    It looks like this fight will be happening sometime in the near future.

    The first fight was very competitive going into the third round, with Rory having the edge on the scorecards. The third round, Condit took over and completely dominated to the point of a late round TKO. What happens in the rematch?

    Good fight. I'm going with Condit again on a hunch.

    I really need to watch more of Rory's fights. Does he have any stamina issues? I will go ahead and say MacDonald does not get caught late, and wins a decision this time over the course of 3 rounds.

    The reasons I ask about his stamina are because he was stopped late in a fight he was winning early, and he let off the steam when he had Penn against the cage. I do not believe for a second that MacDonald backed off so Penn could carry on. MacDonald backed off so that he, himself, could carry on.

    I'm not the only one to make the comparison with Bateman and not Hitler...

    I think Bateman is a better call...but anyways....


    I had it even on MY scorecard going into the third for the first fight.

    I think Rory take the win in the second fight with an UD.

    There is no way he can finish Condit with either a TKO or a sub...

    His stamina seemed to be an issue in the Condit fight, yeah, but I think he has fixed it since. That fight was fought at a very high pace, and Condit is the type of guy that gets stronger the longer a fight lasts. Rory went three pretty hard fought rounds against Nate Diaz and the third round was his most dominant. I don't have an explanation for why he didn't try harder to finish Penn, but I don't think it was because he was tired, or feared becoming tired.

    i think bateman was just sending a message or maybe the young psycho was just enjoying himself

    I want Condit to spark him. Rory is hittable and Condit had the size and power to get his respect.

    I think Rory will pace himself a little better and take a decision this time round though.

    I've watched all of Rory's fights from the Condit fight and onwards. I didn't even think he had stamina issues in that fight, and he surely didn't in the ones that followed. Condit simply broke him down, he really kicked his ass in that round.

    It was evident that Rory could hurt Penn basically any time he wanted to, so I believe he decided to just let Penn go the distance. But at the same time he went on and showboated like an ass during the fight, so I don't really know what was happening in his head at the time.

    I think MacDonald will be more cautious in his approach in the rematch. Still, it's a pick em fight.
     
  15. Great first fight. Technical battle between two students of mma. Rory's youth showed in the later stages. It's more interesting this time round
