Bloody Elbow

Lets figure this shit out now

So it obviously needs to involve some standard shit.

Joe Rogan saying: It’s in Deep! K-1 level etc. etc……
Goldbergisms
Crazy moves: Flying knees, gogoplatas etc…..

Anyone have some ideas?

Damnatio Memoriae - February 4, 2012 reply

Black fighters referred to as explosive or athletic

White fighters referred to as blue collar or hard working

I just thought that was average fighters that were referred to as that

Damnatio Memoriae - February 4, 2012 reply

Yeah, that too

The game I play every time I watch UFC fights.

If Mike Goldberg goes a full minute without calling any action, that’s a shot. It’s pretty brutal.

Holy shit.

Need a new liver yet? I know a guy.

gzl5000 - February 4, 2012 reply

Diamond MMA.

as far as i know, you take a drink everytime Goldie has to go to the bathroom

(this happens when Joe Rogan introduces the fighters on his own)

I haven’t been paying close attention to the lead up to this card. What’s the BE consensus on who will or will not be faded tonight?

ricker2005 - February 4, 2012 reply

The Fading will be legendary

but of who? We can’t seem to decide.

Damn yall

33 points and I thought I was doing well. Looks like my top 5 finish from last season isn’t going to repeat.

Rabbit915 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

53 pointz

my recap of the caceres fight is just as absurd as the fight was.

Well, KO and SUB OTN are already settled

Yeah, Thompson and Poirer are gonna be hard to top

Not once Condit wins by elbows from the mount

elbows from mount wouldn’t be nearly as impressive as that kick….

Unless nick gets a gogo

Jeremy Couturier - February 4, 2012 reply

hows the Bastards doing tonight? 59so far for this donk.

yellyellyellyell

I hope they end the pre-fight video package of Diaz/Condit with Diaz filming himself in his car. “Fuck your motherrrrrrrr”

Baba O'Riley going off

Man I wish I was in Vegas right now

Dana could not agree more tonight, Joe

So excited, he uttered Fedor's name on FX.

36 points, 5 pf which were gifted by Edwin Figuroa's nuts.

That was 42 times better than the old one

I like it!

I could have watched another 5 minutes of that

How much did that costÉ

WOW that intro was good

New intro:

I would’ve liked to see some subs in the highlights though.

never seen this guy clifford starks fight

he any good?

I hope not

In short, no.

Good wrestling, not much else.

good at having giant lats

Heard he was kinda shit

and had a shitty first fight in the UFC, wasn’t sure why he was on the main card, but UFC likes to throw on a random fight no one cares about

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

psychoblack told me to pick him. I heard his wrestling is pretty good so I hope he wrestlefucks his way to a UD

I wonder if Rogan is still alive after his spasm.

Bring the Pain remains? WTF.

If they replaced this song with the old NBA on NBC song I would die happy.

Only the greatest song ever.

I loved the intro thingy ! whoooo

INTO PIECES!!!!

Fantastic opening

Hans Zimmer phoned it in though.

He had nothing to so with it

It was his company. Big difference

Rabbit915 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Ahh. Faux-Zimmer

pretty cool that Condit is getting a motorcycle too!!!

You mean Cesar Gracie right? Right!?!?!?!?!

So Cesar Gracie will be riding a Harley soon thats pretty sweet

I can’t remember the last time I was so excited for a fight. I wish the first 4 fights would just go away.

Rogan's screamgasm and hearing Face The Pain again after the new intro made me want to turn this off.

I’m so done with MMA.

promise?

then you remembered who was fighting in the main event

Dunno if it's a uk sports culture thing but face the pain intro seems better to me

Always seemed like it defines what kind of sport this is, separates it from the other more coporate-ised ones

So fickle

I can't imagine Nick on a Harley he'd prolly think its to weak

better than a honda

“Where’s the peddles man?”

"The fuck is this two wheel shit."

"See what a guy's gotta do to get some wheels?"

I don’t know how this two wheels shit works, I didn’t go to school to learn that stuff

Way to diminish the lustre of this fight

‘No matter who wins, GSP is the best’

They already have your money for this fight. They are already building the next WW title fight

Good point

FUCK ALL OF YOU

cable is down..kill me

Werdum Dec
Nick Diaz TKO

Both are gonna be over quick.

Don't spoil it.

WE ARE CARLOS CONDIT

Holy fuck, I’m nervous.

me too hahaha

You really dont like Diaz

he is growing on me

slowly. he has been pretty reasonable this week

Thats cool at least youre not one of those “I hate em and will always hate em” type fans

I have guys/girls like that.

Not sure about your children’s sex?

I see what you did there.

Alas no, fighters male/female that I’ll always hate.

never

Frank Mir is really growing on me too. And i goddamn really hated that guy cuz BROCKLESNAR!!!!

+1

He’s been really solid lately

Same here. I used to really hate Leben but he’s grown on me despite his hot hot urine

Your article was fun

I can’t remember the last time a HKL piece got 100+ comments.

The last time someone posted the link on BE

i didnt cheat like that

dont worry

I’ll check it out later

atta boy

Maybe I’ll get my roflcopter comment greened, then. Man, that was one of my favourite trolls ever. I wish he’d written a fanpost.

i brings out the trolls

i meant every word i wrote, too. I am happy to see him improving his demeanor. it has to be tough for him but im happy he is trying

I agreed with almost everything

And I’m a Nick Diaz fan.

baby steps is fine with me as long as they are in the right direction

na na na na mean?

I used to hate him despite Bay Area ties

But once he stopped fighting in hospitals and complaining about his losses to wrestlers, I did a 180.

he is just acting decent this week

that is all he has to do to get me on his team

I'll let him know

you dont go out that way, Playboy

you are bay area proper

me 3. Love watching both guys fight but I’m a Condit Fan

I actually like face the pain intro now

The tears are delicious! New intro was meh…. todays tech and thats all they got?

Starks has a tiny head

Bobby Lashley-like is the head of Clifford Starks, Joe

Deceiving jab?

Is that like a WoW skill?

nah man SWTOR

Sounds dangerous

I don't think anyone doubted that Herman would wreck Credeur

Herman about to get wrestle fucked

I hope

Not true

I think the staff were even split in two on that one.

pretty sure I picked Credur as well. Wasnt Herman coming off a huge layoff? and wasnt he a ginger?

Yes he was (but so was Credeur, I think), and YES he was/is.

Was SBnation just down for a minute?

the prospect of MMA without my blog blankie was unbearable.

yeah that wasn’t cool at all/

Yeah, I think we’re good though. I got scared for a few seconds.

Yeah It's just not the same w/o the community

hope to god there is no lay and pray with this new guy

Bam! Back

INEPT roll call!

Who’s here? I won’t last the whole main card (it’s fucking 4am already) but I’ll stick around for a fight or two.

You CANNOT miss DIaz Condit sleep be damned

Best name on BE man

Logged in for the first time in weeks and had to give you props

He's an architecht

Thats just what I have been telling people

Thanks man

the spam eggs bacon and spam doesn't have much spam in it.

I'm there!

Pull the all nighter man you can’t miss Diaz Codit this is going to be nuts!

I'm nursing a cold

With cognac, weed and MMA. I might just fall asleep all of a sudden.

No better way to nurse it. Beer and weed for me.

His control is excellent

because he throws 1.5 punches per minute from top control.

i hope this guy is more jon jones than phil davis

He’s far from either, I can assure you.

Just looked up TUF 3

Because herman was on it. Man was the talent on that weak.

Rabbit915 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

the good ole days of shamrock thinking he could beat tito

good tune Ed Herman

Honestly he is a huge huge oprah size douche in person

realyy?????

Cereal douche

Life by the drop?

Herman by smash.

How much latitude do fighters have in choosing their entrance music?

No hardcore screamo emo crap. Only rule.

What about racist country music?

idk

You would be surprised how bad it is

Listen to some of the stuff the brazilians come out to. No way Anderson is down with that.

Rabbit915 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Now I'm having Herman buyer's remorse

Starks is a tank.

me too

I picked herman round 2 sub..thinking its going to be starks by decision though.

Nah

Starks doesn’t have much to offer… I hope…

I kept gwtting the Jackie Chan confused look. :/

Just sayin. Without cruelty of course.

ur night is about to be ruined

Starks used to bodybuild as well

Looks like it

Watching MMA and Boxing at the same time is as awesome as it sounds

That said Herman by quick sub

Herman is bleeding already

New Clock! This changes everything!

They ran out of money to change the song due to the clock!

Is that a new time clock?

Gonna have to avoid the board during fights...

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

OH SHIT

I didn’t even know you could pull off a flying Twister!

is Starks really gonna Lentz him?

Stark and Park?

i like it

I went through the whole alphabet trying to get a decent ryhme. That was th best

Short fuse is pretty damn easy to hit

A big red target

both guys are landing clean bombs

This fight would have been great on FX

I hope this Crown will be good to me tonight

Crown's always good. Every night.

I'm tryin to find a good whisky/bourbon

I was on Jack for a long time, trying Crown now

Shots, Rocks, By itself, or mixed?

Mixed

Not much of a straight liquor kinda guy

Black Velvet my friend! (see username)

Havent tried that Canadian drink since high school I do remember that its cheap as hell

Not so much anymore. $10 a fifth. Used to be 6.99

Ten bucks is a damn good deal for a fifth

As far as mixed whiskeys go, Canadian whiskeys are always better. Lighter, sweeter. By itself, American bourbons.

Correction

By itself, scotch. Mixed, canadian.

I love the single malts personally

I don’t put Scotch with Bourbon or whiskey.

Thank god

What Scotch do you like?

My top 5:
MacAllan 1930s 12yo (smooth and full)
Lagavulin 24yo double matured (tastes like medicine but awesome)
Highland Park 12yo (most drinkable single malt I’ve ever had)
Black Bottle (an outstanding blended Scotch (I know, it’s not kosher to mentioned blended whisky))
Laphroig 12yo (just all around awesome)

Not when I used to pay 7, homie!

Only thing I ever bough for $7 was Pancho Villa and that was in high school

Price isn't a big deal really

but I’ll look into it after I finish this bottle

If your looking for some quality but on the cheap

Try Seagrams. Good in between type of whiskey and their upper level is good too. I had a few manhattans with that to start the night off and feeling good.

Rabbit915 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Haitian rum is my new friend as of tonight and it costs nothing if you know some people from Haiti

Herman looks no bueno

yeah he looks like doodoo

I really wanted to pick Starks

I think he had an underdog bonus too.

AGENZDAFENZ!!!!!!

Ed Herman is not a nice man.

just missing those uppercuts

LOOK

CORN NUTS!!!

Winning the battle in the clinch is Ed Herman

Ugh stfu Goldie

Boxing is better than MMA at this very moment.

Como?

Vazquez Donaire

Which, I'm sure I'd say the opposite if Diaz vs Condit came on during the JCC Jr. fight

but man Donaire is awesome.

Donde estas el sanitario? Thats right Encino Man bitches

Hell yeah

Whoo! 1 fight down

3 to go until the only fight that matters.

Fucking a round off again. Haha I’m missing 11 points by some bullshit margins tonight.

7 points liked that trip!

Well Shit

I only have one more gamble on my predictions in Pierce.

11 points and one of my parlays lives

i have picked every winner so far (thanks to some wonderful judging and penis head kicks)

same

I should be sitting pretty at 66,

but instead I have 55 because the fucking judges are dumber than Matt Riddle

55 is still mighty fine with me

Checked again, I have 57 and I'm fucking pissed.

Well, not really.

hey even better!

Parlay one complete. $13.

I mean, I thought C-Murder sounded soooo baddass…

I can't get over the fact that you picked the WOOO guy.

Except Una scored a team-high 60

At UFC 142. kingofthedogs is disappointing tonight, he was a first round pick (but apart from this event, the only first round pick that lived up to his draft pick)

fuck that

Stiff was 4th until the last event

Stiff Jab might be the most awesome pick of the draft (no shit)

EVERYONE else would’ve picked crazybones but Stiff Jab has been better.

yeah

Crazybones has been impresive but theres no way he could repeat his performance. Plus Stiff likes AD

Smart drugs.

very nice

RUDY RUDY RUDY

Isn't Rudy in jail or some shit?

not sure

that would be amusing though

Samwise in jail would not be a good thing

Not in jail, but a douchebag it seems

Ruettiger was charged in a civil complaint on December 16, 2011 by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a scheme to deceive investors, using a pump and dump stock fraud, into buying stock in his sports drink company called Rudy Nutrition. The SEC announced that he agreed to pay $382,866 to settle the case against him, without admitting or denying the charges. According to the SEC’ s statement, the “scheme’s promoters engaged in manipulative trading to artificially inflate the price of Rudy Nutrition stock while selling unregistered shares to investors.” The SEC’s statement also noted that “Investors were lured into the scheme by Mr. Ruettiger’s well-known, feel-good story but found themselves in a situation that did not have a happy ending” and that “the tall tales in this elaborate scheme included phony taste tests and other false information that was used to convince investors they were investing in something special.” The SEC later suspended trading of the stock and revoked the registration of the stock in late 2008. Rudy Nutrition is no longer in business

benten20 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

WTF

I have 53 too. We’ve had nearly identical scores this whole season.

only miss the hot bout?

