Dana White: Carlos Condit Accepts Rematch With Nick Diaz

the805dork

Ok it’s one thing to to be out-struck by leg kicks while countering and RETRIEVING all the time. and totally different thing to call Condit a pussy . he is with Greg Jackson. a very smart mastermind MMA coach. where he prefer the safe, point collecting victory OVER the exciting breath taking war loss. with the exception of fighters like Jones and Carwin.

on the other hand the real losers here in this fight is US fans . we want to see GSP VS Diza . not VS Condit. although it’s unfair to strip Condit his belt just because Dana White and fans did not got what we want . but in the same time if you are a real champion, you should shut up all critics by wining a rematch in a dominant fashion specially that he gonna wait for GSP for too long. if Condit was able to beat diaz one last time then he is THE MAN.

and just my opinion : Diaz won that first fight.

And I’m sure the UFC has promised Carlos a shit load for the rematch.

The UFC delivers.

I want to see a rematch as well but think that diaz should have at least one winning match in the meantime. There are plenty of WW’s that he could fight first before getting a shot at the interim belt just because alot of fans/fighters didnt agree with the decision. I had condit winning and i watched the fight live then twice more with the volume off (same as i did machida v shogun I). I like both fighters but was suprised at carlos game plan being that it was far from his usual style but in retrospect it was a perfect plan to get the W.

Opinions on diaz having to fight again before rematch?

Do all you kids see that? If you whine and bitch enough you can eventually get what you want !!

wow, maybe Nick will have a better gameplan and not listen to his lil bro Nate saying he’s winning every round

I really never have seen such a reaction on the internet and social media over a fight. There arent enough diaz fans to account for all this so obviously when somebody pays 60 buck for a fight they want to see a fight. I guess with the shit fights on fox and dana supporting sopa this rematch makes a lot of people happy.

It’s the only way this makes any sense.

FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN!

but hey for real though. Nick Diaz won that first fight.

Condit beat Diaz in the first fight according to the judges, Dana White, the stats and most of the media and fans. A rematch is not needed. It’s much more difficult for the previous winner in an automatic rematch situation to find the motivation to train hard and try to win the fight again. What should have happened is GSP should have been removed from his status as champion and Condit made the undisputed champ. Then a rematch would have made sense only after both Condit and Diaz won, at least, one fight against other fighters. However, Condit is too much of a company man, he bent to Dana’s pressure.

How is Nick Diaz not a “point-fighter” after he hit Penn with all those “baby punches” in their fight? He never came close to dropping Penn in that fight. He just racked up points with his punches the same way Condit racked up points with his kicks.

ive been on a couple sites, can anyone tell me when a fight has ever got this much reaction or been such a 50/50 split ? I would hope they put it on fox but with all that money carlos got i doubt they will.

You cant be serious,

Im not a judge, and I scored the fight for Diaz, mainly becasue of the whole aggression thing and the fact that he didnt look at all concerened by what Condit had. HOWEVER, Condit did win. It could be the worse decision in the world, I dont care, but a decision is a decision. It completely undermines the already rediculus judging system to just say “oh well you know what, thats not the outcome anyone wanted, and it was a close one anyway, so, rematch?”, Not to mention its unfair on Condit. What happens if Condit wins by decision again?, best of 5?

Here’s my personal opinion of what should happen. Strip GSP of the title and give it to Condit, and let Condit defend it. It seams harsh, but you cannot have a title holder out of the game for a year and a half without defending his belt. As soon as GSP is good to fight again, he can fight the current champ streight away. That seams fair. In the mean time if Diaz wants a rematch then he has to work for it. I hate it when fighters ask, or indeed demand an immidiate rematch despite the fact they lost. Vitor Belfort asking for one, despite the fact he got knocked out in the first round. Chael Sonnen getting one, despite the fact that he got submitted in the 5th, (Chael did beat Andersen silva up, and IMO deserved to win, but he still lost, fair and square). And now Diaz is going to get one, when he lost?. If, in this case the fight is being held again becasue of a poor judges decision, then its time we either changed the way fights are scored, or just be happy with the decision in the first place.

Forgive spelling,

I think it’s good for MMA for this to be rematched… Good for Carlos and his family and good for Diaz and team….Know we will see who is the best for sure….I would like to see a rematch of Caceras andFigarero.

what if diaz wins.then we need a rubber match cause gsp hurt his other leg..lol.that would suck for gsp good for us fans to see rubber match if diaz can win..

This fight will be won in the clinch.

Really the only people I’ve seen complaining about the first result are Nick Diaz fanbois. From someone who enjoys both fighters immensely I think it’s retarded that Carlos is being forced (pretty well) to have a rematch. Nick got outpointed and had no answer for Condit, period. Nick couldn’t get a takedown… lets not forget Nick was going for takedowns in the middle rounds. Carlos peppers and slows him. Makes him look like an average Joe and Nick gets the GSP treatment and an immediate rematch for a loss.

