Diaz vs Condit

[Mattyhitman]

I had to 5-0 for Condit. Nick Diaz was only landing minimal punches and was missing head kicks and basically just trying to piss condit off enough to brawl with him which didnt happen. Walking forward and calling a guy on doesnt get points from me, effective agression and movement does.

It was a very subjective fight, the is plenty giving the fight to Diaz, but personally I had Condit as the clear winner. He done what I expected Cerrone would of done against Nate Diaz. He used the leg kicks to keep the distance between them, and ya could see the frustration in Diaz. Although Nick kept moving forward and did had limited success with his striking it wasnt enough for me to win any of the rounds conclusivley.

I was also suprised that he didnt go for more takedowns. He showed in the last minute of the last round that he had that better ground game, almost getting the submission.

How good is Roy Nelson's chin by the way? that bloke has a head made of granite!
I think he should shed a few more pounds and make a run at the LHW division. He would make a greater impact there than the HW's IMO.

Did anyone see any of the prelim fights? The was a kid, well he's 27, called Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson making his UFC debut, If ya havent seen anything about him check him out!
Finished his opponent with a wicked punch kick combo! Apparently he hasnt lost a fight since he was 10yr old His kickboxing record is 57-0, Karate record of 64-0 and his MMA record 6-0, he's touted as the most accomplished striker in MMA today! Has a decorated Kickboxing record and held world titles. In 2006 Stephen was the #1 ranked fighter in Chuck Norris’ World Combat League. Check him out !

I saw the prelims and I saw the wonderboy land that spectacular head kick. The other guy never saw it coming.

Wonderboy keeps his hands very low due to his karate stance. Its a wonder someone doesn't close the distance on him and step in with a good left hook right hand combo. That'd be my strategy. But easier said then done.

His opponent just stood outside and got picked apart til the KO occurred.

Condit won with a great game plan, Diaz could not figure out how to deal with him. And now that he got busted for using I can see why. Dude is an idiot for getting stoned before walking in to fight someone like Condit.

You don't honestly think he was stoned before the fight do you? You do realize that THT stays in the body for up to 30 days and that he also tested positive for THT after defeating Gomi when he was the #1 LW in the world?

What Im finding very amusing is that boxing fans who have become boxing/mma fans (like myself) all have no trouble scoring this fight for Condit because of effective counter punching and movement. But DIEHARD MMA fans who want boxing to die all expected condit to stand there and go punch for punch and coz that didnt happen they say diaz won. Just something ive noticed.

Snakey,

I fall in this category " boxing fans who have become boxing/mma fans " but thought it was a close fight. I had it 3 rounds to 2. I didn't expect Condit to stand and slug but in the 2nd and 3rd rounds he was not being effective moving backwards.

I disagree. Diaz seemed to do more posturing than anything else. Condit was being active, Diaz was walking forward and that doesnt win fights in my book.

Probably not but then again I dont think like a thug so not real sure. And I did not know that about pot but will remember that information in case I ever decide to give it a try.