I got my first hot bout, actually.

which fights did you miss?

Decision for Riddle. I picked the little guy who no one else picked.

I scored 11 on Herman, Dustin and Brown, 7 on Riddle, Fig and Thompson. Fucking Hot Bout.

52.

I fucked up the original spreadsheet

The SUM doesn’t take the Riddle fight into consideration (because the last event had 10 fights and this one has 11). You’re at 59.

All the numbers were wrong, or just his?

All the ones I posted on here

Were correct. I changed my own version as soon as I saw that the Riddle fight didn’t change the scores.

But yeah, every player’s score was wrong in the spreadsheet (you just need to edit the sum fields).

You missed your girlfriend reffing before, bro

I saw her rubbing short fuse down...

I’m done with Kim…found a hot chick who loves MMA…who’s on her way over right now. So, I’m gonna disappear soon.

Cyborg coming over?

I said HOT

and CHICK

Bryan Caraway?

obvi

Yeah, but Cyborg's now off the main juice

How was that acid?

awesome

liquid on sour patch kids

Ever mess with the holy grail of dmt?

I have not.

I’ve done peyote and mescaline, but never encountered dmt. Lately, many people in my life claim to have encountered and tried it, but I just don’t believe that they got their hands on the genuine article. I would do it in a second. It’s quick, right? Like under 10 minutes? Have you?

Its amazing the guru himself McKenna is what spurred my interest it makes everything else so mild. Mescaline buttons were my best friend senior year

Also

beware of the fake shit lots of it going around on the east coast

I know.

very skeptical. dudes are synthesizing it in basements in astoria. Any hints on how to spot the real shit?

Price is the first thing that will tell you if its the real deal or not the stuff I smoked was orange colored crystals and you must must have a babysitter

Or just come up here to Toronto and buy some ayahuasca in one of the head shops. Ayahuasca and peyote are legal in Canada, and can sometimes be found in some of the better shops in tdot.

DMT is in a league of its own

Ayahuasca is a blend that usually incorporates DMT-containing plants. It’s not manufactured DMT, no, but the effects are similar if they are mixed professionally.

I have tried some synthetic shit that was a DMT blend and it was nothing like the real deal but maybe I need to make a trip to Canada just to be sure

I mean, it’s a blend of plants. Like, boiled plants that contain DMT that you drink.

Oh you drink it? Even more doubt now

It’s like a peyote brew. DMT comes from plants in the Amazon, at least it did before it was synthesized.

Just a drink is less effective at least in my experience

I can see that. It’s just the traditional way to take it.

Really? Any links or sources for that? Seriously curious

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayahuasca

Will read after the fights. Thanks man

No worries. Next time you’re north of the border try it out.

Will do. Or I will order off the internet

We just got C-murdered.

there's something oddly welcoming about this comment

contributing to this may be the fact that i’m at home

benson!

this fight is going to be sick

Please Barao by decision.

no

barao sub round 2.

Scotty's a hard mutherfuker to finish.

Sammy Hagar special

well that makes even less sense if I reply fail.

so fucking amped for this fight

I flipflopped on this fight like 10 times

I think this fight could go either way by any outcome.

Winner gets Bowles?

Everyone cool with that?

if Barao wins he gets a shot

Faber gets the next shot. After TUF. So Barao’s gonna have time on his hands.

fuck forgot about that.

Bowles coming off a loss though? Who else is there? Torres?

Torres is set up with Mcdonald, I believe.

Michael McDonald yeah? Im thinking Torres takes that

thats a step down

Who's better at 135 not named Cruz or Faber?

Joe B and DJ are 125. Mizu and Wineland? The gatekeepers?

thats the thing

its a crappy spot to be in

Bowles got handled a bit too badly by Faber.

I like Barao because of his Strahan-esque grill

The fuck are these scores coming from!?

I’m at a pitiful 39.

I kinda like Jorgensen’s tattoos, as opposed to every other mma fighter

Cool shoulder one.

I’ve got Spotty by decision. Why? I don’t know.

I am going to go make a white russian in honor of Jackie Treehorn

Is this a Ratatat remix?

Barao by hitting the other guy really hard.

then submitting him

It's 3:30am, pitch black and 2 foot of snow in places

And I went out to clear the snow off the satellite dish so I can continue to watch UFC.

Don’t doubt my dedication.

you mised ESPN advertising UFC on Fox 2 coming up live next weekend

Yeah, that was cute.

Better not be trolling ...

Otherwise, it’ll come on again soon enough. Wait, haven’t we just had UFC on Fox 2? Or is that official 1, with last year’s being ‘zero’

No it had Davis/Evans and Maia/Bisping. Unless I’mdrunker than I think

Ah. Must be a replay.

Carry on …

It said Live though

Snow

I fucking miss snow. I think I’m going to visit a state that has snow.

we have like no snow here

its fucking depressing

Winslow's apologizing in advance for letting Barao

snap his arm off before she breaks them up.

She'll let him snap his arm off and beat him in the head with it 5 or 6 times before she steps in

AND THEY STAY THERE!!!

Good song for Barao.

Fuck, Barao might take this.

I hope scotty is as durable as I think he is

I need him to get mollywalloped for no fewer than 15 minutes.

I'm not a fan of airbrushing...

But they could have airbrushed Jorgensen for that tale of the tape.

what the fuck for?

Fuck that

I would be insulted if they did that to me

his skin doesn’t seem as bad now. Maybe its just cause im not watching in HD..its not as noticable anymore.

And make every 10-year old with that condition feel just so wonderful about themselves.

you're watching him in the actual fight, right?

I hate Ed Herman.

Hope barao smashes this dick now tho.

Joe just made me think this guy is really good, am I going to be disappointed?

no

nah

dude is legit

Barao sub 1.

You're at 59 points

I fucked up the spreadsheet slightly (see above comment).

You mean TKO 2

7-0, 56 pts

WHOA

I should have picked Barao

Damn that spin kick was scary

So I'm not too familiar with Jorgensen

He’s one of those guys who gets better later in the fight right?

Jorgensen’s strength is his GNP, I’d say. He’s got great cardio, but I’m not sure if Barao is going to drop his pace or not.

hes also got a good chin

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

Damn this guy is sick

I love this fight already.

great TDD

Barao is jabbing the shit out of him

Gettin spotty wit it

135 Jose Aldo? Are you shitting me?

so fucking stupid

Everyone is Jose Aldo or Anderson Silva in some way.

or Machida

the American Machida

If you practice Karate

you are Machida

You’ve got to love it. Anyone that knows Karate is Machida.

Jorgensen is the 135 Jon Jones.

the 135 Michael Clark Duncan

Barao is going to fuck Dominick Cruz’s face right off

yep

where’s Joe Son while that’s going on?

Getting f'd in the face

And drinking terlet wine

Mmmmm... fermentation....

Cruz must fight Torres first

Jorgensen doesn’t cover his head much

Jorgensen is getting his leg chopped off

Barao, physically and facially, looks like tiny Vitor. LOOK OUT, TAVARES!

I was thinking tiny Pedro Rizzo

Also very acceptable.

C'mon Renan

Barao's hands are sloooooooooooooooow.

Nice kick and Goldberg says nothing

he was prepping his corn nuts line

Honestly are you shocked at all?

A robot has got to robot.

Corn nuts: corn to the core

Best sponsor ever.

10-9 Barao

Scotty is a gamer. Renan is a beast

10-9 Barao

two more rounds like that, Renan. Don’t over exert yourself.

easy 10-9 for Renen

That’s not Joe Warren, is it

It's him.

ok i belive in Barao man 10-9

10-9 Barao

Once again, I love Joe Warren as a corner man.

Meat, potatoes and fucking head smashing.

I think he's awesome.

Always gives really solid advice.

1 round down and two to go cmon barao i want 11 more points

benten20 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Is there any other corn snack that even exists?

I wonder how much more the nice folks at Corn Nuts would have had to pay

to just be “The Official Snack” of the UFC? Whatever it was, it probably would have been worth it. Don’t go cheapo with your sponsorships.

“The official corn snack of the ufc”

Did goldie just say september

beerdo - February 4, 2012 reply

GIMME THAT SUBMISSION!!!!!

GIMME A SUB, BARAO! JORGENSEN PULLED GUARD

Fuck me Barao is good.

Damn, UFC really no-selling Sexy vs. Shields. Nothing on the video, nothing during plugs.

The TV cant handle the sexiness of that fight

Its like GQ and Hollister are putting on a fight

I want that round clock to be on the right of my screen, and twice as big

…like the old clock.

Tickets are still available at the Saitama Super Arena

Lol, Goldie

The only head movement Jorgensen has is when Barao punches his face back

Posture up and pound his face Barao

30 fight unbeaten streak? UFC talking shit again?

its honestly 27

thought so

Isnt it the longest undefeated streak in MMA though~? Really no need to bullshit

Isn’t it like 28? Almost all of them are Brazilian nobodies though.

41-1 Rashad Evans doesn't see what the big deal is.

73-34-5 Melvin Guillard thinks he sounds like a wuss.

instarec

Dude

He’s now 47-1. Get it right.

Probably a record built up by his managers

Good fight so far

I cannot believe Goldie didnt call that a teep!

He does teeps at home alone

just so he can call his own teep.

lol

damn

probably should have picked decision.

I'm surprised you didn't.

Scotty’s very hard to finish.

so is Brad Pickett

2-0 Barao

20-18 Barao

Scotty looks pretty dejected

20-18 Barao

Don't finish him Barao. Please!

Alright, my UD pick is looking good so far

Jorgensen is a gamer

Odds on Werdum turning his fight into an absolute snoozefest?

80%

I hope so. I picked him by decision!

Two talented BJJ black belts meeting in the cage?

oh yeah, we’re in for some crappy kickboxing.

That doesn't matter to Werdum.

He’ll butt-scoot around the cage for 3 rounds if that’s what he has to do in order to suck all of the fun out of a fight.

wtf r they doing to his nose?

Pulling up the front

Telling them what a little piggy he is.

Scott Tenorman is a cornerman

It lets more oxygen in........

for real????

No, probably not

lol

Scott needs to fucking finish for me to get any points now.

not good

Not dissopointed so far. Guy is lighting Jorg up on the feet, lots of clean punches to the face and some great spinning kicks.

Barao nice head movement and kinda faking alot with one hand and punching with the other

Does look a little strange though

10-9 Barao

Scotty really likes a superman punch

Barao might be too slow for Cruz, but I’m still interested. I don’t think Cruz has fought anyone with good kicks yet.

he has more power than anyone hes fought as well IMO

Oooh in-fight stat graphic

Me likey

Agreed, it’s a nice touch.

I still haven't seen it. I seem to look away every time it pops up.

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

Time for that submission, Barao

one more round barao take a unanimous decision please!

benten20 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Jorgensen always wins the last round.

Not this one, I guess.

ELLENBERGER!!!!

He will beat GSP one day.

Right after Diaz

Diaz won't beat GSP

Ellenberger would crush Diaz, anyway.

Shenanigans

When was the last time Diaz beat a really good wrestler with power like Jake?

Don’t worry. I’ll wait.

Don’t worry I’ll make you wait

There is nothing to suggest that Diaz can beat Ellenberger.

Shhhh my 209 love will not be supressed

thats some ugly punches

dandeman - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Impressed with Barao’s TDD

Not impressed with his handspeed, however.

Going to get him in trouble as he moves up to face a higher level striker.

hes not the quickest BW. But he hits hard. And has a real diverse attack, can defend the TD and is a beast on the ground

All true.

Fights start on the feet, though.

you dont think Barao could KO Cruz? Or rock him and finish him on the ground?

If, for some reason, Cruz happened to bounce into one of Barao's punches, then sure.

FOTN so far

nah man

Caceres / Figueroa

no

i bet it is

unless Diaz and Condit absolutely go off, which is likely

What about the Riddle fight? Didn't Dana shit his pants on twitter about that one?

probably

it was a garbage decision

Unreal that the shallowest division in the UFC, Bantamweight, now has THREE gatekeepers.

I don’t think BW is much worse than FW or HW. MW is right there as well.

Diego "The Dream" Sanchez

He really should change it to “Dirty.” It’s totally worth it.

I’ll co-sign this

I'll rec this

Barao can take a shot

Just too much for Scott

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Barao cruises

30-27.

Good fight

Barao is awesome

Yeah, fun fight.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

that should be 11 more points in the book.

Goldie now thinks reading out fightmetric stats is calling play-by-play.

yeah

Shut up goldie

Better than his play by play.

Renan 30-27

Got a bit sloppy at the end though, looked like they were both tired

bah

only 5 for this.

30-27 Barao

fuck ya 11 more points!! that makes 76!

benten20 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Once again

Kudos!

thank you!

benten20 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

30-27 Barao.

That should be a UD for Barao.

That makes five perfect fights and 80 points overall.

If the judges fuck this one up too, I'll die inside

There's no possible way to fuck this up

I've thought that before.

that would have been a tough one to screw up

Scotty had nothing

Come on robbery! Or at least a bullshit split decision so you motherfuckers lose points.

I'll take 5

halitosis - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

A lot of people are doing as well as I am or better but I doubt everyone in the top 25 can match my score.

