Condit: Diaz hasn't earned shot

[PRIDExxFC]

I would agree with him.

 

[Swing the Axe]

etc etc etc

Eh, it's not even worth it. Diaz fans are completely irrational. I mean after all Nick really was on a streak beating a who's who of MMA, regardless of his loss to Condit. Undersized Noons, Scott Smith, 36 year old Sakurai, 37 year old Shamrock, Zaromskis, Paul Daley, and LW Penn. clearly deserving even if he did lose his last fight and had a suspension.

I'd call it a draw really, there was no winner in that fight. It was an abortion thanks to Condit. And you're oversensitive if you think criticizing the way the guy 'fought' is fighter bashing.

You and about 5% of the other people who watched the fight. But hey, everyone is entitled to a their opinion as irrational as it may seem.

 

[diazisawesome**]

Dana should of released Carlos after the Diaz fight.

 

[Peteyandjia]

lol. Diaz had 23 minutes to do something on the feet!

Yes Condit played stick and move and outworked him, but then Nick took his back in the 5th! And Condit swept and ended up on top

Don't know what else to say :icon_neut

Anderson, Chuck, Lindland, Miletich, a bunch of others thought Diaz won. It's one of the most controversial fights in UFC history. It's cool if you disagree with me, but let's not pretend Condit put on a clinic, it was a close fight. He rolled the dice with a gameplan that exploited the time limit. Not why a lot of people watch MMA. (or compete in it)

Make sure you tell that to Anderson and Chuck. I'm sure they will bow to your wisdom.

Continuously posting stupid ass gifs about running gets old. When you do it over and over, yeah it's coming close to fighter bashing IMO. But whatever, it's not like Condit rarely wins by decision, so we can just pretend he's a point fighter.

yes he rolled the dice with a game plan that exploited the time limit
- OR -
he tagged Diaz with all 8 limbs but Diaz just kept coming forward thanks to his granite chin

and i agree it was a close fight, although i thought Condit won it

 

[Suicide Season]

Condits needs to just keep running

You still seem quite mad mate... Be happy he's getting a shot at GSP and get over the past.

Already posted in another thread bro. But misleading misquote in the title.

Why do people keep saying this?????????????

Condit was directly asked by the interviewer "Do you think Diaz has earned the shot?" and then directly replied "No, not really."


Isn't that fairly black and white?

I must have missed the memo when they were the judges of the fight. Fighters have all kinds of opinions and yet they aren't trained as judges. Face it you're just being stubborn because you can't face the fact that your boy got beat. It's pretty simple. Condit didn't dominate that fight but he took Nick out of his game and clearly beat him.

Calling that pointfighting is an insult to pointfighters. It was shameless time limit exploitation. It's not like he was Machida, clowning Tito from the outside or something. He ate a bunch of shots to give a bunch of weak ones, rolled the dice with the judges, instead of going in there to stop Diaz. He never fought that way before. But hey, it's cool if you liked what he did. I thought it was horrible, and I was a fan before.

Nah that can't be. If that were the case Condit probably would have landed more strikes and I'm sure we would have seen that on the Fight Metrics. Plus if we thought that way, then we could post lame gifs.

I must have missed the memo where I'm supposed to care what the judges think.

Fighters have all kinds of opinions and yet they aren't trained as judges.

Neither are you. Neither am I. Nor does it matter. Great point you got there.

Face it you're just being stubborn because you can't face the fact that your boy got beat. It's pretty simple. Condit didn't dominate that fight but he took Nick out of his game and clearly beat him.

If Nick got beat I'd be fine with it. I was a fan of both going in. Condit didn't even try to beat him. Hence my (and many others') opinion. It's cool if you disagree.

And yet your still a fan of Diaz even though he didn't have the fight IQ to adjust to what Condit was doing, whined like a baby about the decision, stomped his feet and retired cause he didn't wanna play anymore.

Actually there was a winner and it was Condit. Diaz has a problem when people move around and don't just stand in front of him so he can punch them. Rampage has that same problem. If Diaz were a better fighter, maybe he could learn to cut off the ring instead of relying on taunting and stalking.

All that post-fight stuff you mentioned doesn't matter to me, I guess it bothers you a lot. As for "fight IQ", I thought he won anyway. Like many others. He also took Condit's back in the 5th, I'd say that was a pretty good adjustment.

You mean Condit didn't fight like Diaz wanted him to IE: getting into a brawl that would favor Diaz. I'm sorry man but you are really delusional. Have you already started a rough draft on what your excuse for Nick losing to GSP is going to be?

 

[Fat Abbot]

Diaz deserves the shot as much as Condit did.

It would be one thing if Condit decisively beat Diaz, but he didn`t, he ran and most ppl had him losing.
