UFC 143 Results: Carlos Condit Beats Nick Diaz

Wow that was a great fight i don’t know why Diaz is mad but then again he is never happy Condit won that fight fair and square and he is now the champion

Congratulation Mr Condit

Good job Condit, but backpedaling and throwing front kicks and leg kicks for 5 rounds dosnt constitute a victory in my book. He probably back peddled the boston marathon that fight

Round 1: Condit barely
Round 2: too close to call
Round 3: Condit barely
Round 4: Condit clearly
Round 5: Diaz barely (by virtue of the takedown and submission attempts near the end.

Our whole group of folks watching thought Condit won 3-2 or 4-1.

Condit used leg kick s and lateral movements to avoid the volume punches of Diaz.
In cases Diaz came inside got a few punches, Condit ran to the left side of his.

Nice game plan by Jackson camp.
One can only wonder why Diaz didnt increase the intensity in round 4 and 5. He should have clinched Condit up towards the fence in round 4 to tire him out. then in round 5 just run after Condit like wildman.

Nick finally fought someone of similar size (real sized WW, not someone with .500 career record at WW like LW Penn) and we saw results, i hope they put Ellenberger Vs Diaz, Ellenberger via dominant dec. or TKO. then UFC has some other nice real sized WWs like McDonald, Hendricks, etc. to throw at Diaz if he wants some more.

he looked down at winner’s announcement not that excited like he always does when he puts the belt on the winner, but great fight, condit took his time and picked apart diaz

Carlos Condit also looked like he took a light stroll down the alley barely broke sweat, his face didnt have a scratch, no damage whatsover.
Diaz face looked like it was slashed and smashed in few places, now someone needs to take a pic of Diaz legs up close.

Diaz is like the devil just an evil person not good for anything. just a bad seed a demon kid.

And judging how McDonad handled condit for the first 2 rounds GSP gonna smash him, assuming his knee is %100

Well, steroid junkie sure knows how to run away. Good for him.

Diaz isn’t worth having the UFC because he is not a good person but a low life who has zero class and brings nothing but shame to MMA. good riddance and take the brother with you. there is always barber college.

Very close fight but I had Carlos winning the fight. Even though Diaz was pushing the pace, he wasn’t landing much combinations as Carlos. Anyway, it was pretty exciting fight to watch, happy for Carlos.

Condit is clearly the better fighter. Condit proved something else to Diaz. You can be intense and not be a dick. I love it, Diaz has faced other guys with better skillsets, but the pace he set usually wore them down. Tonight he met a guy with a better skillset, plus a guy who could match his pace.

I’m not surprised Diaz is taking his ball and going home. That seems to be the type of guy he is.

There is good in the world as evil took a loss with Diaz going down hopefully forever. I am sure with All of Diaz’s charm there are many opportunities for him in the business world. tatoo maker-circus and carnival work-janitor-circus clown

How can you give the fight to a guy that ran away all night. That is what Nick is pissed about.

Wow that was it I expected a war fo real.. Condit may have won but to me fighting like that is real pussy..there is a difference between good foot work and head movement to turning your back and running. I’m sorry but if anyone thinks that was a good fight you haven’t watched mma for that long..pls that was bs u would never c that type of shit in boxing!!

Beaten up plain and simple.he lost big decisively. give him a split decision loss instead if it would make some diaz fan boys happy
but he got served up.

in the ufc, when it goes to the judges, it’s just an opinion who won the round, but it is supposed to be scored on who dominated the round. I’m just as biased as the next guy, but condit did nothing of significance in the first two rounds except run away. he won the third but neither did much in the 4th, but at the end of the 5th he was fighting for his life. if condit dominated how is it that diaz was never down or even threatened. sorry, but when a fighter runs away for the whole fight he didnt dominate. he did what he had to do to survive and even win, but he did not dominate.