Rodgers outperformed Brees in almost every statistical category.

One good game by Matt Flynn should not deter voters.

What? LOL

You’re high: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/stats/byposition?pos=QB

I'd say it was close

Brees has an arguement from statistical standpoint. Watch 16 games from each and I can’t believe Rodgers loses it. He plays less quarters makes less throws an yet is more important to his teams success.

Rabbit915 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

oh snap gsp is here

security is going to be crazy in the cage if Diaz wins and GSP walks in

When Diaz wins

Hoping for another decision here.

Pierce to beat Kos

Please?

This

He could very well steal one round with a knockdown, and outwork Koscheck in another.

ooooh

are we getting an awkward GSP staredown after the Diaz Condit fight?

Hope they have security on hand.

He said he didn't wanna go in but if the UFC made him then obviously he will be in there

KJ Noons is a beautiful man

he doesn't even have the worst douchebagface of the two people in this fight

srsly

I picked Kos to win by UD, so...is that a jinx xonsidering my night?

it better be

You picked Condit, didn't you?

first round murder

Picked Werdum?

UD

Total opposite of my picks.

Is it possible... that Josh Koscheck is an ancient alien?

Unless, it was ancient aliens…

Is it possible?!!?

Well its not impossible so yeah totally

I loathe that guy.

He’s never made a lick of sense in his life.

I think someone's Hair is jealous.

Watch his older videos on youtube

Giorgio!

My family was watching that on tv and I did my hair like his and walked into the room and said “Aliens”

I can see it

this is wonderful

"He's on fire!"

So.

AKA fighter with a wrestling-base fighting against a reasonable prospect with heavy hands after a major injury in the last year.

One-punch KO at 0:01, obviously.

That’s some reach advantage for Pierce

so many people picked Kos based on name recognition...

they’re about to get a lesson in bias….

I had pierce originally but switched to kos..ah well

Kos should be able to wrestle his way to a decision,

will he? We’ll find out.

I picked Kos too, but it’s something like a 60/40 chance for me.

Picked Kos, but I bet heavy on Pierce.

I put $1000 on pierce and have him in my parlay

This sucks

I gotta cheer for Koscheck

koscheck going bald?

Only just noticed?

Gotta be all that stupid dye.

Someone should stop pissing on his head

stop ruining good music Kos

That song never needed to be covered

least of all by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

WAR KOSCHECK

Improved striking?

He got tagged by Hughes for most of the first round, and Hughes isn’t exxactly K-1 MAX material.

You clearly don’t recall K-1 Hughes.

That eye injury from the GSP fight may be affecting him in the striking aspect

SOmething to aim for

OMG a kimura!

ITS DEEP

OHHHH he lost it

cant even express how mucht that fight should have been called earlier

Hopefully Pierce numb's the other side of it.

But I had it 10-10 for cereal.

what I like about Kos is if hes losing the stand up

He wont feel bad about a bit of lnp

sweep the leg mikey!

This crowd is douchie

Kos's boxing is such poop

but

hes the most improved in UFC history?

He's got a big right hand that he throws from two counties away.

but his boxing is ass.

true

His head movement is pretty poor

keeps his hands low

doesn’t throw jabs, doesn’t defend well, just all around crappy.

Pierce is winning this

Pierce is very wide.

He’s got the strangest body type next to George Sotiropolous

Seriously, that left eye of kos is twitching and blinking alot

Georges fistfucked his brain

It wants out.

Kos needs to take him down

Nope. He ducked under a strike to get that one. They’re very even when they tie up.

I'm pissed, I got Pierce at +200, and he's up to +250 in some spots

Pierce is damn good

I like this fight

Dean is mad at Kosh.

herb dean is insane

uh oh

this could be a point

TAKE A POINT AWAY

Take 2 Herb Dean style

big surprise

Kos with some cheap shit.

should of been a point off

should have*

Sorry but this really annoys me

nice open hands Kos. take a fucking point or two

Where the 2 points at?

How the fuck does he not lose a point and Alex lost TWO?

Pierce didn’t sell it enough.

He should've rolled around on the canvas

He should have gone down like a sack of potatoes, and he would have gotten that 2 point deduction

Hasn't herb ever seen the eyepoke of doom b4?

That should have been a point.

Yep

Come on Kos, just a minute to go

SHIT

Holy shit, Herb pissed Koscheck off.

So close…pierce ud let’s go

Afrotikiman - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

fuck i hate this

Cacares: 2 points, Koscheck: 0 points.

What the fuck, Herb? You feeling ok?

He's done that twice in the fight

it’s worked both times. He should have been doing it from the first minute of the fight.

FUCK OFF HERB DEAN

Kos and Riddle should start training together

29-28 Pierce

29-28 kos

mike pierce wins

30-27 Pierce

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

Kos UD por favor

SD on its way me thinks

But Kos takes it

C'mon judges

keep the drive alive.

Robbery forthcoming

YES

Most def.

That was a good elbow at the end

Hurt Kos w/ it

Probably Pierce's decision

It should be

He earned it

Yeah, I think he should've got the nod.

I've got 30-27 Pierce...

But this could be ANYTHING….

29-28 Pierce

James Brady - February 4, 2012 reply

29-28 Pierce

I expect 29-28 Koscheck, 29-28 Pierce, and 30-27 Koscheck

THIS

30-27 Pierce

agreed

30-3 Pierce

That's a little cruel... only 3 for Kos

29-28 Pierce

name recognition is gunna save kosh's ass

29-29 draw.

Betcha Kos steals it with the takedowns and the flurry in the 2nd half of the 3rd rd

Pierce should win

but koscheck might get a split

Good call

29 28 Pierce

his eye is bad from Kos fingerbanging it

That swelling was from a punch before the poke.

Pierce vs Story next plz

I'm really tired of fighters like Kos/Riddle not fighting to their strengths

Wow robbery

shit fucking bullshit

WAT NAU!!

these judges blow

Lame

Yep.

Thank you, shitty judges!

YUS!!

THIS

my parlay’s still alive

Mine died

real money or mmaplayground

unlucky pierce

but not a robbery

Total robbery

too close to be a robbery

I don’t see how Koscheck won, but not the worst decision I’ve ever seen. It was bad, though.

ROBBERY

Worst robbery of 2012

There’s no way. It was a close fight.

you really don't like Koscheck huh?

Fraggle robbery Im ok with it

wow

fucking brutal

absolute fucking bullshit

Bad

Afrotikiman - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Bull shit

fuckity fucktards

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

7 points _. DEAL WITH IT!

boooo

They robbed me of 13 points

me too

There went $10,000 worth of parlay money

Yuuuuuup. Me too.

Plus 3 Gs on Pierce solo.

Same

ouch

it was koschecks 2 takedowns that stole the fucking round lol. fucking judges

that’s some awful trash talk. deal with it man!

Hahahahahahahaha

Just flips off the crowd

W00t

7 more points for 73.

Let’s hope that the last time I have to cheer for Josh Koscheck.

73 as well

WE ROLLIN’

Word

any sense how the rest of the team is doing?

Andy seemed to be doing well earlier on

Havent heard from the rest but I’ll check their scores after its over

easy 29-28 for Kos IMO

You are blind

Afrotikiman - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

i don't think i'm blind, but i'll take your comment into consideration

I though pierce won the 1st mostly through clinch work, then i gave koscheck the 2nd and 3rd, for doing more on the feet, and getting more takedowns that pierce.

http://hosteddb.fightmetric.com/fights/index/3770

Doing more on the feet = missing?

Afrotikiman - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

check the stats man, it was a close fight

Kos outlanded Pierce 14-12 in total strikes in the 3rd, and kos landed 2 of 3 takedowns compared to pierces 1-5

i scored it this too

But i was totally biased and have no problem with scoring it for Pierce

Don't have a problem with that.

I had the first round a draw and both of them splitting the final two rounds.

Close fight. No robbery.

Definite robbery

James Brady - February 4, 2012 reply

I don't think you know what that word means when it comes to MMA.

No.

Very appropriate in this case. Pierce landed all of the strikes of any significance, Kos “stole” rounds with pointless takedowns.

halitosis - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

The crazy thing is, I wouldn't even call it the biggest robbery of the night

what is

they are booing the decision not you, douche

I'm riding high at 93 points.

For real?

You’re killin it

Points are things I give myself when I do something awesome.

I’ve done 93 awesome things today. One of which was not being part of a stupid civil war.

Not buying it

Haha, alright Maddox

damn

X5-452 - February 4, 2012 reply

I don't agree with the decision

But its definitely not a robbery.

It's a robbery because I'm sure they gave it to Kos because of those two takedowns

James Brady - February 4, 2012 reply

Deal with it.

Hahahah, they’re SWARMING Kos.

i don't care what anyone says, i'm a koscheck fan

hahah they're booin the shit out of him

Close fight, not a robbery, but I thought Pierce landed the cleaner strikes

Koscheck vs. Hendricks please

hell yes

All wrestlers that think they're strikers should be sacrificed to JDS

legit lol

Yus!

Boooo

In my opinion, this is why MMA will never be exciting for some people. Koscheck one the fight by taking Pierce down and hugging his legs. That’s fucking stupid and it’s not fighting.

JakeHopkins - February 4, 2012 reply

This x 2 years + Pride rules = fewer robberies, and wrestling being exciting to the just bleed crowd.

Yay, 1 more fight until the fight of the year

Fucking robbery, but the judges owed me for the Figueroa debacle

benten20 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

I want to see a million things about Kos ruining MMA because he flipped off the crowd.

Keep it real, Lesnar haters.

Don't be mad.

you didnt even watch the fight dude

Who could hate Lesnar?

lol

Bud Light ad execs maybe maybe

they prob do

Hello Meisha

7 points.

71 overall.

64 for me

WAR DALEY!!

Says the UK mma man.

I’m shocked.

I don't need no excuse but

U not see the strikeforce promo?

I did.

Just poking fun.

wait, whut?

is he in the house? I missed it. Also.

WAR SEMTEX

Another fight closer to the title?

Is Rogan high? No one wants to see GSP destroy him for a THIRD TIME.

Miesha Tate

Chronic bitchface, always.

Yeah, what’s up with that? Rousey by armbar!

She looks like Eli Manning with a rocking body.

looks cracked out

really broken down and miserable

Miesha looks a mess

Patrick Hughes - February 4, 2012 reply

As close to a robbery as you can get

Without it being a robbery. Bad decision but two very close rounds.

It's a robbery and Koscheck should've had a point deduction

Herb Dean totally blew this.

Two separate things

It wasn’t a robbery by the judges but yes, Herb Dean ABSOLUTELY should’ve taken a point.

If Pierce got poked in the other eye too, he would've won via UD.

Yep, don't want to sound crazy but

the second Kos poked him I thought he was doing it to mess with Pierce, ends up getting the takedown, wins the fight

How many shots did Koscheck actually land? I am certain the judges gave him the fight in the third because of the takedown. As I said earlier, this i s why MMA will never be popular in my opinion.

JakeHopkins - February 4, 2012 reply

Compustrike should reveal the disparity in head strikes.

it can be popular if we get better judges in

its not an intrinsic issue

Split decisions, man, they're ridiculous

duck - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Another BS decision

Yay! No points!

halitosis - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Regardless of this decision....

Koscheck’s stock is falling in my opinion. He’ll never hold a title.

Yeah

he’s topped out.

Florian like in his lack of titles is Koscheck, Joe.

Definitely seems to have lost a little on his fastball.

Not has much energy.

Maybe that eye injury really took something out of him.

Wouldn't have complained if either of them got the nod

Certainly no robbery

lol @ Roy's braid

Nice to have Werdum back in the UFC.

None from Koshcheck for holding shorts, the cage, and eye poking. This shit is getting too close to pro wrestling when guys like this win.

“Deal with it”

Well Koscheck wasnt on official for reals double secret serious warning probation

Zing

at 44pts, I've given up on my picks

Now just watching for whatever fun I can squeeze out of shitty judging

We get it

Werdum beat Fedor

my pick is Werdum UD

but I wouldn’t mind a first round Burger King Bomb from Nelson, cause it would be rad, and because I don’t want to wait another 15 minutes for the big show.

Losing for the first time... or not...

Werdum vs. Nelson is going to be a shit fight

Absolutely shit fight.

Old pro-wrestling trick

You set up the main event with a match that won’t strain the crowd so that they’ll be hot for the main event.

Who is fedor

Some shitty Russian can

It’s “Ai Si Eu Tu Pego” btw

mmartsy - February 4, 2012 reply

Well this is fun

Werdum deserves to win based on his walkout music alone

2nd

werdum by unanimous dec please

benten20 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

LET’S DO DIS HOY!

They always talk up what great submission artists fighters are...

Werdum has 3 submissions in the last 10 fights (5+ years). If that’s the best submission artist at HW, that’s just sad.

It’s Fedor inflation. One Fedor sub is worth like, ten normal subs.

It's simple economics

I suppose they’re referring to skill and not results.

then they should say he's the best grappler

Frank Mir would take exception to that though.

he could take exception to the submssion artist thing too

given how he snapped nog’s arm

also mir said werdum was the best grappler at hw this week

Did Goldie really just say that Werdum had a good fight w/ Overreem??!!!?

