Condit/Diaz II

[CSL]

If you look at the FightMetric stats (http://blog.fightmetric.com/2012/02/...tatistics.html) Condit landed more strikes than Diaz did that round and did a tremendous job not just in that round but throughout the entire fight of avoiding being trapped against the cage. But again I see how people think it could have gone to Diaz, I just don't agree. Round 2 is one that I'll give to Diaz no problem. Round 5 though I refuse to give to Diaz. He was losing that round handily before he got the take down and I don't agree that the take down was enough to give him the round as Condit was able to easily defend against Nick's attempt at a choke and then escaped when Diaz went for what looked like a hail mary armbar attempt. Sorry, but that one take down that he wasn't actually able to do anything with does not win him the round.

1. notice the use of words like "don't at all see" and "potentially", I'm not claiming a decisive win one way or the other but for you to claim that you "can't see how anybody" thinks it could have gone another way is pretty ridiculous.

2. who landed a few more punches statistically isn't the only way to score a round as you appear to have done for Round 1. I personally didn't see much difference between how rounds 1 and 2 went. The only round I see as really being debatable is 5, which I thought could have gone either way and was surprised when Joe Rogan said he thought it was Diaz's round. And all the credit in the world for the most part to Condit avoiding getting trapped but when more than once you full on turn your back against the opponent and Kalib Starnes-it across the octagon, that's pretty questionable

basically a re-match is the right/more than fair call. August seems like a pretty long time tho, surely it could have been hooked up before then
