Cesar Gracie 'shocked' at UFC 143 decision, says 'incompetent judges' don't like Nick Diaz and are ruining MMA

NICK DIAZ clearly LOST, i rewatched fight twice, Diaz won only second round…!!

It is one thing to stick up for your fighter and support him when he believes he won a fight, but questioning the validity of the sport is a bit much. It was close certainly, though I am of the opinion Carlos won. Aggression may count for something, but why should it if it leads you to receiving more than you give out. All other things being equal, the aggressor should win, but in this case all else was not equal.

Caesar should corner Leonard Garcia if he wants the judges to credit his fighters for hitting his opponent’s fist and feet with his face.

And enough of this "I am disappointed that my opponent (in this case, my fighter’s opponent) didn’t stand and fight like a man. We get it, you are tough because you wanted to brawl, and your opponent was a sissy for stategizing – being macho is so cool, I get it, but I guess people with that prerogative just have to accept that some fighters want to win rather than impress their opponent and his trainer with the size of his balls.

Great fight for Carlos.

Instead to have another tantrum.

Knew this was coming

Pointless rematch because Carlos would just beat Nick even worse if they fought again

Great, had to wait two whole days to hear Ceasar bitch n moan. So sick of this motherfucker

Perhaps Caesar should have considered a gameplan for the possible outcome that Condit would not stand still and swing for the whole fight. I’m thinking he should consider that next time, rather than saying he doesn’t like it when Greg Jackson fighters thwart his master plan of threatening to express disappointment towards fighters who circle.

He was losing the exchanges, he was just trying to punch condit against the cage, see who can take the most damage. Street fight not sport fighting. Carlos controlled the octagon, Nick just plodded forward trying to bully him. I don’t see the controversy other than people blinded by emotions

You know at first I was pissed and everything and I’ve debated constantly about this but now i see it doesn’t matter. No matter what the decision was made and condit won the fight and the people that don’t like Nick or anyone around him just loved to see him lose and had to just rub it in. To me it was kind of when fedor kept losing, people just wanted to hear themselves sound right about something and i can understand that. Oh well condit is the interim champ that performance to me takes nothing away from diaz. It just surprises me how people accept that style of fighting call it smart, running, being a coward call it whatever but the bottom line is this is a contact sport if you don’t feel like you want to get hit, taken down, grinded on, or cheap shotted then just don’t fight. I don’t like the Jackson camp their style isn’t pleasing to me. I like how Brazilians fight they are very technical but they fight to their strength and NOT their opponents weakness and this whole thing about guys humping guys to victory is getting old when you got Jds and Aldo who are pure strikers and are defending td after td and then knocking dudes out. Out of all what happened I felt cheated but now I’m over it. Diaz is still my favorite welterweight and probably always will be. Good luck to condit I hope he cones back as NBK and destroys his next opponent and as for diaz there is no need to retire unless you just can’t handle the fact that guys don’t always want to strike. And I didn’t expect for condit to stand in front of diaz and just strike I expected a technical stand up fight and it didn’t happen. And oh diaz isn’t a boxer that’s a bad misinterpretation. He has great hands but everything else is missing

Condit missed every spinning backfist attempt and fell on his ass trying to get fancy. Watch how many times Condit’s head snaps back during the fight. Fuckin Rogan was calling combos that were ficticious-ones Condit wasn’t even landing. UFC is turning more and more into the WWE every day. Now, I know why Dana White visited Vince Macmahon at Titan Towers…

But, I do feel like this needs to mentioned. Sorry if someone else has said this before. If Diego Sanchez can win that decision after getting absolutely wailed on my Martin Kampmann, when Kampmann clearly smashed Diego’s face to bits while backing up the whole time. I find it hard to understand that under the same scoring system Carlos can win while obviously running and not doing anywhere near as much damage.

Anyway, resume the bickering.

I like both fighters and thought Condit won this fight. But I hated the way he fought. Now I’m sure some of you may have liked this fight, I really didn’t. And I’m 99% sure that Condit has never fought like this before, and if he had he wouldn’t have me or many others as his fans.

