“I scored the fight three rounds to two for Condit… It’s one of those things where if you don’t like the outcome you can’t let it go to the judges. It was a tough fight to score; it reminded me of Haggler and Leonard. A very technical fight and tough to score but I had it two to three for Condit… I didn’t expect it to be this kind of fight, I didn’t expect it to be as technical as it was, I didn’t expect Condit to play on the outside and pick him apart, I didn’t expect stuff like that. I expected more of a war. I expected Condit to get inside and take it to him.
You never know with Nick, Who knows, he might, he might not [retire], I think he is a little emotional right now, this was a big fight for him and I know he wanted that Georges St Pierre fight too. I think [Cesar and team] are the guys to talk him off the ledge or however you want to call it, but I’m not that guy.”

After Re-Watching Diaz vs. Condit Joe Rogan Concedes That Diaz Won
Condit will not beat GSP with the crap he pulled tonight.
Agreed.
Tough task because Condit will be fighting from his back a lot. I doubt GSP wants to risk a standup fight with Condit. And he has never before stood toe to toe with better strikers. Might be a boring fight because it will be fought on the ground.
Condit had 2 adapt 2 Diaz, wich is the only way to win….He proved that he is dat good, As much as I beleave GSP wins the fight, I beleave that Condit can win ( he has more chanes 2 beat GSP than Diaz in my point of view )
He will have a different gameplan for GSP. That was a great gameplan for Nick. You could see it in the 3rd round. Diaz backed up to the center of the octagon. He just looked at Condit. He was confused. He didn’t know what the hell to do! It was hilarious! Condit won the mental game. After Condit didn’t get provoked by his slap and other B.S., Diaz’ he was all messed up. As soon as I saw him back up to the middle by his own choice, I knew Condit had broken him mentally and was going to win the fight. Then they started trading in the center where Condit is comfortable and he was really tagged him from that point on, all the way to the end. Condit outsmarted him, plain and simple. It will completely different for GSP. That being said, there is no way he will be able to stop GSP’s takedowns. Both Diaz and Condit would have a real tough time against Koscheck. That weasel eeked out a win against Pierce. I think Pierce deserved the decision.
^ Right on the money sir
Condits gameplan against gsp won’t be as good cus jackson won’t come up with it
And you think Diaz would beat GSP the way he fought tonight? All he did was follow Condit around the cage. Not even able to cut him off and get his back to the cage.
What happened tonight was just Diaz’s predictable gameplan of backing his opponent up to the cage and throw a load of jabs and straight rights not working against Condit, who had a better idea.
Bull shit diaz won 1st 2nd and 5, or maybe 3rd but it was close, no doubt there all wrong if condit won it was a spilt. but he didnt Bull Shit.
carlos picked nick apart.the only reason theres any controversy is because ufc wanted to make all that money for nick/gsp.condit clearly won the fight nick is just a sore loser.look what happened when karo beat nick.nick tried to fight him at the hospital.nicks a great fighter but classless
Round 5 to Condit. Condit was winning up to 1 minute remaining. Diaz got his back, but didn’t sink any submissions in, and a few seconds before the bell Condit got out of it and started to throw strikes from the top. So Diaz winning round 5 for 55 seconds doesn’t sell me. Bullshit.
Say’s he likes creating chaos, but tonight was rather boring for chaos.
I’m sure it was a big chaos inside of Diaz’s head. He had no answer to Condits way of fighting.
For those that believe Diaz controlled the octagon. If you march forward towards your opponent for five rounds and are out struck, then you are not in control of anything. If you are continually pressed into the cage and successfully exit without sustaining damage while inflicting damage to your apponent, then you are not only controlling the octagon but more importantly, the fight.
Diaz failed to execute. Condit did not. At this point it is cliche but no less true. If you leave it in the hands of the judges, you must live with their decision. Apperantly Diaz cannot and perhaps he should leave the sport but make no mistake, the judges, Condit and the sport are not to blame. Nick Diaz is.
co-signed. Diaz bitched about it, but the truth is he was out maneuvered…plain and simple. Condit gets phukkin killed if he tries that with gsp.
