3 judges scored it 49 for Condit. (see: not close… same as I scored it)
Second, Carlos CLEARLY had complete control of game plan, landed more, and fully instilled HIS will for about 24 of the 25 minutes.
Not close. Please continue to try and create drama in your headlines… but feel free to not have to be ignorant to do so.
If you didn't score 1, 2, and 5 for Diaz then you don't know what the fuck you're talking about
It’s controversial for the very reason this thread will hit 1,000 comments. Telling us it isn’t controversial because you think you’re some kind of deft MMA observer means fuck all.
GSP is running scurred
Irony of a deft MMA commenter
It’s going to hit a lot of comments because it’s dealing with someone who is a polarizing figure (Diaz), who many wanted to win. When you only watch a fight looking at only one of the fighters goals through a fight it’s easy to score a victory for them.
So yeah, I’ll go ahead and flat out say you scored it wrong. Maybe that’s just my opinion. But go read the play by plays of every single MMA blog. They all scored it the same. As did the judges. But fuck those deft idiots, right??? WAR DIAZ!
Condit was effectively outstriking Diaz the whole fight...
Condit showed how to beat Diaz. You got to have good cardio and outstrike him while taking the least damage. It’s Diaz and his teams fault for feeling they could just follow Condit around and let him counter attack him all night and expect to win.
According to David Emerson, those hits never happened.

You are just hating. It’s better to admit you are then try to argue that Nick won this fight, or that Carlos ran.
I could almost agree that maybe condit won on points
but I’d be willign to bet carlos spent 5+ minutes of that fight with his back turned to Diaz, running…..

I’ll concede condit fought the smart fight, did his job and out landed a guy who usually outstrikes everyone. Good fight. Best of luck to both of them. I hope Condit KO’s GSP.

Please Diaz' Fans, just STFU
War NBK!
I have absolutely nothing against Nick Diaz, but his fans are a bigger disgrace than the old Lesnar’s ones.
These guys get in to Diaz’ hype and can’t see a palm in front of their face.
The fight really wasn’t what we were expecting, but Condit fought the perfect fight.
He completely nullified Diaz’ boxing.
Why the fuck would Condit stand in front of Nick and be a target?
People are saying that Condit didn’t hit Nick but the statistics will show different.
Nick got out of the fight with his face all fucked up and still says that Condit only hit him with “baby kicks”
What Condit did was what Lyoto always does: circulates around the octogon, doesn’t take much damage and people call him genious.
Fact is: Carlos Condit just layed down the blueprint to fuck Diaz’ boxing up.
lol
If Condit beats GSP using this same “gameplan” this site would explode with butt hurt St Pierre fans
Boozer sucks.
I agree with the way mmamania scored the fight..49-46 condit
I wanted diaz to win and he would have if condit just boxed with him and played into his game of beating the crap out of guys against the fence. Condit is the more well rounded striker, nick is the better boxer, but this is mma. I’m truly surprised it was a controversial fight, with so many thinking nick won, can’t wait for fight metrics report. I was surprised with how bad koscheck looked and thought that fight was judge right, a split decision, a coin toss, I think koscheck is a lot better than that, and off night for him.
48-47 diaz
Round 1 clearly Diaz
Round 2 We laughed out loud at Diaz dominance
Round 3 Diaz to be objective Condit
Round 4 Clearly Condit
Round 5 Diaz sealed by the takedown
How 2 judges had it 49-46 Condit is beyond me. He ran most of the fight. Was dominated rounds 1 and 2 and lost round 5. Worst decision since Akiyama robbed Belcher at UFC 100. Bullshit.
If you love talking about MMA Fights or Sports in general
Follow me www.twitter.com/bonydigital
I blame Nick for not adjusting...he could have literally stood in the middle of the ring and waited for Condit
The problem with Nick’s style is that it requires him to always come forward so his opponent can’t get into their rhythm…
But with that said, I still think Nick won round 1 and 2, then round 5
truely
George will not fall into that.
It will be a good fight without negatuive drama,
But StPierre is syill the man.
There is only one time when it is essential to awaken.