But, I do have a problem with the way he hyped this fight. Now, I don’t expect a fighter to come out and explain his game plan, but I do expect a PPV fight to be entertaining.

Wish the UFC would change what the judges look for. This would help make fights more entertaining. This is done by looking at damage, more then accumulation of take downs or leg kicks(more Pride rules style then boxing)

Every decision loss has been BS, the Noons fight should not have been stopped.

Everyone is against him and he always gets screwed.

i agree with cesar gracie.this is some bullshit. whats the definition of a fight. the stupid condit was just running all night and u give him a decision for that?im done spending ma fuckin money on all this shit.thas why i dont watch GSP fights.i wont even spend a dime on his fights. NICK im down with u.if it aint nick diaz then fuck mma

I was pulling for Nick. I wanted to see GSP vs Diaz fight so bad. But I was disappointed at the end of the fight because I was sure Condit won. I am tired of Nick, I am okay if he never wants to fight MMA again, I cant handle this crying BS. You lost, man up and accept it. The post fight comments were a disgrace and a joke. what’s this “I lost, so I’m not gonna play with you guys anymore”? If you dont like the sport then leave.
He is a great fighter but this drama is boring.

just re watched the fight, originaly watching live i thought condit won, and i really thought he won pretty unanimously but re watching it i can see diaz should have got the first 2 and maybe the fifth

And suddenly now the judges are “incompetent” and “hate” nick diaz because of a very close arguable decision?

“He nearly had to kill B.J. Penn (at UFC 137) to earn that decision”. He won that by UD – wtf is this clown talking about?

…the Karate point fighting…for certain…as far as effective striking…I believe Diaz was more so….and he definitely demonstrated octagon control…Diaz won rds 1,2 and 5…at the same time this is what we’re going to get when it’s left up to the judges…inconsistency…in a clearly different fight Rampage beat Machida w/out landing a punch…
…bottom line those that wanted Condit to win are happy with the decision…but it’s the fans that really lost…I enjoy strategy as it is part of the sport…but after that fight it’s difficult to see Condit as a champion…lacked any killer instinct…strictly went into survivor mode…yes he played by the rules…but if this is a prelude of things to come against GSP they should put on their taekwondo head gear, shin pads and bulls-eye vests because that’s about as good as it’s going to get…we went from a potential fight of the year candidate to a predictable 5 rd snooze fest…

Condit forced Diaz to fight his style, don’t think Condit won?

Look at the punch stat numbers; look at how frustrated Diaz was almost the entire fight.

Round 3 was close, none of the other rounds were, even round 5 , Diaz took down Condit, put a triangle around his waist, and aside from getting elbowed by Condit several times, did absolutely nothing.

Condit controlled the action by forcing Diaz to adapt to his style, not standing in front of Diaz and trading punches doesn’t make you a chicken, it makes you smart, especially since it won Condit the fight.

A boxing comparison would be a technical boxer vs a brawler, Condit picked Diaz apart, especially with leg kicks

for the most part it seems we can all agree on condit getting rnd 4 and diaz 5…round 3 was closer round…but for the sake of the arguement give it to condit. than the first 2 rounds all go to diaz bc he had carlos not only backing off but he just ran the whole time. there is actually a few points where he actually lowers his hands and steps sideways and walks away from diaz and away from the fight. …and you can say all you want about game plans but if you game plan is to run …then i think mixed martial arts isn’t the sport for you.

Poor sportsmanship.

GET OVER IT….you LOST! stop whining….

Did they forget how much crap they gave Penn when he gave his little speal on Nick….Some stuff about losing respectfully and improving yourself….Most hypocritical camp and fighters in the UFC.

But I do love watching his fights and consider him a great fighter. If not for his shitty attitude he would be in my top 5 but due to his attitude he is right down there with Bisping and Kos in my book.

With all that said I think hands down HE WON THE FIGHT. He was robbed and the 4-1 score confirms this. Its clear the judges hate him and my advice to him would be to work on his attitude and keep his mouth shut in the ring then maybe they will give him a round occcasionaly