He did have a good fight with Overeem. The first one.

so much cock

cock guy

Good to see Werdum in shape again.

This fight is gonna either be very entertaining

or a new level of awful.

Brazilliann Zydeco

Atomic Salmon - February 4, 2012 reply

For some reason I think Roy will put that right hand onto Fab's chin

The other part of me thinks about how Monson was drilling Nelson with clinch knees, and thinks that Werdum will dominate from the thai clinch.

GO HORSE!!!!!

Werdum by Decision.

Come the fuck on!!

i am really surprised with so many people calling this a robbery, it was a close fight, i don't see how anyone can argue that

I think a split decision was the right call. I would have been fine if it went either way

MERICA

Fuck Ya

Haha Bruce

haha awesome

fuck it, I’m officially rooting against my pick.

RIP Weird Al walkout music

nice tune Roy

he looks homeless as all hell

like Tito Ortiz dressed a homeless man

#Occupy Big Country?

Roy's shirt is fucking awesome.

How much does he weigh?

246 yesterday

Nooooo, he's changed from Weird Al's music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serum has mad confidence he beat overeem and was not scared against supreme

Luke Thomas-esque in his beard is Roy Nelson, Joe

WMMA-esque in his braid is Roy Nelson, Joe

should be cornrowed

he should've cornrowed his beard

holy shit

He looks haggard as fuck tonight

I love it

And Matt Roth pisses his pants in excitment for Springsteen

Jersey dude

"Roy Nelson is a true champion"

Actually, no.

IFL never die?

Eh.

He probably still has the IFL belt somewhere.

Gettin' that Punishment Athletics money

Born in the USA

Real original against a foreigner, Roy. Nelson looks disgusting.

Jesus. Did Roy beat your family or something?

Jesus. Did Roy beat your family or something?

Probably nawed on the bones after.

OH THATS GOOD

So much hate going on here.

Roy beat you to the dumpster dive?

Roy has a K-1 level belly

Roy has a World of Warcraft hair getup

WAR WARBRAID!

Never ceases to amaze me how few people realize that this is actually a protest song.

It’s Springsteen’s fault. It’s not even a clever protest song, it’s just poorly executed and confusing.

My girlfriend in regards to Roy Nelson: “He’s offensive in every way. I love him”

Send her over to my house, then.

She’d love me.

FAT BOY CAN JUMP

I hope Werdum throws him by his hair

like that Bruce Lee character in that old fighting video game.

Werdum by hairbar

lets go big country!

Big country's slimming down, change his name to developing country!

He’s giving off that lumberjack feeling right now

If he gets all the way down to LHW, can we call him Third World?

I’m terrified of the potential awfulness of this Nelson-Werdum fight.

Kung-Fu fighter???

I’d rather be a Shaq-Fu fighter

The grey in the beard is such an excellent touch.

The UFC needs to start hyping up Roy Nelson’s Kung Fu background.

Kung Fu Panda Nelson

Rosenthal is in.

here comes the pain

Rosie's not nearly as explosive as Herb Dean

is he actually a kung fu fighter or did Roy just tell him to say that?

Cause nothing about his style makes me think kung fu.

I believe you have an input for that bit of information, so Nelson said it as a joke.

werdum cant strike

lame usa chants make me miss Brazil

USA USA USA!

Die in a fire, rubes.

If Michael Bisping came out to Born in the USA I'd mark the fuck out

He'd become my favorite fighter ever.

I would never root against him again.

Chunk fu

Dat Nelson-balance.

God damnit I hate the USA chants any time it's an American fighter vs. a foreigner

Imagine if Roy actually used his Jitz in the UFC

He's more a positioning guy than a sub guy

So much for awesome BJJ

great call, Rogan, you goof.

Roy is a jiu jitsu black belts

Why is it so shocking that he got back to his feet?

Not all black belts are created equal.

Werdum is one of the more proven Heavyweight BJJ players, so it’s less so about how good Roy is and more so that he escaped at all.

FOTN

Nice clinch

You see...

when facing someone who can knee a hole in his body (Reem), Werdum actually likes to clinch.

*who can't knee

Big welt on Roy's left love handle from that kick.

Werdum is impressive tonight

Werdum looks like a beast right now

HOW dare you compare Werdum’s clinch to Anderson

Yeah very fucked up comparison

HAHAHAHA

“This is as good a clinch as we saw in the early days from Anderson Silva against Rich Franklin.”

Goldie hits a new low.

he leakin

soakin’ wet

C'mon Werdum I want to see Werdum/Reem II

then watch it?

In the UFC

good cover

Nelsons face is a mess

U mean there’s strategy

FOTN right here! For now.

It’s just a placeholder for Diaz/Condit.

If that wheel kick had landed then you woulda been lookin at your KO of the Year

Roy Nelson has a rock head

It's that million dollar smile

10-9 Werdum.

Good fight.

Why play possum Werdum?

You were kicking his ass

Rabbit915 - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

tired prolly

Why the FUCK didn't Werdum do this against Overeem?

gzl5000 - February 4, 2012 reply

because striking

Because intentionally clinching with the Reem is how you die...

Overeem's a bit more dangerous in the clinch than Nelson....

Initiate the clinch? Because Overeem is pretty good there and a little stronger than Roy

Reem is a scary fucker, Roy Nelson's a teddy bear

Oh man

this is just gettin me hyped for Condit/Diaz

you arent hyped for CONDIT/DIAZ??1

I am but somehow (alcohol) I had forgotten about it.

For Diaz Condit, I’d lay off the liquor

Yeah fa sho

Werdum gassing?

.....a very slow anderson silva maybe

Fkn Goldie

Werdum reaching for that clinch. Not good.

Werdum just standing in front of him hands down.

Shit!

dont get cock, Werdum. Roy might ko you.

Werdum v. Mir

I want it now

Tag out ROY!

I want Barnett vs Mir

Can’t we have both?

for real

also Barnett v. Cain

fo sho

Also Cain vs Werdum. HW interesting? Who have thunk it?

for reals dude

Just thinking the same thing. Have to do it if Werdum holds up. For number 1 contender after Overeem v. JDS?

Hey Roy.

Maybe you wouldn’t be frustrated if you had more than one striking weapon.

gzl5000 - February 4, 2012 reply

Fabricio Werdum

Fight ends in round 3

Submission / Tapout

Why keep attacking Roy's head

20-18 werdum

werdum needs to take this to ground and stall

the american zombie

That's Chris Leben

20-18 Werdum

But Fab is gassed.

I still love this fight 20-18 cock guy

but Roy is game as can be. Roy has hurt him in both rounds.

Werdum making things interesting in the HW division.

Happy to see him in top form. Especially with his striking looking so crisp and improved.

agreed on all accounts

20-18 Werdum.

Werdum should take this to the ground

I think Roy can still KO him

Roy has a fucking gully over his eye

Fuk it pull gaurd

At least it looks like Werdum’s guaranteed himself another appearance with this WAAAAAAR!.

Roy as well

I don't think either of them were in a lot of danger in that shit sandwich division

but yeah. Great performances.

If Werdum had put on a shit show, the possibility would’ve been there methinks.

I still dont think Dana is crazy about Werdum

Roundball Rock is playing in my head right now

and it’s fucking awesome

Much better than commentary btw

HE LIFTED HIM UP

werdum is making my stomach churn

I need this win.

fotn so far?

why not

Absolutely

that first round was stunning.

fo shiz

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

Hell yes

Yeah. Sucks for them that we have another fight coming up.

MOM!!!! BATHROOM!!!!!

Someone toss a bat to Werdum so he can put Roy down

Stat overload n the commentary ere

LOL!

Werdum just pointed at Roy’s belly for a distraction.

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 4, 2012 reply

Lol yeah, awesome stuff. “Hey look a distraction!”

Did Werdum just try to catch roy with a “you got something on your belly”

lol yup

crappy fight is crappy

both these guys are moving sooo slow

but i guess this is typical for heavyweights

nice try werdum you sneaky bastard..

This is OURRRRR BIG COUNTRY

Werdum should keep pounding that leg kick

what weight did Roy weigh before?

How much weight has he actually lost?

at least 15 lbs i think

not to be a dick but Roy should be sheeding more pounds than that

progress is progress man

true that

cant be hating. But if he truely put his mind to it he could lose a lot more

for sure

Didn’t he used to be around 265?

Simen - February 5, 2012 reply

Am I the only one who would want a Pride-rules Fujita V. Nelson match?

This fight is going pretty much as expected

u got a Fabricio UD?

just like me

me too

I have

Yessir

Me too

kinda thinkin a bit more more on the ground though?

Roy Nelson wouldn't want to play on the ground with Werdum and Werdum's a better striker

Well, that's why I though Werdum might sub him on the ground,

Guess i underated Werdum’s striking and roy’s unwillingness/toughness for groundwork

no

maybe

30-27 Werdum

Hoo

Rah!

5pts

Big Country is one tough SOB, but Werdum earned that decision.

Werdum looked huge next to Roy.

y u fuck with my emotions

woah is that a cut between his eyes?

excellent Smithers

No way Werdum did more damage than JDS. What are these two smoking tonight/>

Yeah, Junior kicked WAY more shit out of Big country

Busted up nose vs countless huge shots to the dome

Roy really needs to work on his Thai clinch D

29-28 werdum

last round all wrdum needed to do was just stand off like he did and kickbox at range, did so

Sorry, which round did Roy win? The third?

30-17 Werdum.

It wasn't THAT dominant.

that's a bad cut

My sixth perfect fight!

off topic question

whats the deal with Daniel Cormier’s situation. Is he still fighting in the tourney or is that done because the UFC absorbed the heavys?

imissnoch - February 5, 2012 reply

tourney is still on, but they have to wait since his hand is still healing

I might be crazy but I thought I heard they’re looking for April/May?

fight was orignaly scheduled for March 3rd, but Daniel had to wait so April/May makes sense

I think they’re waiting for his hands to heal before they book the Barnett fight in SF

Holls Hoyce - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

Him and Barnett are going to fight in SF, and then the winner one fight after that also in SF, if I understood correctly.

who is the last guy to KO Roy Boy – Arlovski!?

yup

off a crappy standup.

The myth that was Fedor

Is Dana feeding Goldie lines?

Now people will start hyping up Werdum

Then will be stopped when they say

“He should fight for the ti-…..oh”

Werdum is like a giant Monchichi

I love that dude

75 points now. another solid night for me, if I nail the Diaz pick I’ll be so happy.

Jeremy Couturier - February 5, 2012 reply

nice!

sweet night for the Cheick Kongo of BECW i hope

fuck ya 11 more points!! that makes 92!!!

benten20 - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

I AM FUCKED TONIGHT, GUYS...

NICK DIAZ WILL GET KTFO’D IN THE FIRST ROUND.

FUCK.

Bullshit.

WAR DIAZ!!

I picked Diaz so...

I certainly hope so!

im cool with this

Fuck this next fight is gonna sick

87* I count my pierce by UD as a victory

Afrotikiman - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

if anyone deserves it...

This is a ridiculously high scoring event.

so stoked

last main I was this excited for was probably Silva-Belfort.

10 for 10, 93 points I think. If Nick wins, I win my third and final parlay for $27.

Tim Bernier - February 5, 2012 reply

10 for 10 as well

But there have been some close, odd calls haha.

AwkwardBoner - February 5, 2012 reply

Yup, 93

See just above.

And good work on the parlays! You’re killing it everywhere tonight.

Youre still awake!!!

Barely!

On my second (generous) dose of weed, and I’ve had almost half a one litre bottle of cognac.

You're fucking killing it, good job!

98 points

Killing it for the prospects. Good work son

Thanks man.

WAR PROSPECTS!

Need Diaz to win...

And I win all three of my parlays. Only miss was a straight bet on Pierce.

This must be the highest scoring event ever

I feel like everyone is kicking ass

It's like all chalk

has an underdog won yet?

no

every fighter that has won had the majority on PG (assuming Diaz wins next)

Pierce. (In spirit, at least.)

Pierce

plz save this invent for me condit

thirdparty - February 5, 2012 reply

Welcome back, Werdum

Don't give a shit about what they are saying

let’s get to the fight already

this fight is going to be fucking nuts…corn nuts, official snack of the ufc!

The best corn snack of the UFC!

Holy fuck, I'm rocking back and forth.

Goddammit, Condit. DO THIS.

It’s okay, I’m silently screaming to myself.

I picked Diaz to UD him.

I think I may have jinxed him…

You dick.

I would lose my shit if Goldie said that

I really think Condit is gonna catch Diaz and put him out

Diaz has been in trouble in most of his recent fights.

WAR CONDUIT

Go Carlos Balboa

Put one on his chin Carlos

In order to love fighting.... I HAVE TO HATE IT

I’m guessing Diaz means that he has to push himself to his limits, to the point of mental torture, in order to be the best he can be, and to enjoy the benefits of being at his full potential.

Was it just me or did

that sound like Nate Diaz saying that? Or maybe it was the quote just before that one?

JakeHopkins - February 5, 2012 reply

Well, there’s video of Nick saying it on the primetime show, so

did they edit the promo to have him say where you at Carlos

yes

More excited than if GDP was fighting either ot

Big Country gives me hope that with minimal training

I too can run out of gas 2 minutes in and get my butt whipped for a pay day.

amazing chin though

Did they just dub Diaz's voice?

