Condit definitely needed to avoid being pinned up against the cage for a barrage of punches, but he was also back-peddling full stride while Diaz continually tried to walk him down, exasperated that he couldn&#039;t get Condit to engage.  Condit landed more significant strikes, which he should be commended for, but Diaz probably put Condit in more danger overall.  I have a hard time really calling Condit the winner.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, I actually really like Condit - and Diaz for that matter - but I hope that he forms a more engaging game plan for GSP.  If GSP really is as healthy as he claims, I think the fight will likely go to the ground n the real question will be whether Condit can keep GSP in his guard.  Condit&#039;s guard is actually fantastic, but GSP generally passes as well as anyone in the sport.I would be much more interested to see GSP fight the Spider than Condit, because he is stylistically much more likely to give Anderson problems.  GSP, assuming his knee is healthy, is among the most explosive people in the sport n has excellent takedowns n top-control, which is Silva&#039;s weakness.  He is also more disciplined than Sonnen is, so he is less likely to get caught in an armbar or a triangle choke.  Silva&#039;s got an advantage over mostly anybody on the feet n GSP really doesn&#039;t knock people out very much.I am much more interested in the prospect of a Silva vs. GSP superfight than I would be if Silva fought Jon Jones (I don&#039;t mean I wouldn&#039;t be bouncing off the walls if that fight happened).  Silva&#039;s best weapon is probably those devastating knees of his, but it would be unwise for him to try to use them with Bones, because his best chance for survival is to stay out of clinch situations.  Jones is 6&#039;4&quot; n the Thai plum works much better against shorter fighters, particularly those who aren&#039;t elite greco-roman wrestlers.  I imagine Jones would rag-doll Silva then end the fight with devastating elbows.  Bones vs. Dos Santos, or Cain Velasquez, however, would be another story entirely.  I&#039;m not saying he couldn&#039;t win, but those dudes are beasts...  Bones&#039; future is in heavyweight n even though there are a few light-heavy fights I&#039;d still really like to see, his move up will be interesting.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I watched the Condit vs. Diaz fight several times n think that in a sense it was too close to call.

Demolished Rory MacDonald&#039;s face to make him look like that giant from  the movie Big Fish.
Put Dan Hardy to sleep with a punch to the dome...But he&#039;s a real runner right?Seriously stop watching the sport if you can&#039;t handle watching a fight go to decision. Nick Diaz doesn&#039;t get knocked out very easily, obviously. Some people just don&#039;t get knocked out or submitted. *cough BJ Penn*...Did you expect Diaz to win the fight by walking forward? He was out struck.Keep talking and complaining about the Diaz v Condit fight, maybe the verdict will change if you do so.I&#039;m also sure Nick Diaz is still complaining too.. Boo hoo hoo.If you want to feel bad about a real fighter, feel bad for Frankie Edgar. That belt was truly robbed. But that&#039;s another topic for another day.In regards to GSP and Condit, I love them both. But I want Condit to win slightly more to give others a chance as champs. GSP has been pretty boring lately.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@Lodovik Thank you, I was going to say.

I was disappointed with the Diaz fight because it was unexpected. However, I thought it was a very impressive performance and I applaud carlos for it.For the record, anyone who changes their opinion of a fighter based on one fight is a simpleton (with some exceptions of course). And it sure seems like a lot of ppl turned on condit for having one fight that wasn&#039;t what they wanted. Some very shameful and simplistic fans we have in this sport. Possibly as bad as Toronto Maple Leaf fans, who are some of the least loyal in all of sports. Also, please understand that I am no better than anyone else ;)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>^^^^^don;&#8217;t put words in other people&#8217;s mouths.
