Well Im suprised no-one has mentioned the fight card from the weekend gone
WOW, Diaz Penn, what a scrap !! It hurt me watching that fight as both fighters are in my top 5 current fave fighters. Credit has to go to Penn for the heart and chin he displayed, at times during that 2nd rd i was convinced Penn was gonna go down, especially from the lethal body shots Diaz was planting deep into his gut's. Both guys looked messed up afterwards. In fact Im sure at one point Diaz started headbutting Penns jabs
GSP will have his work cut out I have no doubt about it. His fight with Condit will give us a good barometer of the stand up game and how the two will fair.
Props to Cerrone also for taking on Siver at his own game, those kicks were fairly lethal!!
As for Nelson, that kid has some chin I tell ya !! He didnt even blink when Cro Cop caught him with that left high kick, considering thats his showreel finish, Nelson stood up well to him.
EDIT: Ok, just read that Diaz WILL now face GSP on the SuperBowl weekend fight card in Feb 2012, which means Condit will step aside for the match !!
Hopefully that will also be the same card which will see the rematch of Silva v Sonnen.