Neil, you want REAL pussy..the stuff of legend. Crybaby of the CENTURY.
“That ain’t right,” Diaz said. “I pushed him back the whole fight. … I think I’m done with this MMA. … I don’t need this s—t.”
Retire because YOU couldn’t implement your gameplan, because what patty cake limp wristed punches you landed could never knock him out, and because Condit didn’t fall for your shit talking and chopped your legs out from under you. Cry like the loser you ARE! LOL

Decision is an utter disgrace. Rogan and Goldberg have no choice but to tow the party line in this one. Diaz won a close fight. Two judges scored it 49-46? Horseshit. TWO…not one lone idiot…TWO…that tells me all I need to know. Horseshit. Zuffa can’t control diaz…no way is he getting the belt on a decision. Neither will his brother. Condit ran away and kicked Nick’s leg for eighty percent of the fight. Dana sucks and Zuffa are a pack of Ron Paul worshipping right wing assholes. Yes…Ron Paul. If Joe Rogan tweets for Ron Paul you gotta know that’s who Dana likes…Too bad Nick. I wish there was competition to the UFC. NOBODY SHOULD BUY ST PIERRE CONDIT…it will suck.

I think you all missed Diaz’s point. He doesn’t accept it as a loss because the points system the judges employ is flawed. You should not be allowed to fight the type of fight that Carlos Condit fought. You should be penalized for evasion and not engaging. You should be rewarded for ring control, the amount of damage the strikes you land cause, aggression etc.The same logic goes for GSP. Ever since he’s gotten the belt he lays on top of his opponent and grinds out a decision. Never attempts a submission or really attempts any strikes. Just wrestles out a UD win.

@danawhite you better booked a rematch b/w NicK Diaz and Condit! Diaz was not hurt and was chasing down that scared condit all nite. Rematch

@danawhite you better book a rematch b/w NicK Diaz and Condit! Diaz was not hurt and was chasing down that scared condit all nite. Rematch

Diaz is a sore looser. With his face busted, he says Condit gave him baby kicks. Lol!

I was impressed by Condit tonight!

maybe now Diaz can keep his filthy foul mouth shut and go find a real job with all those great skills he has it should be easy. dish washer-french fry chef-juggler-hub cap thief-toll taker. Diaz is a bottom feeder. Congratultions to Condit a real gentlemen and a true representative of MMA.

was rooting for diaz but think the result was fair. have not interested in seeing gsp dry hump condit for 5 rounds to another victory, so i will save my money. gotta say getting fed up with the greg jackson style of fighting (except jones) in the big fights

Diaz lost. Suck it up. Hard to stay on a win streak when you’re finally fighting more elite competition.

…is Nick Diaz.

Funny how for years people were saying how dumb fighters were to stand in front of Diaz and brawl with him, and then when someone fights a smart fight and doesn’t go toe-toe with Diaz and wins, you call him a “pussy”.

You shouldn’t be allowed to fight like that, huh? OK. The I think fighters like Jake Shields, who spend most of their time on the ground, shouldn’t be allowed to fight “boring” fights like that.

Nick Diaz has no game plan or strategy. he looks confused, frustrated, and out-classed. He landed nothing of significance, and Condit landed some amazing combos on Diaz.

But Nick Diaz quitting at the end just shows how pathetic he is. It’s called MMA: Mixed Martial Arts….not “stand there so i can hit you and don’t move ’r else yer a pussy”

Give it a rest. You guys are Nick Diaz Nuthuggers.

so refreshing to see the good guy win against a bottom feeded like Diaz. MMA and the UFC won big tonight as a classy first rate gentleman beat down an ignorant bully. Go Condit. Let Diaz go back to washing cars.

Lol this fight didn’t even win fight of the night.

This was f’n ridiculous. Diaz clearly won at least 3 out of 5. I think I’m done with this shit until UFC can come up with some judging that actually makes sense. There are a bunch of Diaz haters on here that are blinded by their dislike of him. At least he presses the action and makes the fight interesting. Condit is a good fighter but in my opinion was exposed tonight and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to support him as a beast of a fighter again. In Condit even said he would move forward and press the fight, then he ran. He landed only a few combinations but nothing that ever actually hurt Diaz. Every card is having bad decisions lately and it’s becoming a waste of my time to watch at this point…and I’ve been a fan for over 15 years before the Zuffa era and Dana White started opening his dumbass mouth. Even Rogan was a joke tonight on the commentary. Not one person I watched the fight with tonight, including Condit fans, thought Condit won this fight. UFC….can I please get my f’n money back.

wat a waste of time.

hit that joint hard when you get home to get your mind right Nick. dont quit MMA. She’ll clear up your head.

