One of the biggest disappointments in MMA history was 10 years ago today

[Corrado Soprano]

Carlos Condit vs Nick Diaz was 10 years ago today. I really wish people could understand the buzz going into the fight. Fans legitimately thought it was going to be MMA’s version of Gatti-Ward or Hagler-Hearns. A lot of people were looking forward to that fight and telling non-MMA fans to tune it. I told so many people to tune in because it was going to be all out action.

When the fight was over, I was in disbelief. I felt more ashamed than I usually do. That was the last time I tried to bring fans to the sport. I along with other sherbros thought our prayers to The Just Bleed Gods were going to be answered… As a virgin living in my mother’s basement, that night was particular hard (no pun intended).

Diaz Vs Silva was 10x worst for me tbh.

Diaz fans still upset about a single line in a promo over a decade later.

Even more salty that their guy couldn't diversify and got picked apart effortlessly by a more skilled fighter. Its a shame. Nick was such a bad ass. Too bad a ton of his fans are so sensitive.

War Condit. War Nick.

I thought Condit won but I don’t think he ever fought like that before or after Diaz.

The least controversial controversial decision ever.

It was still a good fight we just expected more

Knew from the title this would be about Diaz/Condit.
100% agree. This was my favourite era in MMA, and for this fight not to deliver was really tragic to me.

Black beast vs ngannnou

I actually enjoyed this fight live and still do
Carlos fought a brilliant game plan and made Nick look frustrated and bad.
Maybe Diaz should have had a better strategy than just blindly walking forward and thinking his taunting is going to make somebody abandon all defense and engage in a brawl
Blame nick, not Carlos.

Black beast vs ngannnou

Go ahead and throw Mir vs Cro Cop in there too. At least it did end in spectacular fashion after lulling everyone to sleep.

It was a much worse fight, but I don't think anyone had it hyped to be good. So I would say it wasn't as bad of a let down.

 

[laleggenda27]

I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Condit showed great fight IQ. If anything, the fight seemed lackluster because Nick made zero adjustments.

Yes he did and he sent his greatest disciple to be the one to do it with the respect Diaz was due.

War Condit. War Nick.

He gives them the narrative to be like that, they're just repeating shit he says lol

Indeed he did. The "robbery" must have stung didn't it?

Yeah that fight was bad but that KO was actually pretty sick.

The most disappointing fight for me was Rashad Rampage. We had a group of guys from work who would get together for fights and that fight was so bad we never did it again. I was dating a new girl at the time and that was the first time I had brought her around my friends. I was hyping the fight up so much to her. She had never watched MMA.

First the Duffee Russow fight had her completely convinced it was fake and then the snoozefest of a main event had us all bored to death. It was an all around awful card.
