Nick Diaz is the first WEC welterweight champion
Which means that this fight is between the first and last WEC welterweight champions.

Good analogy Hendo. The only thing Condit and Cerrone can do better than Nick or Nate is throw kicks, and the Diaz brothers walk through kicks like the Prodigy walk through mindfields homie.
except condit has a better killer instinct and insane cardio to
And he’s a much smarter fighter to then cerrone.

Do you think he will put this belt on?
Cause when he won the strikeforce belt he didn’t consider it the real deal.
And he isn’t the champ if he wins this interm garbage

You can’t criticize anything about GSP or his performances in the cage KJ, if you do it means you’re nothing more than a ‘just bleed’ type who understands nothing about the technical side of fighting and should stick to Toughman contests. In fact, it’s been proven that anyone who finds GSP anything less than thrilling is more prone to psychotic behaviour and various other personality disorders.
Ah, yes, the Canadian Homer defense :)
GSP is great. But he’s no Michael Bisping.

No.
Max Holloway is a nobody in the UFC. Ed Herman is probably a more recognizable name and just had two consecutive sick finishes.

Point taken.
Ed Herman is absolutely nowhere near a title shot, though, while I definitely support Poirier for getting the next shot at Aldo, or if he moves up, fighting Koch or KZ for the title.

Have you ever seen Holloway fight?
This fight could easily take FOTN if Diaz and Condit weren’t fighting. Plus Poirier could easily be in line for a shot at the belt soon.

More like a competitive one
GSP’s last 3 fights have been against either undeserving challengers (Hardy) or one-dimensional fighters completely out of their depth standing with someone like GSP (Shields, Koscheck).
This fight cannot fail.

I think I might be a Diaz hater and I love seeing those guys fail for no reason at all
But I honestly see nothing that convinces me that Condit could ever beat Diaz. Which makes me a bit sad.
Daley dropped Diaz a few times
so the idea that Nick definitely wins on the feet is kinda overblown. Condit’s striking is a thing of beauty as far as I’m concerned; the perfect mix of technical and aggressive, and FAR more diverse than Daley. I don’t think the idea of Condit rocking Diaz a few times is out of the question.
Carlos will have to fight a smart fight, which he is likely to do since he has Greg Jackson in his corner. I really think that more than any other fighter, he has the ability to fight a smart, patient fight until the time comes to swarm, at which point he flips a switch and turns into an aggressive, bloodthirsty beast. Fighting smart AND still retaining a killer instinct: it’s possible. Take notes GSP.
Additionally, his ground game is excellent. He has a few slick submissions on his record, and his fight with Kampmann showed some great, high level sub defense. I’m not saying that he’s better than Diaz, but his past, combined with the wrestling training he’s getting at Jackson’s makes me think that he’ll be able to hold his own on the ground.
I’m not saying that Carlos WILL win, but I think he has a pretty good shot.

Daley is a better striker than Carlos.
Carlos is a better fighter than Daley, but Daley is the better striker.

SUPREMEREEM just gave Brock Liverkickulitis
I won't argue too hard against that
and I’ll agree wholeheartedly on just his hands, but I think that Carlos’ more well rounded striking game, as well as his ability to hold his own on the ground (and thus not fear the takedown as much) makes him the better overall striker in my book.
Not that he’s any slouch either, but BJ was outstriking Diaz before he gassed. I’m just making the piont that as effective as Diaz’ striking is, there are ways to beat it.
Based on KO's
Daley = 20 KO wins
Condit = 13 KO wins

and KO is Daley's only means of finishing
Carlos isn’t as reliant on them because his submission game is pretty slick. Doesn’t mean that he’s a worse striker; he just has more options.
by Shaun32887 on Jan 17, 2012 2:02 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Condit might be the more technical striker
But he doesn’t have Daley’s power, which is what you need to put a Diaz on his back
Cecil People's Champs
Still the head conductor of the Charles Oliveira hype train.
I said might
Daley is highly technical for the style of fighter he is, which is brawler and power puncher, but that style is inherently not really all that tightened up.
People confuse being “better technically” with being “better” a lot.
Cecil People's Champs
Still the head conductor of the Charles Oliveira hype train.
I'm not sure I understand you
A brawler is, at least in my definition, a not very technical fighter, and regarding Daley I disagree with that, he has some clean technical muay thai and I believe him to be more technical than Daley, although Condit improved a lot in the last years
Brawlers can be technical
Watch an old George Foreman fight. The man knew what he was doing, but he was a brawler. Its someone who stays aggressive and likes to throw power shots.
Cecil People's Champs
Still the head conductor of the Charles Oliveira hype train.
I guess it's a question of definition
nonetheless I wouldn’t classify Daley as a brawler, when his opponents are able to pressure him like Diaz could, he somewhat falls into brawler mode, but so do most people, if not I feel Daley to be very methodical with his striking and very technical sound, watch Daley vs Kampman, I think that fight displays it very well
i never hesitate
to put a diaz on his back.

Denny, Noons, Cyborg, Whitemare, sure, not the strongest opposition, but there is absolutely no denying his skills. I’m a MASSIVE Condit fan and I think Diaz is going to slapbox Condit en route to a 50-45.

I think Diaz takes it
The Diaz brothers throw so many punches I think eventually Condit is going to get overwhelmed. Even if Nick goes down more than his brother, he recovers pretty quickly. The pure amount of offensive output should be enough to win him some 10-8 rounds late against almost anyone in the division who doesn’t have the wrestling skills to at least break up his rhythm (even if he does have some really mean sweeps).
Luckily Condit does have amazing heart and aggression, so we might see these guys stand in the middle of the cage and just slug it out until someone drops dead. Certainly the guy who starts to step back is the guy who is going to lose.

i really dont see condit backing up
He’s never been finished by strikes in his career (KO or TKO) while Nick has and we’be seen Nick get dropped a lot while I don’t remember the last time condit was. Condit takes this imo 3rd round TKO
by benten20 on Jan 17, 2012 4:03 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
At the same time Condit has never faced someone with the pure offensive output of Diaz
Also, I’m pretty sure Rory Mac dropped Condit.
I just don’t see Condit finishing Diaz. I think he could win a decision, but if someone gets stopped I think it’s Condit. There is just something insane about a guy throwing hundreds of punches and landing so many of them cleanly.
