The results of the event may not have been what UFC desired but surely they're happy to see the buyrate.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer (subscription required) is reporting that UFC 143: "Diaz vs. Condit," which took place on Sat., Feb. 4, 2012, from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, did 400,000 pay-per-view buys in preliminary estimates.
That's a pleasant surprise for an event lacking star power in the traditional sense. Nick Diaz is an Internet darling, sure, but his main event bout against B.J. Penn -- a far bigger star than Carlos Condit -- did just 280,000 buys.
Then again, a championship was on the line this time around (even if it was an interim title), and the event took place on Super Bowl weekend. Add in a three-part Primetime series airing on FX and the "Prelims" special on the same channel garnering a highly respectable 1.4 million viewers on average for a two hour broadcast and maybe this shouldn't be such a surprise.
The event featured Carlos Condit winning a five-round unanimous decision over Nick Diaz in what some consider controversial fashion, as all three judges awarded "The Natural Born Killer" the victory and in turn, the interim UFC welterweight championship and the promise to fight Georges St. Pierre later this year.
But it's gotten wacky ever since.
Diaz abruptly quit the sport in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan before his management team took to Twitter to campaign for an immediate rematch. Initially, the Condit camp refused and proclaimed they're preference was to wait for St. Pierre to recover from a knee injury that will sideline him until November.
Then, suddenly, word got out that the rematch was booked. Indeed, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the bout was in the works and even said Condit was the one who asked for it. That seemed strange enough but then things got even stranger.
Gracie, who had been so vehemently asking for the rematch, quickly changed his tune and said the fight would not be taking place. He refused to elaborate any further but emphatically stated multiple times to multiple media outlets the bout will not occur.
But, again, we still don't know why.
Now, we're in a holding pattern, waiting on more news. But in the meantime, everyone can rejoice with the news that the show performed better than expected at the box office.
Yippee.

i saw him walking around being kicked and punched and not doing as much back
tends to be how you lose a fight. but apparently “liking a fighter more” automatically gives said fight extra points per round. the judges didn’t understand that and failed to put that into consideration.
cesar doesn’t want a rematch becuase he knows nicholas will lose. he wants a fight he can win and have condit thrown to ellenberger

yet he lost...

Please copy this sig if you agree.
only in the books
to the fans, he still won the fight.
if erick silva fans can make that claim, so can impartial people on diaz vs condit (yes, i’m not a diaz nor condit fan)
pride never die.
to
theHIS fans, he still won the fight.
Fixed.
I am so tired of talking about this. There were 3 bigger robberies on the SAME FUCKING CARD, yet you fucking guys can’t let this go. It was a close fight that went against Nick. He should take it as a learning experience and GROW from it. NOPE, not a “fighter” from the 209. He is gonna take his ball and go home because he doesn’t need gameplanning or professionalism or maturity.
I HOPE, HOPE, HOPE this fucker pisses dirty so all of you biased morons can shut the fuck up since he would have been stripped of the fake belt anyway.

i know
guy i had a dude bbm’ing me literally non stop for the last week trying to change my mind. it wasn’t even a robbery. i literally would have been floored if condit wasn’t announced winner. he was the clear victor.
fuck i mean if kev can say he scored it for condit, what the fuck are the rest of these eminem wannabes watching?

not a fan, actually hate his persona
but i still think he won that fight.
get used to talking about this fight, this fight actually had some relevance to its division, this is the fight that changes lifes around. I’m sorry cazares got screwed out of another 8000 or that pierce got denied of another chance at a top-10 opponent but he’s got space to built. Nick is a young fighter and he could come back but right now, he was robbed of a big ammount of money due to poor judging.
pride never die.
no he wasn't

yes, he won't get a proper ppv share for his next fight

Nick doesn't get PPV share on his current contract
So he would have had to beat GSP and then renegotiate as champ.
But please continue top create more excuses for why you have no logic for this fight.

So because the magnitude of the MONEY involved is bigger, the closeness is less?

Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
I laid money on diaz, and I admit, condit won
condit just did some classic boxing stick and move out of the corner, he was always back in the center of the cage and he kept busy the whole time while diaz was more in stalking mode.
Diaz needed to come forward quicker, cut the cage off better, and pull the trigger much sooner.
The only way to see that nick won is to greatly reduce points for kicks… kickin and countering out of a corner is for pussies? If that is true, yeah Nick won

Yep It was close though however you want to look at it
However people who run away should not get rewarded, they are bad for mma they are basically the standing version of Fitch and mma would be dead if everyone fought like Fitch does. What he did was RUN there are no opinions that can possibly change that, counterpunching=fine running =W T F( i want my money back)

I think at moments he ran but you would rather award someone that acts like trailer trash in the octagon just waking around landing a punch a minute ?
That’s rediculous . The judging should reflect who landed more controlled grappling more etc , the pay should be used as leverage to fighters who run or stall or lay and pray . Condit circled landed and moved mostly . What everyone is making it out to be is assanine

if condit wasn't landing combos and only jabbing and running he'd have lost, but he didn't...
…he dominated the stand up. and if diaz did something other than follow him round for 4 and a half rounds diaz would have won.
wooly these people are fools. your argument will fall on blind eyes. i didn’t especially like the way condit won, but he won. diaz should have cut him off and forced his game, but he didn’t. he just begged condit to stand still while he hit him

Well said....
diaz should have cut him off and forced his game, but he didn’t. he just begged condit to stand still while he hit him
The only “running” Condit did was to the center of the Octagon. Can you blame him? I’m not a fighter, but if a guy is throwing punches at me, I would prefer if my back wasn’t against a wall (or cage).
Professional Sig Bet Record: 11-5
Watch out Jake, you think you're in a Dream, but you're heading for a Nightmare.....
mma would be great if all the fighters would be as relentless as fitch
now, if they could get some power behind those gnp punches, mma would be fucking fantastic.
fitch doesn’t lay on his opponent, he actually works like a fucking horse, it’s just that he doesn’t have any punching power
pride never die.
Don't waste your time with that argument...

Please copy this sig if you agree.
i did
he set the pace. Carlos run away from the fight all night and was content with throwing silly leg kicks that wouldn’t even move diaz.
you wanna see how a real kick looks like? watch cyborg vs diaz. He landed some hard ones. Those kicks should win fights, not just those intended to score in the eyes of the judges
pride never die.
You didn't if you believe this was a robbery.
It was a close fight, yet your logic cannot see that.
Maybe logic means something different in Mexico? Seriously.
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.
Please copy this sig if you agree.
and leg kicks mean much more in nevada than in california?
‘cause those kicks didn’t win shogun a fight (and those were kicks that actually hurt his opponent) but they did win it for condit? c’mon son
pride never die.
C'mon, son? REALLY?
So you don’t think itis possible for one of the judges (cough, Cecil Peoples, cough) from the Shogun fight., a fight that MORE people said was a robbery, including the head of the UFC who granbted an immediate rematch, could have adapted his judging style to more fit with the rule book due to his oversight of his prior beliefs?
You don’t think the judges learn and grow and EVERY SINGLE FIGHT needs the exact same science applied to it?
The only way to do that is to assign numbers to every facet of scoring and let computers tally the score, but SINCE CONDIT LANDED MORE EFFECTIVE STRIKES AND TOTAL STRIKES, Condit would have won anyway.
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.
Please copy this sig if you agree.
that's the thing:
effective strikes
none of condit’s kicks slowed down nick, how’s that effective? what counts more 100 strikes from mount or 1 strikes that wobbles your opponent?
not even the head kicks from condit did a thing to move diaz
pride never die.
And Nick never wobbled Condit
not sure the relevance here.
More total strikes – Condit
More significant strikes – Condit
More power strikes – Condit
A guy that gets outstruck 100 -1, but that one punch put the other guy on queer street (which never happened in this fight, btw), but doesn’t finish loses the round EVERY SINGLE TIME.
That is not obvious to you?
Do you want to outlaw kicks?
Do you think punches count for more?
Do jabs with the hands score higher than jabs with the feet?
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.
Please copy this sig if you agree.
that was just an example
i was thinking pierce vs fitch, rnd 3. Fitch dominated and grinded pierce like the saddistic fuck he is, yet one flurry from pierce won him than round.
the point i’m trying to make is that only effective striking should be scored. If you touch my face 100 times and i touch yours 50 times but neither of the two did ANY damage whatsoever, the round should be at least 10-10 and not scored based on who landed the bigger number of touches. Does that make sense or are we both wasting our time here?
pride never die.
we are wasting our time
100-50 means the guy with 100 wins the round.
That is how every other sttriking sport in the world is scored.

