i hate diaz but i think he will win

Awesome Diaz quote from this week...

“There’s a lot of people everywhere that do a lot of drugs. Everybody, everybody, is on drugs dude. If they’re not, they’re an alcoholic or something. I don’t know if you noticed that or whatever, look around. The thing is, you know, it’s just, it would be a lot healthier for people to think, you know, it could be, shit, this sort of thing could be the healthiest thing someone does out of their day. Let’s take for example a person whose laying in bed, a cancer patient, a fat person, if you will. Someone who doesn’t do shit all day. That muscle contraction, that core strength that kind of happens, that pulls together when you’re maybe smoking weed or whatever, you know, you’re coughing or whatever, and that blood flow that happens at that point in time, you know what I mean? It’s sort of good for you. You know what I mean? I’m not a doctor or a fucking scientist, but I’ve smoked plenty of weed. And, you know, I think in my opinion it’s pretty damn good for you. It could be the healthiest thing someone does out of their day if they’re just going to lay there. You know, the most blood flow and exercise that they get out of the day. They’re going to cough weed, you know, and as far as lungs go or whatever, I’ve never had a problem with them. There’s no chemicals involved. I don’t know if you know this, but cigarettes, you know, when people smoke cigarettes it closes your airwaves, but when you’re smoking marijuana it expands your lungs, you know, you’re breathing pretty good.”

Wow, all that weeds made him a retard.

closes the airwaves lol

I had Diaz 1,2,5
2 was close, 3 and 4 Condit had pretty easy
Judges scoring 46-49 are nuts

No doubt Condit had an actual game plan while Diaz was just trying to brawl, he was smarter about the fight and the plan worked for him the end

I just dont like how they rewarded the guy who continually ran away from the action for all 5 rounds. Counter punching/striking is a legit tactic, but backing away the entire fight?

While Condit got more hits in, he didnt have any power behind most of them because he was going backwards and Diaz blocked most of the big attempts. If hes not doing any damage, does it matter how many shitty leg kicks he gets in? (Obviously it does to the judges lol, Im just saying Im not sure I agree with it).

Was hoping to see a war, instead I saw cat and mouse. GSP v Condit has the potential to be very boring after watching that

I think what happened last night is that Diaz finally fought a top 5 welterweight and was exposed. As much as I find him entertaining (loved the Stockton slap!), I won't make excuses for him. Condit was better on his feet, had better kicks, knees, a more versatile attack, and beat him to the punch on many occasions. The only thing Condit didn't do was stand there in the pocket and box with him. But why should he play to Diaz's main strength?

I don't agree Rudey that Condit was "running backwards". Most of his movement was lateral and he did a lot of stick-and-moving and continually switched his stance. I think Condit v GSP has great potential but I fear that GSP is finished as an elite MMA fighter after doing his ACL.

For Rudie...
