Everyone is *****ing about him "running away", It's called a game plan.....Nick has an unbelievable chin and is a black belt in BJJ......a legit one! So if you can find a extremely entertaining way to beat Nick Diaz then I would love to see it!
Nick is an extremely exciting fighter and Carlos completely took him out of his game by fighting smart which meant backing up and chopping him down with leg kicks.....
Sucks to see Nick retire though,hopefully that was just his emotions running high

Diaz is pissed because Condit didn't do what everyone else does with him--let him talk s* and then engage him like he wants so he can land a ton of punches against the cage. The first two rounds he kept putting his hands up and acting like a child until he got snap kicked in the face and all the sudden he realized he was in trouble. Too bad, so sad.

@Gastronaut yes thank you sir.
Point in case. Diaz can't expect every opponent to just come out and bang with him. First his excuse was people took him down and wrestled him. Now, he fought a guy with struck with him for 23 minutes, and avoided getting subbed and Diaz resorted to taking him down ( which is hypocritical of Diaz). Diaz flourishes on the cage, and anytime it got to the cage, Condit threw a solid leg kick and rolled out.. SMART. I had Diaz going into this fight, and I love Diaz, but I don't see how he won.
I had
10-9 Condit RD 1

10-9 Condit RD3
10-9 Condit RD 4
10-9 Diaz Rd 5

At the end of the day, I'm not Nick Diaz's biggest fan and I've got nothing really against Condit. I just hope Condit smashes GSP.
