@xbassistdoodx You're very welcome, and the funny part is that I'm probably one of the youngest poster on Tapology.

Some adults these days.

fitch's days are over. i bet he tries to do what lentz did and put on a show b/c he sees the writing on the wall and gets kTFO by any good striker he faces. fitch will not get any favors from the ufc. they don't want to put him on tv. rating s would plummet.

@Anik,

good to hear! Because some older people are just ignorant.

@xbassistdoodx I can see that.

@wolfmanhowl I don't buy that. I still think Jon Fitch is the 2nd best fighter in the WW division, even if he's not on my official Welterweight ranking.

I think he could beat Johny Hendricks in a rematch, personally.

One KO loss doesn't mean his days are over.

Everybody knows he had no time to train because Skyrim just came out! ;)

@bassist Thanks for backing me up. I loved your colorful analysis.
@anik Thanks for understanding what he was getting at considering the post started with @ossigor.

No problem! I'm not only here to piss off Diaz fans and defend Jon Jones,

I really do like associating with some cool dudes on here :)

And @Anik, I do think that Hendrick and Fitch could have a 3 fight series with different outcomes every time. Hendricks is one dangerous Mf'er, but Fitch's skills are undeniably awesome.

its just a condit love fest. only chance condit has is a quick one. he won't win in the later rounds unless its a doctor stoppage and something tells me that they will let them fight when both are bloody. it better be herb dean reffing too.

I say Condit could win with either KO, TKO, or Sub in round 1-3. The 4th and 5th rounds would be either a Rory Mac style comeback, a freak sub, or as you said, a doctor stoppage.

Overall, I like Condit's chances better, and that's as unbiased as I can be.

I seriously got thumbed down for thanking people for having a sense of humor and being intelligent? 

@wolf It has already been confirmed that Mazzagatti will be reffing this fight.

@zarog, probably my fault.

Associating with me results in down thumbs immediately. I just got used to it after a while.

=/

great. he ****** me over once badly and helped my out once. lets hope he lets them fight. lets hope someone in zuffa tells him to let them fight.

If a fighter is cut up to the point where it could inhibit their ability to fight effectively, you have to stop the fight. End of discussion.

face it eveyone gets thumbs down on diaz threads. it comes with the territory. i'm not doing it but i dont care either way.

"Condit has had more opponent changes than Batman in the first season" - Joey Diaz

"Who in the ******* **** is Joey Diaz?" - Everybody who matters

I'm a fan of both guys they always deliver and both had a fantastic career but I see Carlos winning and here is why:

Althoug Nick Diaz is good at so many things he has holes in his game. His Chin is very solid but a heavy hitter can put him down we saw that in the Daley fight, Daley gassed as he was trying to put Diaz away, Condit won't.

Diaz likes to stand & bang but his defensive manner is not that good at all, he moves his head well sometimes but sometimes he tends to stay right in the pocket, he shouldn't do this against Condit, additionally Condit has good leg kicks if he use them to keep Diaz at distance like we saw in the first Rd in the Cyborg fight he has a got chance to slow Diaz down or hurt him.

The first Rd in the BJ Penn fight was very balanced and BJ had hugh success with his jab because they were both getting at it right away, I think this fight will be the same it's gonna be a stand up war the whole time. But this time Diaz won't have the reach advantage which comforts his boxing style. And I think Carlos Condit has a advantage in the stand up department over everyone in the WW devision.  At least In the first 3 Rd's after that Diaz condition will be to much, but i doubt the fight will go all 5 Rd.

I saw pages before you all agree that Condit has the advantage when it comes to the clinching game that is another factor which comes in handy to Condits game. Diaz likes to back his opponents up against the cage, all Condit has to do is use his clinch as often as possible beware of body punches and if Diaz gets to agressiv create a bit space clinch and break free.
 
Long story short Condit via 2 Rd TKO

ut ohh trolls.
