Who will win the interim gold - Nick DIAZ vs Carlos CONDIT?

Don't just vote, explain how you think the fight will go, provide some reasons for your choice.

I'm backing Nick Diaz to win. Condit may be a more refined striker, but I have a strong feeling that Diaz will outfight him to a close, competitive decision win in a really great fight, 48-47 x3.

Diaz, Fitch beats them both

Bigg Panch · 12-07-2011, 06:50 PM

Diaz will beat the fuck outta this dude even worse than he woulda beat the fuck outta GSP, which was gonna be pretty bad.

Stoo · 12-07-2011, 06:56 PM

Fitch is way overrated.

I hope Diaz, but I`m wondering how he will deal with Condit`s height? Diaz has always been the taller fighter but not in that fight

achillesthegreat · 12-08-2011, 08:28 AM

Oh this is gonna be fucking violent. Whoever wins this gets serious momentum heading into a GSP fight.

Ne5ville14 · 12-08-2011, 12:40 PM

Finally maybe we are going to see the old GSP back if he need to take back his belt !!

achillesthegreat · 12-08-2011, 12:49 PM

I don't know yet. I think Condit comes in great shape, similar to Diaz and he has some serious power in his knees and he isn't scared to kick or elbow. Diaz has a great workrate and will fight to the death but he can be hurt.

At the moment, I'm thinking Condit might have the power, versatile/slightly unorthodox striking to hurt Diaz but also have the energy to try and finish.

Condit TKO.

CC is explosive enough to get in on the inside and land a well placed shot.

The days on Nick's chin are numbered.. I like the guy, but he's too easy to hit.

I think that it will be a good back and forth stand up fight in the first couple of rounds, but I see the fight hitting the ground somewhere in the 4th and Diaz securing a sub on Condit.

marsupial · 12-09-2011, 03:21 AM

Condit KO 3rd.

The opposite is clearly possible based on what we saw against ''Semtex'' Daley. This is a no-takedowns fight in 3 rounds so I don't see any sub happening unless Condit goes stupid.

If this goes main event, the 5 rounder will add a lot to this fight, might favor Diaz a bit more though.

I want condit to win cause he's an awesome fighter and real classy guy, but I'd still prefer seeing Diaz win as the hype for a future GSP/Diaz match up would reach it's peak. GSP would be mad and hungry while Nick would be cocky and even more loud mouthed. Good future ahead for WW division although we'll have to be patient.

It's a title fight so it will be five rounds.

I'll favour Diaz in a five round fight over almost anyone currently at WW. Condit will be very dangerous early, and a stoppage from either one is not outside the realm of possibility at any point during the fight, but I think Diaz will keep the pace high well into the fourth and fifth and Condit will start to fade late.