Strongly agree!… if Diaz tried that game plan with Georges he would have been going to the hospital.
If GSP is a real martial artist and if he is really “mad” at Nick Diaz then he should say “look dana Give me Nick Diaz I want to fight him please I want to pound his face in” but he won’t
Agreed!
I have been a Diaz fan ever since his KO of Robbie Lawler, I was going for Nick but I do believe Carlos won the fight, he had the perfect gameplan for Nick’s style so congratulations are well deserved. Lastly I can’t stand all the s*@t talkers who call certain fighters useless, weak or pussies, you clowns should wake up and realize you will never be able to do what any of these guys do, so get your head out your arses and analyze fights instead of rubbishing fighters
Yes I believe Condit won. I get the people’s reaction because they like wars better than technical fights. Condit executed his gameplan and he did it well.
I don’t see it either how anyone thought Diaz won, he had the first 2 rds then condit got into his rythem executed a good game plan, tag an move Diaz being as good as he is should have changed his and cut him off let him chase him something he just looked stupid and got picked apart. Condit had it 3-2 in my opinion
if you are going to stand in the pocket with Nick, you are going to get touched up. I’m sure Condit seen how Diaz kept BJ to the cage and then threw the combinations for the points (and probably a knockout for most). Fight was close.
The slapping and taunting during the fight is distasteful………
You “win” a fight by ending the fight. You are “awarded a win” by the judges point of view. Deal with it. I don’t agree with many outcomes. I thought BJ won the first fight vs Edgar.
Condit won no doubt. I love these fanboys who think Diaz won just because he walked forward like a zombie while someone displaying superior footwork picked him apart. Yeah real winner…
You Diaz fans are all so similar to Diaz! Immature and not man enough for a sport like this. Maybe Diaz should quit leaving the fight up to the judges…
I had it 3rds Diaz, and 2rds Condit.
as much as I like Diaz, you have to admit, it was Condit fight. pick him apart, did not play Diaz game and Diaz had no back up plan. Not his fault his corner should have a backup plan. take it to the floor.
Diaz had rounds 1 2 and 5. Not impressed with this fight.
ROBBERY
Condit won, he beat Diaz by being smarter and having a plan. He made Diaz chase him around and then picked him apart while he was running his mouth. If you dont like the judges score then finish the fight next time and don’t throw a temper tantrum like a little spoiled child when you lose. I say a rematch will settle all doubters. They are both great fighters but Condit definately cracked the Diaz code last night. So all you winers out there just remember your boy let it go to the decesion and lost.
Agreed With Most Of the Comments Below. How Diaz Training Camp or Anyone See It Any Other Way. Is MMA Illeterate or A Diaz NuttHugger. Even, Though Dana Thought Condit Won. He Looked Very Disappointed. Excellent Game Plan With The Kicks And Movement. Kind Of Reminded Me Of Edgar vs Penn 1. WELL DESERVED CONDIT. DIAZ IS A SORE LOOSER. THIS IS MMA NOT BOXING.
Condit didn’t win that fight 4-1 judges r wack the scoring in mma is what’s wrecking the sport not to mention the fact the new “champ” who turned into a mini gsp in the fact all he wanted to do is squeak out a W and not earn it like he did in his precious fights it was pathetic on condits part not smart I used to like watching him but running away and throwing leg kicks doesn’t win you fights and if it does I won’t watch that shit!
condit turned his back n ran across the cage away from nick like a dozens times n all the stuff he said in the primetime shows was just bullshit he said he was gonna take the fight to diaz he ran, he said he was gonna blast him with punches flying knees elbows n kicks to the face he hit him with 2 kicks to the face which did’t faze nick at all he connected with no more clean punches then nick n his “leg kicks” were some of the weakest i’ve seen in an mma fight n he calls himself a warrior… condit n grease st perrie gonna be condit running like a bitch with greasy tryin to lay on him for 5 rounds have fun promoting that garbage
Watching it again, I feel the fight should have been a draw. Condit probably won 3, 4, and half of round five. So giving Diaz the fight would have been robbery too. It wasn’t a dominant performance from either of them.
