Amazing fight!!
Miura took a lot of punishment, but i guess that costed him his stamina.
Would love to see a rematch between these two.

Wow, i really thought that Miura was going to win due to the champ being so fatigued. I felt it in my bones. But some how, what looked like a pathetic excuse of a muay thai knee strike… took him down and out. Never seen it coming, and am completely dissapointed. What a great fight though. From beginning to finish, I was yelling at the screen.

carlos was winning the fight, but with 16 seconds left? early stoppage for sure. he was still getting his hands up to defend and most of those last blows were just hitting his hands. the 5th round would have been interesting i think. great fight though. much gained respect for miura.

I am nopt familiar with WEC or either of these fighters but man what a war. I thought the stoppage was a bit early but Muira didnt look too upset about it.

mygif
Toxic_SocietyNo Gravatar Says, in 8-4-2008 at 11:57:51 from 76.243.156.246    

I think it was fair stoppage. The ref told Miura to do something. He just sat there. Carlos might not have won with much damage inflicted, but won with intelligence nonetheless. He played the ref and got the win by peppering a completely gassed Miura.

However, a 5th round would have been absolutely crazy. Carlos is such an exciting fighter. Fun to watch on his feet, on his back, and on top. This is a fight of the year contender.

great fight, kind of a lame stoppage, it also seemed like they only stood them up when condit was on the bottom. hard to like a guy when he has a crazy reach advantage

In the third round when miura got on top of condit the ref stood them up practically right away. Did anyone else notice it?

mike and fight,
I thought the same thing. I actually got on here to see if anyone else mentioned it. I was pulling for Condit but it made me real mad when the ref, TWICE, stood them up early when Miura was on top. Then, after the fight, I noticed the ref patting Condit on the back. I’m not saying. I’m just saying. :)

As soon as the fight was over I could notice how BS the referee was. Not only did he stand Miura up early but he also let the fight go on when Condit was getting pounded on. The fight was great. But that ref was horrible. You can tell there was something fishy about that and it sucks because even the crowd was booing after it was stopped with 17 seconds left in the round.

Bigevil1No Gravatar Says, in 8-4-2008 at 15:21:43 from 24.79.87.93    

I agree.. they stood it up too quickly when Miura was on top..
and then in the 4th when Condit had Full mount and was doing nothing but resting on top the ref didnt stand them up. It wasnt like he was working for a submission either.

But whattaya do… great fight!

I’ve watched it many times and i have a comment about condit hitting Miura on the back of the head, is it legal? it was a good fight but obviously ended as a favorable decision!!!

alfredunhillNo Gravatar Says, in 8-4-2008 at 16:36:40 from 65.11.5.147    

Glad they stopped the fight when they did…sometimes these guys have such heart that if the ref doesn’t jump in they’ll literally fight to the death..taking punishment isn’t just taking blows, it’s pushing yourself past the point of exhaustion so that if you were to take a blow it would really do serious damage..great fight, great war

It’s kinda funny how many people here don’t know the difference between the mount and the guard.

rawrNo Gravatar Says, in 8-4-2008 at 19:51:25 from 76.254.112.71    

Great fight, but 2 things. One, that ref was total racist, every time Condit is on top, even when he wasn’t in a mount, the ref was okay with it. Whenever Miura was on top, he was like improve your position, gives him 5 seconds, then stands them up… wth. And the other thing is that one of the commentators was annoying as hell. He kept talking like he knew everything when he obviously doesn’t, ugh.

Condit did less with full mount than Miura did in full guard…Extremely biased ref.

