Diaz vs Condit

[Mattyhitman]

Big fight this weekend and it has the makings of FOY. So does Diaz's smothering punches overwhelm Condit or does Condit's power crack Nick's iron jaw? Ought to be interesting to see if Carlos looks for the TD considering Nick has had issues with wrestlers in the past. Both have pretty good subs but I think Nick gets the nod for better BJJ. Really looking forward to this one.

Yea really looking forward to this, my bets with a buddy at work are im going for Diaz, Nelson and Jorgensen. The other fights we couldnt split and went for the same fighter.

As for Diaz fight, it will be interesting to see if Condit's power is as good when he's moving backwards cos ya can be sure that Diaz will push the pace and be moving forward throwing plenty. Diaz can, and will get caught, BJ done well enough !
If it does go to the ground I can see Diaz having the upper hand here. Being a Gracie BJJ diciple he will nothing to fear on the ground from Condit. Diaz is more than versed in BJJ and submissions, and fighting off his back wont be to much of a problem.
Im hoping for Diaz win so he can get that shot at GSP, I see Diaz as really the only man to push GSP at this time.

I want Condit to win, but Diaz will probably take it.

He has a way of negating the offense and power of most of his opponents.

Hope Condit lands one on him like the one he put on Hardy though.

My thoughts are the exact opposite of Hulk lol.

I really want Diaz to win but I can see him getting stopped on cuts.

Is this a 5 round main event fight?

Is this a 5 round main event fight?

As far as im aware it is a 5rd fight, with it being for the interim title also, this would lend to the fact it's a 5rd fight

It was close but I had it 3 rounds to 2 for Condit. The first round was pretty tight but I gave it to Carlos for the leg kicks. I thought Nick landed the better shots in 2 and 3. Condit started putting really good combos together in 4. I had Condit ahead in the last round. The take down by Nick made it interesting but it was a little too late. I give big props to Carlos. He showed some great foot work and mixed up the striking. Nick never could really get in a rythm. I'd still lean towards GSP to win but Condit showed he can adapt and come with a good gameplan. Hopefully Nick doesn't quit. There are still some good fights for him at 170 and with a couple more wins he coul rematch Condit or fight GSP.