.
This was no fight – it was a track meet.

We need a rematch only this time Carlos should actually fight Diaz. Look at Edgar vs Maynard … that’s a championship fight!

Shame on you Jackson and Condit for ruining an opportunity for a championship fight!

Nick just needs to clear his mind

Diaz failed to adjust, that’s the bottomline and now he’s acting like a spoiled immature kid and quitting MMA…. I’m just glad that belt went to Condit. He deserves it.

What a great fight!… For Carlos Condit! Man he worked his game plan to a T. Nick is such a poor sport. He wants people to not think he is a cry baby thug, but unfortunately that’s what he is! Just because you follow someone around while they punch and kick you in the face, and destroy your leg with leg kicks, does not mean you win, Nick Diaz. Poor sports quit when they loose. And that’s just what you did. You lost! If you watch it again closely, you will see that Condit won every round easily, with the exception of the fifth, and that one was to close to call. Diaz had to try and taunt Carlos because he knew he was being out classed. What a PUNK! Great fight Carlos!! I hope Nick Diaz goes back to being a street fighting thug. This sport has way to much class for the likes of Nick Diaz. Sorry Diaz fans, but Nick got worked tonight. Carlos you’re the man!!

I don’t really call "whipping" running away from Diaz every single round. The truth is (and every Boxing and MMA FAN knows it) is that UFC always too much inactivity and running away as "winning" you didn’t hurt him, you didn’t KO him, you didn’t get him to the ground…in fact you didn’t even engage the fight for more then 2 minutes combined. This my friends is not "whipping" this is laying/praying. If your the best, take him down, hurt him, KO him….sub him period. In Pride you can get DQed or have points taken way for not engaging in the fight. In Boxing you can get DQed and also have points taken away for inactivity…why is it that UFC has not done anything about this? Would you call Edgar better then BJ Penn despite Penn KOing and submitting so many more opponents? So if Edgar and Penn where in Pride….how does that sound now? Cause to me, it sounds like Edgar getting DQed for running away. I feel sorry for who ever paid to see that running fest live.

It was disrespectful when Anderson Silva did it to Maia and he should had got DQed or had points taken away for it. Its no different here. People paid to see a fight, not watch Nick punch, while Condit just ran away for 5 rounds. I don’t want to see UFC 112 like rounds ever again, and same goes for this.

If it was Pride or Deep or Dream, he would had been DQed for inactivity. UFC seems to favor a whole lot of runners. If i paid to see that, i would be pissed. So i paid to watch you run and avoid Nick Diaz? So Nick came to fight and you came to run?

Your not better then Nick Diaz if you punched him in the face and then jumped a fence and ran off. Thats not “beating” or “winning” to me. UFC seems to think otherwise. KO or Submit him, then call yourself better. If they where in Pride, this would be a whole nother story would it not? A KO or Submission is a KO or Submission anywhere. Only in UFC is “running” and avoiding any type of engagement considered a “fight” or a “win”.

So how did Diaz win this fight in your opinion? He didn’t! And why didn’t you pay for the fight? Is it because you streamed it for free like a THUG!? lol

To the people that stream hope your comp shuts down permenatly. Buying the ppv makes sure we will have more fights and supports the fighters.

After the 2nd round, Diaz lost steam in the fight. Condit would have taken the 5th round, as well, if it wasn’t for the drag-down with a minute and a half left. Who would have thought that Diaz would be the one going for desperation takedowns in this fight? Yea, not anyone. Condit was the better fighter and, by far, the greater sportsman and more respectable person. He deserved the win. Congrats, Condit.

Gentlemen…since when, I ask, has it been an acceptable notion in the world of combat sports to win a title by a., retreated and b., striking DEFENSIVELY? That is, since when do we say “He won the fight,” when “he” never took hold of the fight? I imagine your answer, gentlemen, is never…but now I am confused—how is it then that we justify a Carlos Condit victory? My answer: we cannot.

