Condits really pissing me off. All that pre fight talk about going for the kill and he comes and slaps the leg and backpedals the whole fight.

I don't think Condit got it.  Then again, the judges gave a fight to Machida for doing basically the same thing against Shogun the first time they fought.

the hit-and-run tactic is working in the ufc becuse the ring is so gigantic and
guys are used to stand and bang.

to stop all that circling around you need very good footwork and stop chasing the guy.
you gotta corner him instead of chasing.
