Man I have to applause Carlos Condit. He is now the new UFC Interim Welterweight champion. Beating a fighter of Nick Diaz’ caliber is not an easy task. Condit used a lot of movement in the cage to avoid Diaz’ strikes. The kicks he utilized may have won him the fight.
When I scored the fight, I had rounds 1, 3-5 for Condit and gave Diaz round 2. Call me crazy but that is how I saw it. It looks like Carlos Condit will fight George St. Pierre. Nick Diaz mentioned retiring. I really don’t think he will do this. He was upset about the outcome.
How the heck did you give Diaz the fifth round?
I gave Diaz just round 2. I think he lost the rest. Condit fought the perfect fight and now has a chance to possibly do the same against GSP.
He fought a good fight, with a strategy that was right for Diaz, but he didn’t win round 5. No way.
I’ll re-watch the 5th round. I might of got things confused.