“Where you at CARLOS.” When would Diaz have called out Carlos? That was during the GSP fight when he still thought he’d be fighting GSP right?

JakeHopkins - February 5, 2012 reply

Yeah, they did that for the promos. Hilarious/

I'm extremely ambivalent about this fight.

Because I’m about to watch Nick Diaz win. Again.

Bleh.

I'm so hyped right now

YEA

Looks like SOMEONE'S sucking up to Uncle Dana...

I'd be 11 higher if they go the Riddle fight right.

i got 7 because of the bogus decision so yay

I benefited off of Kos/Riddle bullshit

i was un-benefited by that one

Evens out with Caceres/Figueroa

Pierce would have been 13 pointz

i'm 4 for 4 so far w/ my main card picks (8-1 overall), lets go Condit!!!

quiet killer

Condit has some swag in the walk out

I feel like I’m going to explode

Ok gotta pay attention.

only commenting during breaks, and after Nick scores the KO

condit seal the deal for me unanimous decision i want to get over a 100 points for the event

benten20 - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

Rage!

So far I'm 9-1 into my picks for tonight...

If Condit wins I’ll be 10-1. How is everyone else doing?

RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWR

Come on Diaz, keep the dream matchups coming

Overeem, Sonnen, and Rashad all took care of business for some amazing title fights on the horizon. GSP-Diaz would be better than all those, though.

It's the battle of the two guys who beat a brit in their fights before last!

ROAR!

lol awesome

condit via nipple poke

Deftones – awesome

WAR DIAZ

Deftones. I love you Nick Diaz

I would have preferred 7 words or Head Up but whatevs

It’s a draw for walkout music if Condit came out to Leonard Cohen’s The Future he would take it all the way

And yet, here comes Diaz to a song about Vitor’s murdered sister.

I mean, WTF?

It’s about Vitor’s wife, not his sister.

rabrown - February 5, 2012 reply

Blue22AMD has to be so pissed off that Nick is fighting for the UFC Welterweight belt.

Did anyone see that rumor on another forum about Condit being "sick"

he sort of sounded like it during a couple of interviews

but I don’t know if its cause i read it and it made me paranoid

he dont look sick

if he is

he better hopes he finishes it early cause he wont be able to last 5 rounds at diaz’s pace

MUAY THAI!!!!!!!

GO CONDIT GO

what no Sagat or Adon

Diaz wore jeans in the walk out?

Nick Diaz is so "Anti-Est"

that he is covered in corporate logos!

How is he supposed to earn cash, then?

So that's why he's still in a busted Honda.

Hondas don't grow on trees

if they did nick would have smoked his car

you're right

that dude is basically an investment banker.

I'm seriously freaking the fuck out right now

yeah

that awesome pre-fight anxiety.

That was the first time I've expreienced that... usually I'm good on fights

this is what its all about. Lets

indeed

War Diaz

Looking to break triple figures with a third round tko

Stiff Jab - February 5, 2012 reply

fuck yeah

Damn, we cant even decide who wins the song battle

I AM MARKING OUT

Diaz is so unique – says Joe. He doesn’t even use zippers on his sweatshirts, and wears jeans during his walk out! ALCATRAZ

Fuck the Super Bowl

This is the sporting event this weekend.

VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL

Does Diaz have world class BJJ? Not a sarcastic question – I’m just wondering if thats some standard Rogan hyperboly

He doesn't have grappling credentials

But his mma jitz is definitely very good

Watch the Gomi fight.

Simen - February 5, 2012 reply

Uhh, yes.

legit BJJ

Go Diaz

209 is in the house!

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

im nervous

Fuckin Cecil Peoples and Mazzagatti

these guys had the 2 best walkout songs of the night.

Cecil...

Doubt it goes to decision.

I'll see you guys in between rounds

Agreed

Yup

definitely

I'm calling mazzagatti in the second

He might very well ruin this fight

If this ended in 10 seconds it would be the worst thing and the best thing ever

If Condit wins by KO/TKO my $0.25 11 leg parlay will return $6000. It’s a shame Diaz wins a decision.

I just slid my sleeves up past my elbows

I’m ready

MY NIPPLES ARE LIKE DIAMONDS

Like the fact that Condit is avoiding the Diaz pressure game.

Stop leg kicks Carlos

Diaz 10-9

10-9 Diaz

10-9 Conduit

10-9 Condit

Beautiful, taunts and all

10-9 Diaz.

look-no hands!....punch!

close round..

10-9 209

10-9 condit

Keep workin those kicks

Too much Stockton swag 12-1 Diaz

Eh...10-9 Condit?

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

Uh huh, love how the leg kicks are throwing him off a bit

10-9 Condit

Finally someone using leg kicks against Diaz…now if only someone could use them against Bones….

Cyborg did before he dove headfirst into a takedown.

people forget cyborg tore diaz legs up

you're nuts if you think that's what the score is.

10-9 Condit.

10-10

This is how I expected Cerrone to fight!

10-9 Condit

Really tight round. Condit using leg kicks like Cyborg did.

10-9 Condit, and the leg kicks are just going to keep coming.

10-9 Nick

Carlos had no offense to speak of

really?

yes really

y’all have all watched enough MMA to know he didn’t win that round on the card of any judge currently living.

if it was a boxing match maybe

the must system not made for that round

Diaz looks off

compared to his previous fights

He's a slow starter

10-9 Diaz

Condit is landing those nice leg kicks but is constantly back peddling and can’t get anything else going still nice leg kicks

10-10

Or 10-9 Diaz

10-10.

At least Carlos understands that he doesn’t want to exchange punches with Diaz. The pressure’s still making him nervous and swing wild.

Cecil Peoples don't score leg kicks

10-9 Diaz. Maybe.

10-10

I think Condit is in his head.. he already seems frustrated

Invention - February 5, 2012 reply

Has bones ever been on his back

Not in a fight.

Didn't think so

I really don't see how Diaz could have possibly won the 1st round

It was either 10-9 Condit or 10-10.

He landed more

And kept up constant pressure

your hate is strong

nick walked him down, landed far more shots, landed harder shots and controlled the action.

I guess that's why BE scored it for Diaz, too.

Must be the hate.

Maybe not harder shots but definitely the other things

he is really pounding that leg kick

god i hate diaz

God I love Diaz

but the bitch slaps!

AWE.SOME.

God I am indifferent towards Diaz

well played sir

Condit is on his bike all fight...not a good look for the judges

Frankie Edgar wins fights with all kinds of movement like this.

Cruz too

Carlos did zero work on head movement.

At least he’s frustrating Diaz a little with the running.

If you're fighting Diaz

And you’re not just taking him down and stalling, you are an idiot.

Condit needs a masterclass on legkicking from Aldo.

Still, he’s 20-18 on effective striking so far.

hahahahaha

dream on

4th missed spinning back fist elbow

20-18 diaz

19 all

20-19 Diaz

10-9 for 209 in this round

10-9 Diaz

20-18

This is interesting.

Diaz actually looks quite frustrated.

20-19 Diaz

1-1

19-19

I’d say.

Simen - February 5, 2012 reply

Nick is in his head

20-20

Carlos is backpedaling too much.

No idea. Let’s say 20-18 Diaz.

what the hell is this taekwon do condit

20-18 Condit

He’s doing a Machida – in and out faster than Diaz can counter.

good point dude

Condit doing well with the kicks.

10-9 Diaz

20-19

Diaz is frustrated.

Carlos is peppering in some Kalib Starnes on offense

Georges is going to wreck either of these guys but goddamn im so happy that fight is happening

20-18 but could see it 19-19

Diaz

20-18 Diaz

but those leg kicks will add up soon

20-18 Condit.

He’s making Diaz miss.

20-18 Nick

20-9 Diaz

damn dude

last round condit, not sure the 1st

I have a feeling

this is going to decision and EVERYONE is going to score it differently.

Lot of kicks for Condit.

Could zap cardio going forward.

20-18 Diaz, could be even.

Scoring all over the place here and on Twitter.

If this goes to a decision it’s going to be a shitstorm.

so much this

yup

this fight is going to bring the drama

this i the new Shogun/Machida

where's harold lederman to give us a definitive scorecard when we need him

A Greg Jackson fight go to decision no way

not this shit again

because effective game planning is horrible, right?

fuck you android app.

El_Ee_Oh - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

Carlos doing well

Except for Diaz’s left straight. Still landing hard against the fence.

Nick bleeding?

i think so

Condit needs to nut up and stop running like a little bitch

dajulzta - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

Slowing down? He's been cycling backwards and side to side the whole fight

shut up goldy, we dont care about his family

just talk about the fight

Rogan clearly thinks Condit is winning

its damn close but i think he is right

You picked condit, though.

uh huh

Everyone sees whatever they want.

My bro is telling me Diaz is winning.

Diaz is winning 209-12

Fuck I gotta piss

They are really slurping off Condit

who wouldn't want to? :)

i totally agree joe rogan can be annoying like that

Nice combination

29-28 diaz

Still have Diaz winning this round

29-29

Close fight

29-28 Condit

29-29

10-10 1st
10-9 Diaz 2nd
10-9 Condit 3rd

Same.

3-0 Diaz

Not at all.

That was Condit’s round.

What fight are you guys watching? LOL

30-27

Condit’s the only one with anything actually going on in terms of landed strikes. Might not be pretty, but this is a sport not a cockfight.

2-1 Condit

Brilliant game plan

this

the game plan won this fight

30-27 Condit

But who knows how the Judges have it.

Condit 3- zip in my book

Yea I think I have Diaz 3-0 but I see a ton of different scores

29-28 Diaz

29-28 Condit

Diaz is the better boxer and it’s showing, but Condit is doing a good job of avoiding the volume strikes and landing a ton of leg kicks.

This is super interesting.

Didn’t think Condit had a chance, but Diaz looks off his game.

he is off his game because Carlos isnt letting him get on his game

Because Carlos always had a chance and people who wrote him off like gzl5000 must not watch him fight.

I've watched plenty of Condit.

I’ve watched plenty more of Diaz. Carlos’ shitty boxing defense (it’s still shitty, he just hasn’t stood around to have it tested for once) plus his tendency to stand and brawl played right into Diaz’s hands. It’s the Jackson gameplan and a willingness to run for the first 2 rounds that has him ahead.

Well yeah.

That was the implied sentence I skipped typing.

30-27 Condit

Landing more strikes. Diaz is talking shit more than he’s actually throwing at this point.

29-28 Condit

Man, this is a good fight, so tense

29-28 condit for me

Diaz has landed the better shots imo

but Condit has landed a lot more

Here's the thing

Nick is snapping his head back every round, and Condit is walking backwards. That was the closest round yet. But I will bet any amount of money that the first two, and probably all three rounds are Nick’s at this point.

10-9 Condit

29-29

Order the Jackson Point Fighting System only 3 easy payments of $39.99!

But wait, there’s more!

If you order now, we’ll throw in a free Leonard Garcia edition lucky rabbits foot! You’ll never have to worry about judging again!

Jackson should have Bones teach "how to finish fights" to all the enrolled students at that camp.

El_Ee_Oh - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

Scores are all over the place

THIS IS AWESOME

Let’s say 30-27 Diaz.

I think it’s a good strategy for Condit to get in and out, but it doesn’t add up to the most entertaining style matchup.

Biggest disparity of scores I've ever seen...I don't think anyone can keep their bias out of this haha

Yep.

i think diaz is winning this fight

its close, but condit hasn’t even phased diaz yet

29-28 Diaz.

THIS

30-21 Diaz.

You can't be winning a fight by playing Starnes

Period. Condit is running the whole fight.

I agree

Cant show your back that much and be given rounds.

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

how do you not back up when youre facing diaz though? Its either play smart and stick and move, or stand in the middle and trade bombs.

Condit backing up and running away from the cage is a bad look

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

Sticking to the gameplan

He is attempting and landing alot more strikes though

shin kicks

that aren’t phasing diaz

Scoring alot more pts though

And those are endurance sapping shots more

True, but how does that look to the judges?

Condit is obviously trying to win by points, which is actually a very smart gameplan

This reeks of a split decision if it goes the distance

If Diaz stands in the center and doesn't move

Condit wouldn’t be able to hit him because he’s backing up.

I think Condit would love that actually.

He just doesn’t want that cage behind his back.

Condit's workrate is awesome. Winning him the fight.

NIIIIIIICE leg kick

On yer bike young lad

A Greg Jackson decision

KICK combinations, KICK!

GSP vs Condit @ UFC 148: Ultimate Point Fighting

Sport, not a spectacle. Amazing, that.

GOLDIE ON BE?!

El_Ee_Oh - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

I'm not watching the fights

but the main event must be a good one since the “JUST BLEED” fans are bitching about it.

El_Ee_Oh - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

Nick has stopped throwing punches.

He's been throwing less and less after each round

and just trying to taunt Condit.

38-38

condit dominated that round.

Dominated is the wrong word, he out pointed him with no significant damage landed by either

3-1 Carlos Condit

Nick has to stop him

40-36.

Diaz hasn’t had anything meaningful yet.