Granted the fourth round was Condit’s, and in fact, was the most decisive round of the fight BUT, Nick won the first two rounds—with ring control/aggression—and sealed the 5th with the takedown and submission attempts. The third was a toss up and had it not been for Nick’s takedown the 5th, too, would have been a toss up. HOWEVER, Nick did take him down, he did take his back, and he did work for a couple submission attempts.

No questions asked, not even debatable, Nick Diaz won that fight 3 rounds to 2, at the very least. And for everyone who is so happy that he was robbed, it’s ok, really, it is. In fact, I’m sorry that you can’t find any reason to feel good about yourself, so you try and feel good about other people’s losses. Lastly, I wouldn’t blame Nick if he retired, the fight life is a grueling existence and to be cheated like that, like he was tonight, as he has been in the past, isn’t really worth

watch it again! You’re insane if you think Diaz won!

I find it hilarious how Diaz and Diaz fan are so alike. Bunch of cry babies. Waaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

I like nick diaz style of fighting but if he decides to quit after one lose then so be it jst remember gsp forced him into retirement withought even having to fight him.

Maybe I had unrealistic hopes for this fight, but I was slightly disappointed. It was a “good” fight, but I thought it would be a barn burner for all 25 minutes. That’s probably because I didn’t expect Carlos to implement his (wise) gameplan.

Good job Carlos, but I think you’re in over your head now that you have to face GSP. But then again, I thought Diaz would win this one…..

Ask anyone in those organizations how there champions are made…not by running and non engagement, you get DQed for that there. UFC noobs just think running and marathons mean there “great fighters” and “layers and prayers” are “great” plans for a fight. Weird cause thats not what i would actually call a “fight” yet people are calling people who do this the best at it? Would he had won this if it was in Pride? LMFAO! I won cause i avoid actually fighting and abused the messed up system that UFC has. Greg Jackson is laughing very hard at you right now! LOL!

I love toe to toe bang it out matches, was this one=No. Was it a great fight=Yes…If you are a true mma fan, then you know the beauty of mma… this is not boxing, where both fighters has to be excellent at the one thing..MMA gives choices..Example-If standing is not your strong point, go to the ground..Both of these fighters obvious wanted a stand up match…Condit didnt want to stand toe to toe with diaz because of 2 things,1 thats diaz game plan {in order to win, take your opponent out his game plan] 2, he didnt want to risk anything, now risk to all you kids is a small word, but you need to learn, it has a BIG meaning. Condit stuck to his gameplan, which was to never stand still, never give diaz an oppertunity, and counter his way into a win… was Condit running=No, HE DIDNT STAND STILL… He took control of this fight and made it his….Yall shouldnt get mad at condit, for not standing still, should get mad at diaz for not adapting….Last,.. if you only like toe to toe slugfest, get off of an mma site, we make all own choices, theres many ways of winning, at the same time being dominate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figured all the crybabies would have gone to bed. You guys have been up all night wailing and gnashing your teeth.

Stop acting like you work for the UFC, the UFC doesnt care about you, cares about you money business as usual. So stop thinking every thing Dana White, Joe Rogan or FightMetric says because is always gonna be manipulated to " business as usual "
Dana White himself recognized that he bashes fighters that are not in the UFC, so he admitted lying just to make money and make the UFC look good. Love MMA dont like UFC. And all this sites are full of retarded rats that would sell their mother for money.

Congrats to Carlos… good lateral movement…and leg kicks…Stand up was even except for leg kicks…Where Nick messed up by not using knees…too much pride in his boxing…good head and footwork by Carlos repeatedly got him out of trouble…If Nick lands Knee strikes with Carlos against the fence early in the fight, that would of open things up for his boxing…1 or 2 flying knees as carlos steps back to the fence would of put a stop to the tactics Condit employed…Tactical fight…stick and move worked…I thought Nick would use more Mauy thai But he didn’t. I don’t know the strike counts, but I would say leg kicks where the difference.

