So, I don't know about last night. I don't have a problem with the decision, Condit did enough to win (as did Diaz depending on how you look at it), but I do take issue with the scores, no way in hell did Condit win 4 rounds.

I didn't see it but it sounded like the consensus either thought he should have lost because he fought with his head and didn't fight Diaz's fight or that he won only 3 rounds and not 4.

I think he won, he did fight a smart fight, he avoided letting Diaz put him against the cage and work combos and he stayed mobile avoiding a dogfight. I don't always put faith in the compustrike numbers telling the tale if a fight, but in this case I think they do; quite simply Condit landed more total strikes and that's where the fight was decided. I think he won 3/5 rounds, and I wouldn't have had a problem with round 3 being scored a draw. I just hope that when Condit v GSP happens, we see a Carlos Condit who is less hesitant in the opening rounds.

I hope condit changes things up and makes things exciting with gsp. Gsp is such a great technical fighter, that watching him puts me to sleep.

i love motorcycles, cigars, and women, in no particular order. not much else to say.

i personally think Diaz won but i can really understand why Condit got the decision, looks like Condit is a master in Greg Jackson fighting now by fighting for points/ decision victorys, good news is i think Dana just put up its gonna be a rematch for may i think back in Vegas, looks like a road trip for me, lol hopefully diaz works on his takedowns and tries to finish because Condit is just gonna back up and kick again

Wow roller coaster the last few days. Dana says Condit vs Diaz rematch is on now Diaz has been popped for the refer again and his brother insists he is staying retired. I wonder who will get the next shot if Condit chooses not to wait on GSP. Kos, Ellenberger, Hendriks?

Nick will be Nick, not surprised that he is on the reefer, but I am surprised he got popped, I figured he was a master of the herbal flush routine. This is a bit off the tracks, but I think the punishment doesn't fit the crime in this case...it's a pretty hard sell to convince me that pot enhances performance in any way, with the exception of making Nick Diaz halfway sociable. On the one hand I realize that marijuana use is against NSAC rules and I'm fine with that, but on the other hand I'm not ok with the sentence that will likely be handed down...everybody knows Nick Diaz smokes weed, almost everybody knows he has no intention of not smoking weed, I guess that's the roundabout way of saying a year + 40% of his fight purse is beyond excessive. Not condoning what Diaz does, but I'm of the camp that what an adult does in their own time is their business, exempting steroids of course, and not the AC's. Perhaps they should test for alcohol metabolites too. Ok, I'm off my soapbox.

On the other topic, I can see either Condit v Ellenberger or Ellenberger v Hendricks for no 1 contender. I'm guessing it will depend on how soon they want Condit back in there.

Rampage missed weight by 5 pounds for his fight against Ryan "Darth" Bader tomorrow in Japan. WTH Rampage?!? How unprofessional. I don' t know what his excuse or excuses are, but, to me, it does not matter. You should never miss your weight. He will give 20% of his purse to Ryan though. The fight is still on, thank god. I'll be baco tomorrow with my predictions. I'm a Rampage fan but tomorrow I'll be pulling for.my bud Darth to KO him.

I could eat a sack full of White Castle's right now!

Disappointed he didn't make weight. I love Rampage though, I hope he wins!

Yeah I was pretty shocked Rampage missed weight so badly. He told Dana before the presser when he asked his weight that he didn't wanna know and they laughed. Still love Rampage though. He's too funny not too.

Picks:
Edgar vs Henderson: Edgar but I could see it going either way. Picked Frankie based off of his ridiculous run that he's on.
Rampage vs Bader: Rampage
Pettis vs Lozon: Pettis
Kongo vs Hunt: Kongo
Shields vs Akiyama: Shields
Okami vs Boetsch: Okami

I think they put together a great card for the Japan return

It was an awesome card. Great fights. Great finishes. It seemed like everyone upped their game tonight. Congrats to the new champ. Bendo is a beast. I really hope to see a rematch within the next 12-18 months. Some great KO's tonight. And, you got to love the Japanese fans. Quiet but respectful. I do think I heard them boo Darth Bader at one point though.

I'm really hoping Edgar drops to 145 and fights Aldo now that he's not the champ. I'd love to see him and Aldo fight

I'd much rather have that than a rematch!

That was a pretty awesome card. Love seeing Mark Hunt do well, and I'm not gonna lie, I loved seeing Kongo get knocked out.

So does Cantwell get cut now?, he's now lost 5 in a row and obviously doesn't belong in the major league. I'd say Kid Yamamoto falls into that category too.

I wouldn't hate seeing Edgar go down, but I'd much rather see him stay at 155...I don't see how one loss all of a sudden makes him unable to compete at lightweight, and it's not like Bendo beat him down.