Stick and MOoove

3-1 or 2-2

GSP vs Condit is going to be so boring...points vs points me thinks

This is spectacular.

I’ve never seen Nick Diaz so frustrated.

39-38

10-10 1st
10-9 Diaz 2nd
10-9 Condit 3rd
10-9 Condit 4th

Herb Dean just took four points away

Nick should have brought Kaleb Starnes in to spar for this fight

3-1 Diaz

I know you want him to trade and fight

but to compare what COndit is doing to Kalib Starnes is completely fucking stupid.

I think Condit's gonna get the decision

Diaz clearly frustrated

all hail carlos condit

the running champion!

40-36 Condit

First round that wasn’t close. Condit all the way there.

nick's aggression fading

39-37 Condit

Condit says he's a warrior, I see a punk ass Dominick Cruz dancing around

3-1 diaz

i guess this is what happens when his opponent dosen't want to brawl with him

39-37 Diaz.

Kind of frustrating to watch.

GSP-Condit

is going to put a lot of people in a coma…

10-9 Condit

39-38

38-38

Haha GOldie shutup

I think condit loses because of octagon control

He owns none of the space.

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

3-1 Condit

Diaz isn’t landing shit anymore.

I'm getting nervous

Genius strategy, too, by Jackson

38-38

Once again

THIS

you mean guys just aren’t going to stand on the fence for me any more?

Fucking Carlos Conduit gonna take this fight

Good job Condit

You turned a fight everyone thought was gonna be fun, BORING!

this is an awesome fight

One guy LITERALLY

running away from the other, SO FUN!

lol u mad

Yeah, he mad.

Nick is busted up

Perfect strategy from Condit so far

Whatever the outcome, Condit did not come to fight.

He came to run.

dude thats bullshit

I see a lot of running around and missed spinning back fists

agreed on that

boooring

mmartsy - February 5, 2012 reply

look at Nick's face

beat the fuck up

he was born that way

real ugly

Diaz is the most beaten-looking fighter ever. Even if he wins. Just saying, that isn’t criteria for winning or losing in a Diaz fight.

You mean he didn’t come to stand and bang he came to fight

Diaz has to finish. Watching this, I don't see how he would even threaten GSP.

I thought Condit was exciting...he's been very anti-fight so far

Natural born ?

Condit's doing his best to make this boring, but he's doing well I guess

What good does it do to have a sense of urgency when the other guy is running away?

Yeah

This is a track meet

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

They figured out Nicks game

dont be mad homie

I picked Condit

Bit I wanted a fight not a track meet.

Just stop, dude.

You want some cheese with that whine?

Why is Diaz throwing kicks

i cant believe this would be boring

Leave it to Jackson to take a huge steaming dump over yet another highly anticipated fight.

Emphasis on the word “fight”. Not seen much of that.

Fighting, that is.

very GSP performance from Condit

Born naturally

Brilliant performance by Condit.

Look at Nick’s facce and tell me he Carlos just ran

Nick's face always looks like that after a fight.

Ever hear of Chael Sonnen?

Yeah, it really was brilliant.

I’m so glad that Condit fought like a professional, and didn’t get sucked into brawling.

I really dislike when Goldie and Rogan only call when one fighter's strikes land

Wow

Welp, my stream just took a dump

metoo

Shit man, I have no idea.

Should by Condit by at least 3 rounds to 2, but with Cecil judging…

Conduit takes it!!!!!!!

the dude did KICK COMBINATIONS in one of the best fighters of his category

and people say it is a boring fight?

exactly

Diaz isn’t owning him, so the excuses are already flowing. Ignore it.

FUCK YEAH CONDIT!!!!!

Condit won. Clearly.

No, he might have won but this isn't clear for one or the other.

If Diaz wins UFC fixes fights

Afrotikiman - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

Nope, it's a close fight.

condit by 3 rounds to 2....phew....

very interested to see the judge's cards

draw?

…

condit won the fight

i’ll never pay to see him headline another event.

48-47 Diaz

Eh, I give it to Diaz

48-47 Diaz

YES

what combination?

gif me!!!

Mr.Zhang - February 5, 2012 reply

No idea who won

But I bet this gets FOTN

I bet Carlos gets fucked here

The crowd will go nuts

If he does, I will rage.

everyone who’s talking shit about this fight doesn’t know anything.

Shutup

Unlike you, master.

Fuck off with the absolutes

It was a close fight.

I'm not saying it's absolute

i’m just tired of seeing people say that Condit lost because he wouldn’t brawl with Diaz.

I think Diaz has this but idk man

benten20 - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

I didn't pay for it and I'm pissed

That was Condit's fight

Do your thing, Cecil.

I say 4-1 or 3-2 for Condit.

Diaz didn’t land anything.

i honestly feel like condit won every round

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

/man-tear for Condit. Great ’bout between the two fighters.

Condit should hang up his cleets

Cause his form is shitty.

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

YES!

Condit

Yes!!! justice..

ya buddy!

LOL @ all the people scoring this for Diaz in this thread.

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

word

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

FIIIIIIIIIIIIINALLLY!!!

Fucking Condit takes that shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad

My god

Judges got it right.

Condit wons

wins

That was definitely condit’s fight

Afrotikiman - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

Haha what a terrible fight

Yeah. Terrible fight cos Diaz lost. Clearly.

That was a fantastic fight. The gameplanning was amazing. Condit is an awesome fighter.

Dude

If every fight was like that, no one would watch MMA, end of story

as soon as i heard a 49-46 i knew it

Me too

i dont like it

Diaz looks surprised….

Clay Davis - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

Christ

GSP/Condit is going to be AWFUL

GSP throws jab

Condit runs away

Condit throws kick

GSP runs away…

CARLOS CONDIT – NEW INTERIM WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION

boo this man.

fergler - February 5, 2012 reply

HOLY FUCK!

I JUST SCREAMED LIKE A LITTLE GIRL!

Fuck that shit!

Backpedaling and playing defense doesn’t win you fights! FUCKING ASS!!

If you HIT THE GUY MORE THAN THE OTHER GUY

YES IT DOES.

No but landing more strikes and harder strikes does

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic

Condit outstruck Diaz tonight.

Well done, Carlos.

StrikeGrappling - February 5, 2012 reply

Wow!

I never thought someone could carry out the gameplan to beat Nick! Patience, awesome technique and beautiful footwork.

Love it!

i i can see that

Annnd that's one more card I won't be ordering this year.

Condit pulled a Dominick Cruz

and it worked.

That was more Frankie Edgar than anything else

In and out, in and out, in and out. Awesome strategy. Loved watching him frustrate and beat up Diaz.

As a long time Condit mark, I’m fucking happy. =)

79….92* pierce robbery

Afrotikiman - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

it was a close fight, no matter how many times you say it the Kos vs Pierce fight wasn't a robbery

i don't see how Kos could possibly have won that fight

he got boxed up, bullied in the clinch and only landed a couple of last minute takedowns that he did nothing with

Combinations and stick and move

that’s how you stop Diaz

Except, he didn't stop Diaz.

He out-pointed him.

That's still a win.

Not saying it isn't.

He didn’t “stop” Diaz, though.

You mean stick and sprint?

There were multiple times when Conduit literally RAN AWAY

He moved away from a dangerous position back to the center

That’s not running away, that’s getting yourself in a better position.

…and then he backed away from the center again when Diaz simply walked towards him.

Condit ran away without a doubt. However, he did win the fight because he landed a lot more than Diaz.

paythefighters - February 5, 2012 reply

Nick Diaz is a volume puncher.

If he just hits 2 punch combos he won’t win

You were backing up and trying to win on points, no we weren't entertained

No Carlos, we weren’t entertained.. you came to run, not to fight. Fuck that

The game plan to beat Diaz

Land a couple of strikes in a round and get on your Starnes backwards bicycle.

True, but it only works because Nick refuses to check leg kicks, or throw them.

More like completely whoop Diaz' legs and bust up his face.

Diaz cuts easily

So I don’t take much stock in facial damage. Fedor is a great example of this.

Not arguing, just saying.

I wasn't just going by facial damage,

but by the amount of punches I witnessed Condit drilling Diaz’ face with.

His head kicks landed more cleanly than any of his punches did

Barring that counter left hook that seemed to stun Diaz.

Yes, Condit did drill Diaz with some nice high kicks.

He was landing quite a few punches when he was coming in for some kicks.

beatufil technique does not equate to leaving the striking range by a multiply of 5

That was a clear victory for Condit. Diaz was out-done, for sure.

lol

nick throwing his hands up in the background like he won

I don’t have a problem with Condit getting the win, but it wasn’t much of a fight.

This

Condit proved he has the gas tank and skills to beat Diaz, but I don’t like his chances vs. GSP.

Ha, nick in the background raising his own hand

Wow.

UFC

where fighting is discouraged

gsp is pissed

I would be to.

Jackson Point Fight System just cost him millions of dollars probably.

The hype for Diaz/GSP would have been off the charts.

*too.

lol at upset Diaz fans

He couldn’t implement his game plan, thus….He deserved to lose.

equivalent of a stand up jon fitch

fergler - February 5, 2012 reply

Condit will never get another dollar of my $

Wasted time on a track meet instead of a fight. Boring as a Fitch lay and pray.

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

BRILLIANT GAMEPLAN

Not the Carlos Condit we are used to seeing but goddamn was that strategy beautiful

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!! 103 POINTS BABY!!!!

benten20 - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

Well played sir.

dana looks upset too

So you guys all hate LYoto as well, right?

Atomic Salmon - February 5, 2012 reply

lyoto actually does damage.

fergler - February 5, 2012 reply

What was Lyoto's last boring fight? Ortiz? Naahh, that was fun too.

Lyoto doesn’t sprint the way Conduit sprinted today.

You'd be surprised.

The whining was endless before UFC 94 about how boring Lyoto was. Then he added some muscle and all of a sudden people realized us fanboys weren’t talking out of our asses when we said how great his striking was.

Lyoto tries to end fights.

Order of bad decisions

Riddle/Thompson
Caceres/Figueroa
Diaz/Condit
Pierce/Kos

That wasn't a bad decision

I scored it 48-47 Diaz but a Condit win was perfectly acceptable.

Agreed with everything but Condit/ Diaz.

Carlos tooled Nick.

Nick, look at your face homie

I'd rather see diaz vs gsp myself

But condit won that fight.

btforprez - February 5, 2012 reply

it was not a close fight

Jackson strikes again!

CaptainKneebar - February 5, 2012 reply

suddenly diaz fanboys forgot the "stockton rules"

what a coincidence.
how convenient.

Keep whining, Diaz.

Punk.

this isn't boxing

ring control is suppose to matter

Retiring?

Diaz is retiring????!?!?!!!?!??!?!?!??!

diaz retiring? lol

Diaz is fucking insane.

^This What a damn crybaby.

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

Hello post-fight conference and judo chops. Giants anyone?

Nick Diaz is retiring LOL

I was thinking that after the 3rd round

Knew that punk would pull this shit if he lost.

and he retires oooo my

front runner

loses and quits

LOL

He’s retiring. wow

Dammit, Nick is such a fucking baby.

WHAT THE HELL?!

Good riddance.

GTFO, you little whining baby.

Well, so much for Nick Diaz growing on me. You are a bitch.

I agree

I was just starting to like him and he pulls this shit. You disappoint me Nick

cletusvandam - February 5, 2012 reply

He's right

I think I disagree with your opinions most of the time, but not on this one.

DEAD MONEY

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

i’m outta this shit

Aw yeah!

Stockton can EAT A DICK!

Crackity Bones - February 5, 2012 reply

Carlos Condit made Nick Diaz retire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????

The Judges did

According to Nick Diaz anyways

mmartsy - February 5, 2012 reply

Diaz is the fucking man.

That's how you quit the sport!

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

Wow..the fuck?

Oh my god.

spectaa - February 5, 2012 reply

dont be scared homie

HAHAHAHAHA! Eat it, Diaz-holes!

Where’s Hashmo? I’ve got a crow for him to eat.

did you eat crow

when you said theres no way in hell Fitch loses to Hendricks?

Just curious

Yes, this deserves a post

fuck this points shit i guess pride will never come back

I like how Nate is just standing there like

“he did not just say this shit”

Diaz is being a big baby

He's not.

He’s just done with this shit.

Cool for him, I say.

He's just frustrated that Condit is a smarter, more diverse fighter.

By smarter you mean better at 50 meter dashes?

Shut up

It sucks for Nick, but so it goes.

I hate this

Butthurt “you mean better at 50 meter dashes?” attitude though. I picked Diaz. I rooted for Diaz and I thought Diaz won it 48-47 but there is no way you can be upset about Condit winning that fight.

I agree

It was a close fight. I’m a huge Diaz fan but the hate either way confuses me.

no no

Conduit won, I’m not mad at the decision. GSP already proved that track and field is the way to go. I’m mad that we just saw another GSP born. A guy that used to be exciting, but turned to sprinting in order to win decisions.

You're not mad at the decision

Yeah, right.

thank you

Spammy talking sense

This. It was close.

He probably is better at 50 meter dashes.

He’s also better at fighting, so there’s that.

What neither you nor Diaz seem to understand is that a fighter isn’t obligated to let you hit him. Actually, it’s pretty much the exact opposite. You do what you have to to make the other guy miss.