Idiots that think Diaz won have no idea about the sport of boxing nor MMA. When you have an opponent in front of you, you try to exploit their weaknesses. Diaz is a better boxer so why would Condit stand and box with Diaz. Why didn’t Randy Couture stand and box with James Toney? Why didn’t Cotto brawl with Margarito?
The answer: BECAUSE THEIR NOT IDIOTS LIKE MOST OF YOU WHO THINK DIAZ WON. It was a clear 49-46 score, 4 rounds to 1. Sorry!!!!!

Nick Diaz is now officially a whiny bitch. I had him picked to win this fight, but he just didn’t pull it off. Look at his face, and then he wants to pick up his ball and go home because it didn’t go like he wanted. I’m happy to see the bitch go.

First of all great job by Carlos counter-attacking and actually landing more punches than Diaz. Condit won fair and square and actually put some thought into his gameplan. The UFC is much better without the extremely overrated Diaz brothers. Nick is 7-5 against UFC competition…what’s his claim to fame, defeating an aging and obviously worn out BJ Penn? I can’t even remember the last time brother Nate actually performed well in the octagon. Nick should be mid-card material in the UFC…take your refusal to evolve and woe is me attitude to some second rate organization and begone.

mma and the ufc does not need nick cry baby diaz who is nothing but an angry low life loser.

Anyone who thinks Diaz won more than one round knows nothing about MMA. Wasnt close at all. Diaz is a punk bitch and lost this fight. REMATCH your on drugs. Let that Bum retire, He is so overrated.

First off I am going to start with that Condit deserves the win but not like what most people are saying.
I had Diaz winning the first two rounds 10-9 and Condit clearly had rounds 3 and 4, 10-9. The deciding round was the last round. Condit for the most part kept to his game plan but felt once Diaz got him to the ground and started his submission attempts and controlling the last two minutes of the fifth he could have won. I felt at most it should have been a split decision.

Personally the judging is flawed and they try to make it up by goofing again.
Was it not last week that Chael Sonnen won a fight that the MMA community as a whole including Dana White believed Michael Bisping won?
I don’t want to cry conspiracy but is it possible the judges may not be in favor of giving the fight to Diaz so the sport doesn’t appear to favor big money fights as to who actually deserves it?

Also this fight was reminiscent of the Machida v. Jackson fight. Anyone remember that one? No…. Really? Ok so let me remind you.

In the Machida/Jackson fight Jackson was stalking Machida and all Machida was doing was running away and counter punching and kicking whenever Jackson went in. Hmmm that game plan sounds really familiar. But yet Jackson walked away with a split decision victory. So I suppose history wasn’t so kind to do the opposite for Diaz.

So I might seem a little jaded. I’m a huge fan of both Diaz and Condit and either fighter winning would make me happy as I feel both can bring the title back to the USA. Sorry I’m a fan of GSP also but lets face it, we all love a hometown hero.

Congratulations Condit. I hope Diaz comes back and gets the fight that everyone wants to see. Here we saw Strikeforce v. WEC and this will actually unify all three titles to show who is the best.

Let Diaz quit because he isn’t good for MMA and bascially isn’t a good person. Diaz is a demon seed that is rotting from the inseide out ans can infect all those he comes into contact with. the UFC is better off without Diaz and the stench he brings with him permeating the air with a foul odor of badness and a lack of class.

baby Nicky quitting and going home crying all the way. like there are options for Diaz in life.

This was a weird result imo.

If you were to judge the fight overall, forgetting about the point system, I would say that Condit won it. But under the current UFC point system, Diaz should have gotten the nod.

Diaz won rds 1 & 2. Condit won rd 3 and definitely rd 4.
Diaz secured the 5th round with the takedown and submission attempts.

Factor in that Diaz was pressing forward and had Octagon control, and tried to finish with submission attempts — Diaz definitely deserved to win under the current rules. He did enough to win 3 rounds and get the nod even though I feel overall Condit landed more and won the fight.

That’s the problem with the UFC judges — there’s just no consistency.

If that was GSP and he did exactly what Diaz did to Condit, GSP would have been awarded the decision 100% no doubt about it.
