Rumor has it that Belfort/Bisping is set for UFC 156. I got Belfort by TKO, his skill set matches up well with Bisping's.

Rashad could get into problems if he tries to box

yup, and Rashad has a habit at times of thinking he's sugar ray robinson in there.

if rashad sticks to wrestling, he'll win. if he tries to box, lil nog will win.

Wouldn't call him Run Do It considering how many finishes the kid has. It wasn't the prettiest strategy to watch (esp if u were rooting Diaz) but I'm not mad at him for how he fought Diaz had he stayed stationary he'd have gotten Stockton slapped against the cage and taunted all night. He didn't have strong enough grappling to keep Diaz down

basically the fight went a bit like this.

you should be in there to DEFEAT your opponent, not WIN. Its called fighting, not wrestling or olympics.

Stupid video, highlights some of the best leg kickers in the business and comparing them to strikes by Condit meant to maintain distance and prevent a boxing match.

Hate the strategy all you want and even the decision if you want to too since it was a close but it was hardly a running man performance like Guida's.

People want to discount Condits leg kicks as slaps when Diaz's style of boxing is called the "Stockton slap"

I should post the video that's got it rewinded 10 times so you can see how he's back pedaling like a USC cornerback. and how ridiculous you sound.

Perhaps he should beat GSP just so he can fight Diaz again and he can BJJ that azz, because the way he took his back in the 5th effortlessly shows he could have mangled him throughout the fight, he wanted to put a show (most fighters do and say this) and lost. the other wanted points, and won. wtf. he never EVER tried to finish the fight. and thats fukking wack. thats the problem with the UFC compared to organizations like Pride. They cater to wrestlers.

The Art of Not Fighting. It's like a shytty game of tag. My own opinion, but I don't care to see that kind of fight.

I'm a fan of Condit but he didn't FIGHT that night. He was just there to get a W. I can't say I wouldn't do the same but let's at least acknowledge what happened that night. Condit didn't want it with Diaz because if he fought his usual style he would've been served so he did what he had to do.

No hate. Just truth. Why else would he alter his style so drastically? He couldn't meet Diaz at that level so he changed the field. I don't like it but I understand.