Crackity Bones - February 5, 2012 reply

You guys don't seem to understand

Its one thing to have good footwork to avoid punishment, and at the same time land powerful and effective shots(Lyoto Machida) and its another thing to literally turn your back and run away(Carlos Conduit)

Wasn't too long ago people were accusing Lyoto of that though.

Did Carlos

get hit? No. Did he hit Diaz? Yes. So how is that different from Machida? Because he turned around? That’s just style points, dog.

Crackity Bones - February 5, 2012 reply

Carlos did get hit

Diaz out struck him in punches. Your argument is invalid. And who the fuck are you to call me a dog?

The most effective fighter

is the one who does the most damage, and takes the least. Carlos absolutely fought more effectively.

Condit took a punch of big punches though

I don’t think it’s fair to paint a picture that Condit was dominant in any fashion.

Except in the fourth round of course.

He rolled with most of the punches.

Diaz landed some good body shots, and a few good dingers to the head, but Condit definitely landed the cleaner, harder strikes throughout.

Bullshit at it's finest.

Diaz got outstruck and couldn’t adapt to deal with basic footwork and head movement. People built an expectation of him being a God level boxer and that just exposed as bullshit tonight.

doomrider7 - February 5, 2012 reply

No he’s not. He’ll 100% be back. This is just a frustrated tantrum because Condit didn’t fall for his hands down bs and had just as good of a gastank

He's been talking about retiring for a good while, now.

He’s been done for a while. Dude just doesn’t have the mental acuity to avoid get gamed like that.

Condit,s gas tank was very impressive...he may have run a marathon in the ring tonight...

I kid…

Congrats to Carlos…great gameplay and execution.

srsly

Such a childish move. I agree Condit’s plan was pretty annoying, but you can’t retire because you got out-pointed.

He’ll fight again.

I didn't think it was annoying at all.

It was masterful. Carlos tooled Nick.

I mean annoying to Nick

As in, I am trying to back this guy up and run off a 9-hit combo, and he slips away after 2 or 3.

Yeah, for sure.

Diaz was totally annoyed. Condit is the man I thought him to be. And whether he beats Georges or not, Condit has won a UFC championship. He will always have that.

Holy shit!!!! He retires?

WHAT?!?!

Shit Diaz

I totally agree. Conduit turned that into the most boring fight of the night.

He fought a smart game plan. He earned his win.

Be mad at your idol for failing to adapt in a tough situation.

I thought that was a beautiful fight

Me too

Slightly disappointing given the amount of hype, but still an awesome fight.

I think it lived up to all the hype.

Definitely did not.

You're just mad.

If Diaz had done the same damn thing, you’d be hollering for joy.

Well, that's just like... you're opinion, man.

That fight absolutely thrilled me.

I don't know

I thought it was going to be a war. Instead I got a close technical fight.

I thought it WAS a war.

A very technical war, representing style contrasts, between two of the most talented and tough fighters on the planet.

Matt Riddle WARS

FUCK YEAH HE DOES!!!!!

To be fair, I think that fight with Martinez could’ve gone either way. The 2’nd round was very even.

I feel like the judges gave him round 2 for that flurry

and his little “yeah we’re warring” smile and nod are so dorky.

I think that's fair

The technical nerd in my loved it, the just bleed guy in me was a bit disappointed. I hope that makes sense.

I could see it.

I personally was absolutely delighted by that fight.

nah, certainly not

not a boring fight, but not one I’ll ever rewatch

some were expecting one of the best fights ever

this might not even be fotn

It's up there for one of my top fights ever.

I love style contrasts like this.

wow diaz thinks he won

Wow bitter whine from Diaz, can’t believe that he thinks he won, he thinks because he walks forward and doesn’t hit with any significance and his opponent does what he wants and continually hits with kicks and punches that should not win?

kieranski - February 5, 2012 reply

and because Carlos

ran 2 miles in the octagon, hit a bunch of leg kicks that Diaz checked and missed on all his spinning back fits he should win?

No

Because Carlos punched Diaz in the face more he should win.

SOMEBODY CALL THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE

lol, what a fucking great night. Condit wins and Diaz acts like the crazy loon that he is and retires. haha!

That fight was turrible.

You really shouldn't have to chase the other fighter around all night.

That’s not a fun sport to watch.

In pride it would have been a yellowcard.

Ionnes - February 5, 2012 reply

true but he should be able to cut off the octagon and impose his will

kieranski - February 5, 2012 reply

theres no fucken corners to cut a man off!!

So you want Condit just to stand there and trade?

It’s not like he was running. He was moving and picking his shots.

he was literally running

like turned around and sprinted

That was when his back hit the cage

where Diaz is known to win his fights.

Some of the time he did.

But a lot of it was running

Only time he did

was when his back hit the cage. Considering that’s where Diaz is known to do most of his damage, Condit was being smart.

Oh, please.

It’s not like Condit pulled a Kalib Starnes. He was whooping up on Nick’s legs.

It’s a valid (and obviously wise) game plan, but it doesn’t make for much excitement.

Nick taking his ball and going home.

Too bad he couldn't press the reset button right before he lost

COMMENT OF THE NIGHT!

AwkwardwithwordmakingisGoldberg,huhJoe - February 5, 2012 reply

This is perfect

this is outstanding

are you fucking retarded? you little bitch

Just chill, everyone loses. No way that retirement sticks, and if he did it'd be tragic

I wouldn't be surprised if it's true

just because Nick is a fucking nutcase.

He won’t be repping the 209 if he backs down now would he? lol

such bullshit. this is a fucking track meet.

We just witnessed the first postfight rage quit.

That's the only way to do it right.

Beats BJ Penn moping.

Drama queen. Why’s anybody surprised?

Well he did run a lot

Condit won though.

AwkwardBoner - February 5, 2012 reply

Fuck Conduit and his pity-patter points fighting. Great job avoiding a fight turning out, champ

Bullshit

Point fighting my ass.

He DID WORK on Diaz’ legs, and landed the far better shots all around.

Yeah well, leg kicks are nice and all, but unless they finish the fight or seriously impair you they don’t matter much

Cecil Peoples?

Leg kicks should count. I just thought that Diaz landed harder in the third to justify him winning that round.

C'mon Horselover

“Great job avoiding a fight turning out” … seriously? I’d like to think you’re better than that.

Yeah well you’re wrong. I’m pissed, in more ways than one. I will not accept this insolence

Well done on the Monty Python quote

I’ll leave it at that.

I am childish, petty man. I’ll accept the decision, but only after bitching something fierce about it. I just don’t like when backpedaling and defense wins you fights. I had great hopes for this shit but it turned out to be a dud. Also I’m a big Diaz fan. Conduit is officially on my shit-list

This sums up my feelings perfectly

Seriously impair

as in prevent Nick Diaz, a textbook swarmer, from being able to get inside and fire off massive volume punching combinations?

Yes- low kicks are very nice indeed.

209 Motherfucker! We retire when we lose decisions!

He has been talking about retiring for a looong time, now.

Yeah

every time he loses.

I honestly believe he came into this with thinking

If things don’t go my way I’m talking my ball home and I quit.

40 Cal. - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

Diaz nuthuggers can cry all they want. Congrats Condit on perfectly-executing his gameplan.

OleksiyPecherovsHomeboy - February 5, 2012 reply

This times infinity

fuck that shit

diaz won the first two rounds. 3rd round was close. 4th round all condit. 5th round close. Condit can ride his bike home for all i care

He's riding that bike to a motherfucking title shot.

and Diaz is riding his Honda home weeping sweet tears.

GSP will mop the floor with him

not even worth watching

MaximumWatermelon - February 5, 2012 reply

He sure has more of a chance than Diaz did.

Not from his back, he won't.

not buying it

he’ll be back

He credited and discredited Condit in the same sentence haha

That was not running at all that was called circle away from someone elses punches.

What the fuck did Diaz do besides act like a clown with his little hand gestures? He’s just a cry baby because things didn’t go his way. What’s new?

40 Cal. - February 5, 2012 via Android app reply

He actually did run a few times.

I say- who cares? Condit tooled Diaz. He could’ve done the truffle shuffle for all I care, he comprehensively outstruck Nick.

MaximumWatermelon - February 5, 2012 reply

Diaz doesn't think he lost

Sorry Diaz but your face at the end of the fight says it all.

If you use a strategy to beat me, you are a coward.

Wrestle him down and you didnt come to fight
Outpoint him you didnt wanna fight

You either do what he wants or you didnt wanna fight

so much this

also

Great, great , brilliant game plan from Jackson’s camp and good job to Condit for being able to stick with it; show’s really high fight IQ.

And an inability to adapt mid-fight by Diaz when things don’t go his way…

Atomic Salmon - February 5, 2012 reply

I am seriously so impressed by Condit now.

Brawn and brains. Tough as hell, smart as a whip, sharp as a knife.

Diaz walks forward like a zombie all night, missing punches and thinks he won the fight, then cries about it after. Surprise.

Why stay in a sport that fucks you over?

Or you lose in.

How did he get fucked over?

Dude got punched in the face a lot and didn’t do anything.

What?

He clearly lost! He got outstruck in most of the exchanges? In most decisions he’s lost, they’ve been justified. He’s just a whiny punk.

I actually thought Diaz landed the harder shots

But its whatever. I could easily be wrong and I await the Fightmetric numbers.

He didn't get fucked over

He lost to someone with a gameplan to beat him.

If they wrestle him down, they didnt come to fight
If they outstrike him they didnt come to fight

Only

Conduit ran away for the majority of the fight.

No.

Condit punched Diaz in the face for the majority of the fight.

No.

Conduit threw weak ass leg kicks and teeps, and sprinted every time Nick got close to him.

did you see Nick's face?

cletusvandam - February 5, 2012 reply

Most of that came in the 4th.

1-3 were closer. 4was all Condit, which proved his gas tank, and the 5th goes to Diaz for threatening the choke.

That said, I can see nothing wrong with the score, but I understand the bitterness.

30sec

doesn’t override 4.5 minutes of dominance.

See, I don't think "threatening the choke" is worth a damn.

Diaz took the most dominant position

Of a largely close and uneventful round. He definitely won that round.

He moved away from the cage

Where Diaz is most dangerous. Hit him and didn’t get hit.

As simple as that

Well said.

Diaz fans should be mad at him for not figuring out a different approach other than “Cuss Carlos out and hope he gets mad enough to fall into my game plan”

But he did get hit

and for at least the first two rounds, and quite possibly the first three, he got hit with the harder, more meaningful strikes AND he was going backward.

If you want to be Floyd Mayweather, you can’t be the guy eating the harder shots, which Condit was.

I'm gonna need to copy paste

10-10
10-9 Diaz 2nd
10-9 Condit 3-5

It wasn’t a blowout but I think Condit’s gameplan worked better in the later rounds

That's a respectable card

I though Diaz had the third, but that’s just me.

I respect that

It was a close fight and we can argue about it forever if we wanted to. We just think differently.

Yeah, logic and respectfulness on BE, who’d have thunk it

Agreed

I’m not going to lie I sometimes get a bit spirited with conversation, but I generally like the people here, so I try to be somewhat respectful.

What I saw for a majority of the fight

Was Carlos avoiding Nick’s effort to push him up against the cage and countering back with steady diverse offense.

Hell round 4 was pretty much all Condit, but you guys wanna give Diaz the fight just because he was pushing forward? Fuck that.

I thought Condit dominated the fourth

But I thought every other round outside of that was close.

It was very close.

I just don’t understand this whole “AWW Condit was running!”

No, he was avoiding Nick’s biggest strength, and more power to him for doing so.

I agree

Although I think that Condit should have probably avoided running into the cage to begin with.

Cut angles before his back hits the cage?

I gave Carlos round 4

but Rounds 1 and 2 frankly weren’t even all that close. Nick walked forward and connected with the better strikes.

Round 3 could go either way. Round 4 was Condit and Round 5 was close (leaning Condit) before Nick took him down, took his back and threatened submissions.

48-47 Condit isn’t appalling, but 49-46 is.

I need to rewatch rounds 1-2 but I pretty much agree with this.

I gave Carlos 3-5, As for the scorecards…..You know how these judges are.

No he didn't

only time he “ran away” was when Diaz was trying to pin him to the cage. That was just avoiding Diaz’s biggest strength.

MaximumWatermelon - February 5, 2012 reply

Re-positioning yourself in the center of the octagon so you wouldn’t be beat up against the cage is not running away. Condit fucked Diaz up, plain and simple.

He clearly lost that fight

The first two were close and then he ended up talking shit more than fighting for the rest of the fight.

I scored rounds 1, 2 and 5 for Diaz, 3 and 4 for Condit

Neither fighter clearly won.

I actually scored 1 for Condit and 3 for Diaz

Ummmm because they pay you a lot of money?

Ok, personal scoring aside,

Diaz thought he won, and believed that he lost because the fights are scored in a way that favor other fighting styles, so he thought he got fucked over. Why should he keep fighting if he feels that the system doesn’t work?

It's his choice completely,

but he has noone to blame but himself.

