I'm waiting for this postfight meltdown. Diaz is done with the UFC, I know Dana is not going to put up with this shit its going to be great. Diaz run out of MMA for good with bitter tears.

Someone already made the comparison, but there's still nothing more apt; Diaz got Edgar'd, and hord. DOWNLOAD COMPLETE
I dont understand this line of thinking. Walking at someone who not only is hitting you but totally neutralizing your own offense isn't winning by any stretch. If it was 'walk forward and get punched a lot' championship diaz definitely had it in the bag.
Clank Jank, just doesn't sound right... LOL.
I had the same. 5 could have went to Conduit if he didn't give up the takedown and position.
You're nuts.
Round 1,3, and 4 were unquestionably Condit's. 2 was close, could have gone either way. Five I guess you can give Diaz, but it was all Condit until that takedown.
It is objective fact that Condit landed more strikes through the first two rounds than Diaz did.

He's probably melting down right now backstage and Dana is probably giving him his pinkslip for being such a bitch. I love it.

seems appropriate
Haha, I think that's what makes this result great. The only argument you could possibly have for Diaz winning is "octagon control", because he sure as hell didn't do much else outside of the end of the 5th round.

No shit.
Condit just turned this sport into TKD point fighting. Might as well give the guys padded armor with spots on it now.
Surprised so many people here are agreeing with the worst judging crew in the history of the sport.

No Lesnar, no Diaz. The douchebag trailer trash era of MMA may be coming to an end. Is it too good to be true?
my comment was directed at those saying he ran away the whole time. a truly retarded and clueless thing to say to discredit condit,
Ok Diaz got outstruck but you CANT say he did nothing outside of the 5th. He tagged Condit alot. Look at Condits face.
Might as well make the rule: "You can only advance forward and throw bombs"

If Diaz wasn't a retard who had more strategy than 'walk forward and punch' and talk shit in the middle, maybe he could have fought him in the middle of the cage. But then again, he was getting his ass kicked everytime the fight was in the middle. But then again, this isn't B rate Strikeforce MMA, he fought someone with a brain, something Diaz obviously doesn't have - and lost. Deal with it.
The only way it would have been better is if it had been Georges wrestlefucking him for five rounds that produced this result.

Nate is the messiah of douchebag bro mma. He is the chosen one. I bet his girlfriend has black hair with blonde streaks.

On the post show they said Condit broke the record for leg kicks.
And yet, Diaz isn't limping...there was no "OMG! Look at how purple his leg is" call from Goldy or Rogan.
Why?
Baby leg kicks. Point fighting bullshit game of tag. And the worst judges in the sport awarded a Title for it.
...and you guys have no problem with that?

I'll give him that. He had a few solid lands. But he virtually played into the same traps over and over again. No adjustment whatsoever in the fight, probably because he was delusional and even said it himself that he thought he was winning via control.

There's no problem because he wasn't just landing leg kicks...

Diaz was more aggressive and was pretty much in control of the octagon. He landed way better shots in round 1, and 2 , while carlos ran around the entire time. Round 3 and 4 , carlos won those 100% , as he got the better exchanges in. Round 5 was going to Condit by a slight margin, but with nick getting the takedown I award him the fight.
Either way , it was a disappointing fight. I've seen better battles during pokemon.
Wait .. weren't the announcers praising Diaz for that exact style of fighting? Now, because Condit turns the tables on him, he's a pussy?
Might want to look at Condit's past record. Tons of finishes.
I can see the tag-line already:
"Battle of the Gameplans"
"One pointmaster to rule them all"
"Athlete vs Natural Born Point Fighter"
Too bad he a bitch and just retired.
He landed some nice shots on Condit but the simple fact is Condit landed considerably more, overall. I dunno if the numbers are up yet but there should be a huge difference in kicks landed, for one thing.
There's no argument you can really make in Diaz' favor except that he was more aggressive, in terms of constantly walking forward and through strikes, and I don't think that's nearly enough. When that's been hugely successful for him in the past in rattling his opponent so he can crush them throughout the fight with combos - especially against the cage - Condit wasn't about to have any of that and escaped danger every time, while also landing more shots.
Maybe UFC just isn't for you. Maybe just watch street fights?

And what do you call those 50% "flurries" by Diaz he throws? He had one good flurry in Rd 2 that had all the body force of Glass Joe. Condit looked like the guy just wiped the sweat off him.
Oh and weird, that blood on Diaz's face after the fight saying he didn't do anything was gravy. I love it.
What did Diaz do to stop it? Nothing.

Condit did minimal damage despite throwing lots. That was obv his plan. Just get strikes off and escape when backed up and rack up the points.
But Diaz was even poorer than that. He seemed more intent on fighting, but he didn't really get anything off.
Smart from Condit. I found the fight really boring though. I wanted Diaz to win so maybe I'm biased or maybe I just hoped for a better fight...but I thought if was really dull.

When Diaz was down he tried to score the points by getting takedowns. Isn't that what his nut hugger hate about fighters?
Baby leg kicks? Thats hilarious in the context of defending a guy who made a career out of slapping like a bitch. Your boy got worked plain and simple.
Diaz doesn't duck fighters inside the Octagon, they should really halve the size of that thing.
Amazing how true this is.
ItAintEasyBeinCheesy
it's 4th of July in my asshole
All the damage and bruising migrates up to Nicks face, it's why he looks like he does.
I agree with this, less talk and mock, more strategy. I'm not sure he's that smart though.