I love the UFC but this is stupid, I gotta say. This is from an unbiased standpoint. I enjoy both Condit and Diaz very much. This rematch talk makes the sport seem like a little bit of a farce to be honest. I can’t help but feel that way about this.

As someone said earlier: What is Carlos wins again, you guys want 3/5 then?

I am sure the reason why is because the UFC either offered him to wait for GSP or a rematch with Diaz and then told him how much money he would make now that he is the champ and he decided to fight ASAP because he will only have a limited window to get paid champion money

If Diaz wins, does Carlos get an immediate rematch?

It would be a fucked up sumthing if diaz loses again !!!

So this time he better knock condit out and dont leave it up to the judges
Or at least a TKO !!!

Theire first fight was boring as hell not to take the win away from condit
he just excuted his game plan …Made his point,s by doing so ..
dont hate the player hate the game !!!

I sure hope the re-match wil come soon so DIAZ can win this time
and i hope by tko or ko ..if he loses again it sure would be a shitty situation

condit won, why a rematch? Nothing controversial there.

Put the rematch in Brazil with Silva Sonnen 2 Biggest PPV in UFC history

I have no complaints here. I’m so glad that Condit is open to a rematch. It’s the best financial, and intellectual way to approach this. Definitely bigger pay day. If Condit wins again, no one can complain. Even if it goes down the EXACT same way, I will have nothing to say and Condit should then shut up the naysayers and solidified his spot amongst the elite of his division. Now, all we have to hope for is that Diaz won’t be ignorant about this. Accept the rematch. Beat Condit. Bank another beautiful pay day. Take a serious vacation. Fight GSP upon his return.

The fight could have went both ways. I thought Condit won 3-2, but two or three of those rounds could have gone both ways. Diaz can’t be pissed that Condit didn’t play into his game. That would be like him having a wrestling match with GSP. MMA is not Street Fighter, Condit did what he had to do to win the fight, just as Diaz had to do what he had to do to attempt to get Carlos to fall into Nicks gameplan. But to the judges that scored it 4-1 what fight were u watching. It was 3-2 toss up. Wouldn’t have been suprised if Diaz won, but as Dana preaches, “Dont leave it in the hands of the Judges.” Now the rematch is agreed upon and its a clean slate. Next time one of the two need to finish it.

There were a few times where Carlos actually ran away from the fence to the middle of the octogon. But who cares because they are rematching!!!

thing for everyone involved. Including Carlos Condit. He needs this rematch just as much as Nick Diaz if not more. He is now labeled as a safety first fighter, a points fighter, and someone who is not a “real fighter”. I’m not saying any of this is true but it’s true that is how is being perceived. Accepting a rematch with Nick is the best and only way to shed those negative connotations. He will also have the upper hand with the UFC in negotiations meaning a huge payday for him. To become a superstar in the UFC a fighter needs to win the fans over, and this is a great opportunity for Carlos to do just that and make a lot of money while doing it.

..the UFC gave in to the knucklehead fan base, what i want to know; does Condit get an immediate re-match if Diaz wins a close decision?

WOW i cant believe that Condit got this one. Diaz slapped the guy and he still ran like a little girl who does that. I mean come on man really he just got slapped got shit talked to him the whole dame fight and he was still scared to square up with the dude. And to top it off who kicks someone that many times and doesnt do that much damage? SERIOUSLY you getting paid to hurt some one and your not even doing that? What kind of fighter is he???? Grow some man and then get back in that ring with Diaz!!

unbelievable.

Wow! That seems so unfair.

1-It eliminates Condit’s win.
2-If Diaz wins fight II, that should only make them equal in my view.
3-Now Diaz knows Condit’s game plan.

Then we also know the reasons Dana is proposing this fight now:
1-He doesn’t want to loose Diaz
2-He doesn’t know who Condit should face until GSP comes back
3-Fans are more interested in seeing GSP vs DIaz then GSP vs the best contender.

…as mmafighter1969 points out, where does it leave things if Diaz wins a close decision. Even Diaz wins with a TKO, I don’t think it really settles anything – they will still be 1 and 1. Maybe Dana knows something we don’t about GSP’s recovery, but I don’t like this at all. All these instant rematches are getting old.

The second fight will never happen for a couple of reasons.

First: Diaz said, “I’m outta this (crap)…” If we can’t take the man at his word, well then I just don’t know anymore… OK, it’s Nick Diaz. That was his knee-jerk response to the UNANIMOUS decision of the judges. His knee-jerk reaction to hearing that Condit agreed to a rematch will probably be, “Come on!! Let’s fight!!” …I think, he’ll accept the offer to fight again.

Second: When he realizes he’s got to do something he’s never done before, that is, come up with a different game plan, the depression is gonna kick in. He won’t show up for press conferences. He’ll get busted for smoking weed, who knows…?

