Rewatch Condit’s body language being announced winner vs Diaz

[Chagaev]

I got over it.

Well you can't just be normal weed high and think Diaz won because I would have thought Diaz won then.....

Fine.

Where do i get this abnormal weed?

Lieutenant Pravitz came to my 6th grade classroom and told me that some of the weed would be laced with crack or angel dust.

He said it would make me hallucinate and see shit like cartoon dragons flying thru the sky.

Where do I get THAT shit?

I wanna smoke some of that Diaz 125 shit.

I scored it for Condit. Shit fight though. Still haven't watched it again.

Luckily Carlos made up for it by being in the greatest WW fight of all time against Robbie Lawler for the belt.

Im gonna go watch that fight right now

When I watched it live on the night, I thought Carlos won. After just now rewatching it for the first time since, and scoring each round based on the 2012 scoring criteria - Carlos at 49-46 is a no brainer.

Why was there ever a debate?

Also, whomever edited the clip in the OP had a real hard on for Nick Diaz.

Edited to mention the clip edit.

I just rewatched it for the first time. It was a much better fight than anyone gives it credit for. I think everyone's predetermined expectation of it being a slugfest overshadowed how good the fight was.

It's worth rewatching.

The only body language I remember is his hand being raised.

People can disagree on fights. I can see why people score it for Condit, I just disagree quite emphatically. I can see how you get there, its just not how I score fights. To me tho, its wild to be like "Condit CLEARLY won I can't imagine how you score that for Nick" really lol? You can't?

I agree its not a shit fight by any means. I enjoyed it both times I watched it.

Based on the scoring criteria at the time of the fight, Nick's constant forward motion basically meant nothing. The first two components of that criteria were effective striking and grappling, which are considered before anything else.

Carlos had the most effective striking throughout the entire fight, and there was no grappling until Nick got the takedown in the second half of the 5th round. Aggression (forward pressure) and octagon control never factored because the striking was never equal.

The only thing Nick showed through four rounds was aggression. Octagon control only matters when striking, grappling, and aggression are all equal; it wasn't even a factor.

49-46 Condit. I respect that you disagree.
