I think it depends on his contract

If he’s still got fights (which he probably does), he ain’t going anywhere. Even if he does, he’ll come back once he figures out he’ll make a FRACTION of what he thinks he will.

I don’t think it’s unfair to think that Diaz probably won at least 2 rounds, rounds 2 and 5. 5 was close, but I scored it for Diaz. Condit took 3 and 4 easily, and I think round 1 was incredibly close.

MMA is more than just about "fighting." And people have to realize that. It's a sport, and part of the sport is strategy.

And Condit did not just run around. He outstruck Diaz. MMA is more than just two guys standing in the pocket and trading punches. That’s what makes MMA so beautiful.

I just got back home from seeing the pay per view on the big screen in 3D. More on that in another comment I’ll post a little later.

I’ll be very interested in hearing what everyone said about the decision, which I have to wait for until the show is available for download. While I’ve always disliked the Diaz boys, I was surprised that Condit won, especially with those scorecards. The big crowd in the auditorium had a mixed reaction to the decision.

Diaz should have changed strategy after the first two rounds. It was clear Condit wasn't going to play that game.

But he didn’t. And he lost. It is what it is.

The 3D Experience

So, I went to a theatre a little north of Orlando to watch the pay per view on the big screen. It was like a 45 minute drive just to get there and then another 45 minutes to get back home, but it was worth it.

I don’t know if anyone reading this heard about the experience, so here are some details. As I mentioned just above, the picture quality wasn’t exactly HD, but aside from some ghosting the 3D effect worked. There was a minor hiccup or two, but none during the actual fights.

Most importantly, there were not only completely different camera angles, but also different announcers! No Goldy and Rogan, but rather Anik and Florian. The former was good, the latter… he was tolerable most of the time.

There weren’t really any crowd shots so I had to try and spot some celebrities in the front row, and the only ones I saw were MC Hammer and (I swear) Pete Rose!

Other than that, it was a real good experience. Oh, and at least where I went, the price was 20 instead of 25 bucks.

i wonder if Pete lost his ass tonight.

Call me when he does anything meaningful

Throwing heavy leather at Joe Beltran is fine, but you can get some local guy to do that too. He hasn’t shown me anything to believe that he’s top-anything.

As a Roy Nelson fan it saddens me to say

he is no where near the top echelon of heavyweights, but he is still very fun to watch.