If I’m wrong about that, then my prediction is Condit get’s to pick up where he left off. If that doesn’t work in the early rounds, he’s got his REAL fighting style to fall back on: The Natural Born Killer, the fight finisher…

Condit by unanimous decision …again.

Get it over with and accept it he lost whether we like it or not it just the rules of the game lets stop cry babying about it if Diaz wants GSP let him fight a top contender then he can fight the winner of Carlos n Georges!!!!!
We’re not gonna make immediate rematch each time a favorite loses!!! a la Penn vs Edgar
I mean the decision could have went anyways come on UFC your killing us here!!! I hope Nick says NO(which I doubt) but please lets MOVE ON!!! there’s so much intriguing match-ups out there lets not get stuck up here the rematch will come in due time

two of the biggest dickheads in the business battling over who will be the supreme a$$hole. I suspect Koschek would get schooled, but I am pretty sure he would come to fight.

I have no interest in seeing this fight happen this quick. I ordered the first one, but there’s no way I’ll order the second. I’d much rather see Condit defend against Hendricks and let Diaz fight Fitch. There’s way more anticipation to see Silva v Sonnen because we’ve had to wait for it. If Diaz can handle Fitch, give him the Condit/Hendricks v GSP winner. Condit outsmarted Diaz, the turning point came in the third, but if Team Jackson was smart they would have had Condit look for the finish in the 4th/5th. By playing it safe they opened themselves up to controversy and backlash. The great stick and move boxers all went for late finishes to ensure their victories, something Jackson should have been pushing Condit to do. If Gracie has any brains he’ll have Nick drag it to the ground and finish it. Otherwise we’ll get the exact same fight.

First let me say I like both fighters and I thought 100% that Condit won. I would be screaming robbery if he didn’t, but that is just my opinion, and I respect other peoples right to theirs. However I think Dana White HAD to do this. People forget that at the end of the day Dana’s job is to put on fights that people want to see, and just reading the internet forums in the last three days it’s pretty obvious that people want to see this fight. Sadly, Diaz has a huge fanbase compared to Condit, and the UFC hasnt gotten this far by not listening to the majority of their fans.

Per Cesar Gracie Diaz is out of the rematch. Diaz wants some time off and wish Condit the best against GPS.

It’s like going back to see a bad movie. The fight was boring and frustrating until the very end of the 5th round. Seeing Condit run away for another 25 minutes doesn’t excite me. If they stipulate using a smaller octagon or giving his Condit his balls back, then it would be a great fight.

This fight was an embarrassment to MMA. People dont pay to watch fighters run. We already have wrestlers wit their lay and pray now its strikers doing a run and kick. If the UFC doesnt do anything about this I wont be watching for long.

Im curious what happens if condit out strikes diaz alongside with significant strikes once again are the judges just going to rob condit because it wasn’t the most enjoyable. I think people should know difference from running like tito, and condit who moved off cage and went to center to out strike diaz.

This fight reminds me of the Nate quarry vs Kalib starnes.

Guys, even Joe Rogan said on You Tube that when he went back home and re-watched the fight, he thought that Diaz won the 1st, 2nd and 5th round. People can go on and on about who won, who lost etc etc. But the fact of the matter is that this issue won’t be settled until they fight again. And in the words of Joe Rogan: “If Diaz fights Condit again, he will f*******g spring at him”.

…that fight where the guy that lost was a sore loser, and his coach was a sore loser, and all his fans were sore losers.

GSP is out at least till next super bowl its the best thing to do.

WTF? this shit looks like a bloody 4chan board full of retards… shame.

I don’t like the idea of a rematch. Sure, it’ll be a great fight. But I don’t see any controversy in the original decision and I don’t think Diaz deserves a rematch. This stuff takes away from the sport side of it and makes it more WWE where you try to force these dream match-ups. What if Diaz wins a decision? Is it going to be the best of three? Doubt it. Or if Condit wins again, will it be best of five? People should accept that MMA is a sport. Not scripted entertainment.

Diaz was out scored! Just like Ali did to everyone. Condit landed more shots and more power shots! He just didnt follow Diaz’ fight plan. Isnt that what he is supposed to do? Diaz was just way to slow! Its what GSP/EDGAR/MAYWEATHER/ALI does to their opponents. They out fight them, not out brawl them. He showed how slow and one dimensional Diaz has become. Do not waste our time and money. Not all people want this rematch. Judges scored it correct. You don’t get points for not hitting someone or walking forward period. Condit won because he was better and smarter.

Biggest bunch of cry babies EVER! God forbid your freaking hoodrat messiah lost a decision. I hope Condit smashes him. As someone else said, I don’t see anyone crying when Aldo outpoints someone. What about Machida? My question is how many of you have or do train in MMA? Probably not many.
