That is very unfortunate. The wrong person won. Do they expect Condit to go out there swinging this time around fighting Nickes fight or taking Diaz down and try to submit him or do the expect Diaz to work on his takedowns and his cutting of the cage now and figure out a way. I think they should let Gsp vs Concit and Diaz fight Martin Kampmann and then the winners fight each other. Thats only fair.
Its a fight…..not a running match, I agree condit out struck diaz, but that is because diaz was chasing him all night. I hate those kinds of fights…..reminds me of a mayweather fight