That's why I'm upset...
If Condit has to point fight like that in such a high level bout, then how is he going to fight GSP…he’s not going to out point GSP…Diaz vs GSP would have been the more competitive fight….but GSP vs Condit isn’t very interesting to me
GSP vs Condit will be like every GSP fight.
Condit wont win a single round and the judges tonight will be to blame. They should of given Diaz the benefit of the doubt.
i don't think he'll try to outpoint gsp.....
gsp doesn’t have an iron chin like diaz does. and as u say, it will be tougher to outpoint gsp than it was diaz. couldn’t disagree more on the competitive fight difference. gsp would’ve made what condit did to diaz look sloppy. condit has a chance to finish gsp.
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping
me too
Pierce was the robbery tonight

reminds me of a guy I train with
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride

The possible ways to score this fight.
It was a close fight and I think there are number of reasonable ways to score it. To me rounds 1 and 2 were Diaz rounds. Round 4 was the most obvious round of the fight and I scored it for Condit. Rounds 3 and 5 were the close ones. I think the only way you could score the fight for Condit is with wins in round 3 and 5, which would be generous (althought not complete bullshit). I would probably score both of those rounds draws giving Diaz a 2 rounds to 1 win. Carlos got a little lucky with that one. As for any 49 to 46 scorecard though; complete bullshit scoring.
So..
There is no way Diaz deserved to win a decision. None; at all. 0.
Jon Jones and Anderson Silva are top 2 p4p.

Yeah
I really only see round 2 possibly going for Nick. Walking forward doesn’t mean shit, if you’re not hitting him with many shot’s or landing strikes. Like Couture said a while back "People mistake aggression, for “effective-aggression”. That’s coming from a hall-of-famer so, not just my opinion.
Besides, Nick didn’t adapt his gameplan. He and his corner are to blame, and the judges for the most part had it right, he was outstruck, and was hit with many more-powerful shots than he landed.
Jon Jones and Anderson Silva are top 2 p4p.
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 :)
The 49-46 score bothers me more than the outcome.
IF you score it for Condit there is now way you can give Diaz any less than two rounds. 48-47 Condit MAYBE, 49-46 absolutely now way.
People complain that Carlos ran, but what did Nick do to stock him? Walking around like a mentally disabled guy and expects fighters to stand in front of him so that he can do his pitter patter jabs isn’t exactly the smartest of the strategies.
if you think a take down sealed it
you guys are just built the same way as some judges are. taking someone to the ground and practicaly inflict nothing/ or do something whatsoever doesnt earn you a round.
Its turbo time!
A take down might not mean too much but in a close round...
it could be just enough sometimes.
The pic says it all. Carlos didn't even believe he won.
Irony is the clash of opposites. It is the juxtaposition of what is expected against what happens; what you know and what you think you know. And... Most people don't get it.
I feel like all the drunk people thought Diaz won
Taunting doesn’t score in a fight!
All of my hammered friends swore that Diaz had the dec. Diaz definitely was the funnier fighter, thats the only thing he did better than Condit tho

Diaz won that fight
Greg Jackson has ruined worlds greatest sport.. RIP MMA..
still baffled
greg strikes again! masterful game plan, excecuted well. not enough i thought, came down to the second round in my book and they gave i to nick slightly, 5th round was close until diaz got the takedown and took the back, dominat postion only one of the whole fight. greg clearly planned for points win “code blue” i guess that meant to circle out even if it meant running away, carlos is warrior no doubt fought smart got the “w” not a robbery but not what the judges had it scored, i guess i had my hopes to high for a scrap like everyone else, felt deflated still do. GSP vs Condit should be a snoozefest, but who knows this fight was suppose to be fight of the year and was far from it.