Miura takes a little breather and feels out Condit and the ref tells him to work…he responds by connecting on Condit for a flurry but as soon as he stops, the ref stands them up

BULLSHIT

paddedummyNo Gravatar Says, in 8-5-2008 at 01:12:19 from 66.130.150.232    

Frank Mir thinks that a 206 pound guy against a 300 pound freak is a fair fight in mma because “they are both big and can do damage” but yet he thinks “tournaments aren’t fair”, so that is pretty close to knowing nothing. Look on the bright side rawr,at least you didn’t have to watch that pretentious little bobble head thing Mir does on ESPN!

cart3rNo Gravatar Says, in 8-5-2008 at 01:37:39 from 71.202.101.87

carlos is talking about how he wants to fight george st.pierre and he thinks he might be the only one who can take him on when he just managed to pull a win over miura.
I think carlos is a great fighter but has nothing on gsp

in his example, Mir said 240 lbs– not 206…not many 206-220 lbs guys in the heavies anyways.

hey tanned GSP lost to matt serra and serra’s skill set aint even close to condit.watch the fight again people.he kept ending up in condits guard and was not even attempting to pass.the ref was 100% right to stand them up.

KieranMacNo Gravatar Says, in 8-5-2008 at 15:09:44 from 68.32.166.219    

Definitely FotY candidate, no question, but what a horrible stoppage. With all the damage Rosenthal let Condit take, a few weak punches from an off-balance position should not have warranted a stoppage. He overreacted because he is, as usual, a horrible referee.

Csari0No Gravatar Says, in 8-5-2008 at 18:59:46 from 72.140.53.3    

In Japan would Condit would have eaten a few knees on his way up from those throws.

American MMA is boring!

JUDo baby… Jui Jitsu might get all the glory.. but JUDO gets all the respect…BJJ is judo with different names for chokes…lol

Is it just me, or is Condit one of the most over rated champions? If Miura had used elboes.. Condit would have been bloodier.

Commentators are so biased… so boring and so American. BULLSHIT STOPPAGE. I agrree with the guy who said that when Condit was on his back the fighters were stood up too soon.

It;s called catching your breath while butterfly punches are landing.!!!

TYPICAL UFC BS!

Condit lands one knee and they are peeing themselves… mean while Miura landed three good punches and not a peep.

Toxic_SocietyNo Gravatar Says, in 8-5-2008 at 23:48:59 from 72.213.142.29    

I agree with Ihatehaters. It seems to me anymore that if a ref ever stops a fight, it’s controversial. It’s too soon when a guy eats unanswered shots for 15 seconds straight. But it’s too late when Nick Diaz beats a guy down for roughly the same amount of time. No one is ever pleased. If mma was fixed, the ref would never to stop the fights just to keep people happy.

I totally agree with Csari0, I could’nt belive that was happening, but it is true, we can all see it clearly. I think that Ref. should retire, or get fired. He is clearly on Condit’s side. Poor Miura tried so hard, that Ref. took away is glory.

What are you people talkin about?Miura didnt even want to be on the ground with Condit.In the first round he had side control and stood up himself.Miura hadnt won a single round.Every single fight is the same shit now.People complaining about how bad the refs are.Some fights you have a right to complain about but not this one.

JosephNo Gravatar Says, in 8-6-2008 at 12:38:07 from 69.218.30.10    

Miura was in no danger of getting hurt when the fight was called. I’m very disappointed with the referee’s decision, as the fight could have gone either way.

Regarding the 2nd and 4th round break ups, could you imagine Dan Severn being told to advance his position. It’s called ground and pound.

Besides the TKO, the fight was very entertaining. I would like to see a rematch between the two, however, next time the Judge should let the fight go on.

Stove6, that’s pretty funny. Carlos is a skilled fighter, but the stare down is completely unnecessary.

you do understand that a bias referee is capable of swaying that vote, don’t you? like, for example, standing up one fighter a lot faster than the other when they are in top position.

>> You guys are really starting
>> to get stupid.Miura didnt want
>> to be on the ground with Condit.

yes, flame to prove your point. and back it up with the fact that a fighter preferred to stand. as we all know, no fighter has ever preferred to stand before.

im not talking about the official score cards.im talking about what i saw with my own two eyes.condit won every round in my eyes as well as the judges.being on top in someones guard without trying to pass or mount any kind of offense is something nobody wants to see.every fight is not fixed which is what so many of you want to claim after every event now.give condit his props