I don't know what rogan is smoking 1st to say condit won then change his mind to diaz
A little too much chronic imo.
"Did you know that if you mix equal parts
of gasoline and equal parts frozen orange juice
concentrate, you can make napalm?"
The UFC president and all 3 judges thought that Condit won
And those 4 people are who matter most, Not some ex strikeforce fighters(Cung Le, Lindland, Hendo, Kennedy and Mayhem) or people who have recently trained with Diaz(Rousey and Neer).
Open and shut case really.
BJ Penn and Shogun Rua fan for life.
Really a list??
So I assume the other roughly 300 fighters scored it for Condit?? Yeah Condit won again.

"Did you know that if you mix equal parts

The only thing we know is that the winner of this fight is a huge bone of contention
Which invalidates the results. Everyone knows that the validity of anything in this world is based on the social construct of the majority. If half the people believe one thing and half believe another then a thing is only half true.
It’s the same with the 2000 presidential election. It’ll always be a controversy and some will always believe Gore won the election.
Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209
You can believe anything you want
but Gore was never President of the US. Just like Nick will never be the winner of that fight.

Isn't it obvious?
Based on how well the PPV performed, I’m sure that the UFC is probably in the middle of negotiating a price tag just to get Diaz back in the ring.
And they should pay whatever he wants, too.
At this rate, Diaz is famous enough that he would draw decently on HBO or Showtime.

Nick Diaz sells
Like it or not – it’s a fact. It’s not because people condone his attitude and behavior. It is because Nick is just being Nick, and many people admire a guy who is just himself in this day and age. Like him or not, he is who he is, and he’s going to keep being Nick… and being Nick sells.
Tomorrow should be interesting. There was supposed to be some kind of announcement, but with Gracie saying there will be no rematch, I’m sure Dana and the boys will still have to say something…. rematch or not.
And after taking his ball and going home
he won’t sell much going forward.
400k is an AMAZING number considering the quality of the card. This card, two years ago, was barely Spike worthy, now it gets 400K buys. Pretty impressive.
I need to start following the trends for PPV’s after a Fox card. Seems to me that the UFC pulled in at least 100K PPV purchases from the Fox advertising and the promo on the Fox card.

the 4 months of promo for it was lost when GSP went down two weeks (? close, I think) prior to the card.

I disagree. Nick/Bj did 280K buys. It was a better overall card, BJ is a MUCH bigger name than Condit, and there were some residual buys from people not realizing GSP was not onthis card (yes, MMA fans are that dumb).
Like I said above, I think the Fox card, with its promos, garnered around 100,000 additional PPV buys.

440K for Condit/ Diaz is remarkable. They outdrew everyone but Brock, GSP and Bones. Says something about Nick’s emergent star power and I agree with whpoever said above that Nick is only waiting to sign for this fight unti after he renegotiates his contract price.
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.
Please copy this sig if you agree.
I was thinking it was gonna do 300k max
That prime time must have pulled in a lot of viewers.
You go out there and start acting like a terrorist, you're gonna get Osama Bin Laden'd
Train by day, Joe rogan podcast by night…….all day. Haha fucking stupid. Who cares about that anymore its pointless to argue now, condit won that gay ass fight and not Nick. Anyone can believe what they want but the truth is we were all dooped into believing we were going to see a foty candidate. CARLOS CONDIT stole that from us, Nick may have done what he always has done in talking shit but at atleast he fought. So condit won that piece of shit fight well good for him. And those of you that think there will be a rematch don’t count on it. I believe Nick is done with the sport at least for a good while and I don’t blame him. He doesn’t know how to play into the judging game so he is feel up with it. But the guy is a true fighter and i respect the Hell out of him. WAR DIAZ!

400k is a good #
The undercard was very weak. Not sure about anybody else out there but this usually sways my decision to buy a PPV or not. I usually buy if there’s 2-3 good fights. This time there was only 1 I thought was good (main event of course) and I still bought it. I’m sure if there was oneo other big name fighter on it that number would’ve been at least 500+
Diaz, bitches!
Mike Goldberg: "You know Joe, When Matt and his brother Mark Hughes were growing up, they would pound each other behind the barn."
most people who buy, buy because of the headliner
i feel like one more big fighter wouldnt’ve changed much. unless that fighter was GSP or me.

and you are starting to see the cards refelcted that way.
when the co-main is between two guys at least one win from a title shot, if not more, you know the card is based upon the headliner.
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.
Please copy this sig if you agree.
yeah like look at ufc 145
the potential co-heads are mcdonald/mills, torres/mcdonald, or shaub/rothwell. i really hope they add a bigger fight to that card.
