I do think Diaz is a little frustrated.  It's not going quite how he wants.  Not going badly for him, but not quite right either.

Has Condit spun at least 20 times so far?

Pretty close fight w/ Diaz throwing more volume but condit landing more power shots. I'd say Diaz is winning because of the octagon control. He's been in the center of the ring the whole fight forcing condit back
