What the ****? Why is the crowd booing Condit? I thought Condit won the first 4, and possibly the 5th. He out struck Diaz the whole fight.

Condit had the perfect gameplan. Stay off the cage, and hit him with leg-kicks and then throw combinations. I'm absolutely floored by Diaz' chin. I knew it was tough, but that kick combination could down a horse. Absolutely impressed by Nick Diaz chin, and Condit's gameplanning. Also, Nick's a sore ass loser.

@Wolf To be honest, I'm impressed with you. I figured you'd be pissed off and complaining like everyone else due to how much of a Diaz fan you are. Kudos to you, good sir.

The other loser in this fight is the entire Tapology community that has to look at the avatars of Team Diaz for the next couple of week.

@wolf You know I thought Condit was gonna win, but I'll be the first to give it up to your boy Diaz for having a rock solid chin. The kick combination that landed would've been enough to at least knock down almost any one else at the weight class. Also, while I'm extremely stoked that Condit won, I'm a little disappointed that he didn't get the finish. All-in-all, Diaz is tough as hell, but Condit came in with the perfect gameplan to outstrike and outwork Diaz.

That speech was very mature and gentlemanly of Nick. He might even believe that he won, but his face tells a different story. Specially compared to Condit's face.