I just wanted to point out that Diaz saying he's retiring,

isn’t exactly the bitch move everyone’s making it out to be. He’s understandably upset about a decision that happened, literally, seconds before his interview.

I don't think retiring is a bitch move for any fighter.

Disappointing, sure- but they are making a huge sacrifice of their body for our entertainment. If they aren’t happy, then I absolutely think it’s their right and responsibility to do what it takes to make them happy.

Diaz fucked himself over by only ever focusing on punching.

Evolve or be left at the wayside. This wasn’t just Condit’s win over Diaz tonight, it was a reassertion of Muay Thai’s superiority over boxing

No one style is overwhelmingly and inherently better than other

Nate Diaz beating Cerrone case in point.

Except I’m fully prepared to say that Nate Diaz is a better fighter. Nate Diaz can hit guys in the middle of the Octagon, and it seems that Nick has trouble with that.

Refusing to use or check leg kicks seems to be a poor decision

he did actually check the vast majority

though he didnt in the first round or two

Nate Diaz has a more well rounded striking game. He actually checks low kicks.

Boxers don’t check low kicks, and if you check low kicks, your style is no longer boxing.

What would you call it then?

I wouldn’t really feel comfortable calling it kickboxing.

I'm absolutely comfortable calling it kickboxing.

There are plenty of successful kickboxers who throw very few kicks, and make most of their success with their punching and by checking kicks. Mighty Mo, Hunt, and Sefo come to mind.

That's a good point

So can we make K-1 Diaz a thing now?

no…. YES

Hah. That just reminds me of when I was little, I used to think kickboxing was just boxing, but you could ONLY use your feet.

I think they call that Olympic Tae Kwon Do

This, I agree with

Evangalista exposed holes in Nicks stand up that Condit, Jackson and Co. We’re able to exploit for five rounds, which had not been done before.

hats off to the new champ. sad to see Nick leave so much money on the table…still so many good fights for him at 170…

Funny thing is

I think Diaz matches up with Georges better stylistically. He could be contending for the title with one good comeback win, over a guy like Koscheck maybe.

I would love

Diaz beating the shit out of Kos.

Idk man, I think that would be a very very close fight.

Koscheck could take Nick down at will, and his submission skills have improved a ton.

I think Diaz could scramble up

Would be a good fight. Kos is a tough out for anyone really. Even Alves took some shots in that fight.

Yeah, and Kos took that Alves fight on super short notice.

But yes, I would really like to see that fight. Diaz always has great scramblefests with strong wrestlers

Agreed

Diaz has a real talent for just rolling and creating sweep and scramble opportunities. If he doesn’t retire, maybe a fight against Rick Story or Mike Pierce would be cool.

Even though I don't think it should factor into a bout's scoring,

the way Diaz took Carlos’ back in the 5’th was absolutely beautiful.

He's understandably upset.

Nothing about Diaz is understandable.

POINT FIGHTING?

The guy that landed multiple head kicks and hooks was point fighting? Jesus you Diaz fans amuse me.

Diaz fans are almost as bad as Sonnen fans.

worse

Not to mention the dozens upon dozens of low kicks he chopped Nick up with.

So Condit should just have slugged it out with diaz and gotten knocked out should he?

Called STRATEGY fella. lovely kick punch combos there as well, though diaz did look threatening when he did catch condit

What's this? Logic?

Oh no sir, you can’t use that here, we should be mad Carlos didn’t fall into the same trap as Diaz’s previous opponents. How dare he formulate a game plan to success.

once again diaz proves why he’s the most overrated fighter today your mad son cuz your 4 grade attitude doesnt work anymore GO PUT YOUR BIG BOY PANTS ON AND GET A REAL JOB YA BUTT!!

watchcarlosrun.com

yes im mad

i can’t wait to see GSP pound Carlos’s face into dust.

It's whatever

How about, UFC said “it’s whatever” if you stay or go….you’d get out wrestled by KOS, Fitch, hendricks, Pierce, etc. so you probably should retire.

I don't know

It’s hard to hold and keep Diaz down.

alll you diaz fans are pathetic

I’m pathetic for enjoying an exciting fighters fights?

wut

Pretty sure he's saying all the fans whining about this fight are pathetic

And they are. Diaz CLEARLY lost that fight.

There wasn't anything clear about that fight.

It’s like Sonnen/Bisping, it could’ve gone either way based on the first two rounds.

I agree in this in part

Was it as exciting as we expected it to be? No

Did Diaz win? No

This is the guy who used to argue that wrestling was bullshit.

Of course he’s going to say it’s bullshit when someone does something else that doesn’t work into his gameplan.

Good fight by Condit

I thought Diaz won by a round because I actually gave the third to Diaz, but the fight was close and Condit deserves props on his victory.

Congradulations Condit. Please takeout GSP.

The winner, by 5 round backpedal, Carlos “Kalib Starnes” Condit.

Dude, really?

really?

Ok come on he was moving strategically, he came in with a game plan to avoid getting in trouble that is that back-pedalling

kieranski - February 5, 2012 reply

Dude, dial down the fighter hate

You’ve been angry every time there’s been a decision you disagreed with for the past few months.

The amount of butthurt from this fight is incredible.

Yup

I really don’t understand it. As I’ve written, I picked Diaz, I rooted for Diaz and I scored the bout 48-47 Diaz, but stop shitting on the fighters for no reason, y’all.

diaz got kicked so hard in the face he forgot about those in post fight speech ha

themango69 - February 5, 2012 reply

Retirement??????

Don’t retire homie

Curtis2012 - February 5, 2012 reply

Don't be scared (to continue fighting in the UFC) homie!

and at the last, my parlay dies

that money would have been nice

Divisive fight

I honestly thought I’d be happy either way in this one, but I hate Condit’s approach, and I hate scoring that fight for him, especially 49-46.

In the first two rounds, Nick landed the much more effective strikes. He snapped Carlos’s head back in each of the first three rounds, landed the more significant strikes, and controlled the ring.

Round 4 was probably Condit’s and Round 3 was close, but the back mount was the most significant thing to happen in Round 5.

I will definitely be saving my money when GSP and Condit hook up.

ignoring the 2 head kicks that flopped nick's head back.

carlos showed no signs of danger and reversed, so how many points you going to give for a whole rd he was getting outworked?

themango69 - February 5, 2012 reply

I saw it much the same way.

I need to rewatch that fight. I was sure Diaz won every round except the 4th. Not sure what to make of the various people saying Diaz was robbed, and the other various people who are being pretentious and calling them morons basically. This is where MMA scoring gets tricky.

I had it 48-47 Diaz

But 48-47 Condit was fine, and so was 49-46 Condit. It was a close fight, it’s a matter of preferring Diaz’ cage control or Condit’s volume.

I don't get 49-46 Condit

I get 48-47 either way though.

I thought

The 4 of the rounds were tough to call but I definitely agree more with 48-47 either way than 49-46 Condit.

Same here.

Thought it was an automatic Diaz victory when I heard the 49-46 score. Otherwise, I had no idea who was going to win.

yeah

it was the score that had me annoyed, not the winner

I had it the other way around

I had Diaz winning but the only guy who could have won 4 rounds was Condit. He was the only guy who won two rounds sort of decisively.

I definitely have to rewatch this fight.

Can’t remember the last time people were so split on the results of one.

Sonnen/Bisping

Honestly

I had it like this

10-10
10-9 Diaz
10-9 Condit 3-5

Diaz had his moments but Condit worked his gameplan perfectly last 3 rounds

I had it the same way.

Greg Jackson coached all the fight out of Condit.

Coached the recklessness out and the win in.

Horrible coach, that Jackson is.

Rashad is a natural.

UFC real loser...

How many PPV buys did they lose for a GSP/Diaz grudge match?

they lost mine

and I think it took some of the bloom off the Condit rose as well.

agree

A boring Greg Jackson decision? That's weird

Only a matter of time before Jones starts doing this shit

You're crazy.

I'm just trollin'

sigh

Hasn’t this meme been disproved a million times already?

Carlos won round 3 and 4

That’s it.

Diaz 48-47

zzwab - February 5, 2012 reply

lolno

dude you are clearly blinded by loathing

I like Diaz, but I also like(d) Condit up until about half an hour ago. Nick was landing the better, more effective shots in the first two rounds, in addition to controlling the cage.

The third was close. The fourth was a clear Condit round, and Diaz had the most notable offense in the fifth.

Honestly, it’s no skin off my ass. I’m just as happy not to pay $60 to watch GSP lay on Diaz for 5 rounds, but some of the scoring among my usually clear headed BElists was ludicrous.

Yes

I think rationality is lost in this situation

People either love Diaz or hate him, so they’re going to have extreme feelings either way.

So one submission attempt in round five gave that round to Diaz?

I need to rewatch that last round

What I remember is Carlos starting to land good in thr third round.

zzwab - February 5, 2012 reply

I’m surprised Diaz couldn’t catch him as he constantly ran away, being a triathlon competitior.

Taking the back and getting dominant position should count

Diaz controlled round 5 for approx 1:40. Condit controlled the rest of it and landed.

It was the closest thing in the entire fight to a stoppage, which- and I might be old fashioned here -is the entire point of fighting.

And yet it wasn’t close at all. So, again, that should immediately give him the round? Diaz saying after the fight that he’d have finished the sub if he thought he might be behind just shines further light on how full of shit he is. Condit was fine there. Certainly not a position he’d love to be in, but it came with under two minutes left, no?

How do you mean it wasn’t close? He had back mount and the fight ended as they were tied up. That’s closer than landing leg kicks.

He had a dominant position, but he was never close to securing a choke or a hold on the arm. And again, it was a last-ditch effort at the end of the fight.

What difference does that make in regards to the point I’m making? Either you’re of the opinion that it was the closest thing to the fight being finished or you’re not. It sounds like you’re saying it wasn’t, and I disagree.

In much the same way that getting to the 50-yard line instead of your own 45 is closer to scoring a touchdown, then I totally agree with you.

Go fucking dangle from some other hoodlum’s nuts. Diaz fucking lost, convincingly.

halitosis - February 5, 2012 via mobile reply

Not sure if people already mentioned this...

But are they really planning on Condit sitting out for November for GSP?

No

They were talking pre-fight as if the interim champ would fight one fight before GSP comes back.

eyeIess - February 5, 2012 reply

Condit wanted to fight

Cesar Gracie wanted Nick to wait.

I wish Condit would have cut to the outside more

Instead of backing up, THEN running back. Avoid the cage entirely then fire.

Am I sad Diaz lost? Yes. Am I even more sad that the fight was not as exciting as I thought it would be? Yes. All in all respect to Carlos and Diaz

Congrats to Benten and Noahwob

For making it to the top 10 on Playground

for reals

Real Talk

I’ll make 3 quick points…

Condit had a great gameplan that he executed to perfection, but at the same time it didn’t make for an entertaining fight or at least the one that most people expected when Joe Silva put this matchup together. That being said, he deserved the win and I personally don’t think it’s as close as some are making it seem. To me he ran away with it, No pun intended.

Diaz needs to grow the fuck up and maybe get a real cornerman rather than your brother who doesn’t know shit either, you gotta be able to adjust your gameplan on the fly in this sport if the shit isn’t working out for you. He clearly was getting outpointed and you had to know that going into the 4th & 5th round. Y u no improvise?

The UFC lost out in the long run, Diaz vs. GSP for the title would’ve been on par with Evans vs. Jones and/or Sonnen vs. Silva 2 as far as the closest thing to 1M ppv buys. They’ll do decent numbers with Condit vs. GSP but only because of who GSP is already. I’m curious if they’re wishing that they would’ve just saved Diaz vs. GSP for when Georges was healthy and forgone this WW interim match.

BlackDynamite - February 5, 2012 reply

Full disclosure

My pre-fight pick was Diaz 4th round TKO

BlackDynamite - February 5, 2012 reply

Definitely keeping it real

Also had Diaz, but by UD

What time is the post fight presser?

67 points

Ouch. I might be running the prospect league forever at this point.

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

51 here. A lot of my picks were underdogs

To be fair, I did some stupid shit

I changed my pick from Natal by UD for no apparent reason.

The One Who Wears The Crown - February 5, 2012 reply

lol wowzers. Would’ve been a great night for you. But yeah, I won’t go underdog-crazy next event.

I’ll keep you company with my 55pts. They robbed Pierce and Caceres

I agree about Pierce, but Caceres screwed himself with the point deduction. Sucks that I had both winning too.

76 and as per usual I seem to have picked the under card better than the main card yet again.

At least I was one of the 22 to have picked Carlos to win and not one of the other 87 suckers who picked Diaz. (Yes, I’m taunting the Diaz crowd.)

Also I didn't think for a second Diaz would retire

Until I heard him say that Zuffa actually pays him a lot. Then I started to worry.

Didn't see the full Fightmetric stats

But Middle Easy posted a pic of the results (I can’t seem to log into fightmetric, so I’ll take their word for it).

Basic premise is that Condit landed slightly more, but Diaz landed at a slightly higher percentage.

Mandatory Disclaimer
Fightmetric is a good tool for evaluating MMA, but should not be used as a substitute for actually watching the fight. It is neither the end all be all or entirely useless.

They called it 48-47 Condit

Holy shit

Cecil Peoples’ Champs fucking ruled tonight.
