Diaz getting next title shot

...over Condit

That aint right

Condit agreed to step aside

GSP said Diaz is the most disrespectful person he's seen and he's going to put a beating on him

I feel horrible for Condit...that's not right at all.

Condit could've fought tonight and got a pay day after that training camp

Dana better give Condit shit load of money under the table.

Dana White hinted at the start of the UFC 137 post-fight press conference that he had a big announcement that he was waiting to make once Nick Diaz was able to take his seat on the podium. It was possibly the best fight of Nick's career, working B.J. Penn over with punches to the head and body. Penn ultimately retired.

Dana has made GSP vs Nick Diaz official. It is rumored that St. Pierre begged the UFC President for the fight following Nick's antics after the fight. In the post fight speech Diaz had some choice words for the UFC welterweight champion. The fight is official for the Superbowl Weekend card.

Bloody Elbow will have more in the coming days on what this fight means for the UFC and the welterweight division.

Cesar Gracie grabs the mic. Dana and Cesar is now going back and forth with him. Epic stuff. Boxing, compensation, business models, etc

Diaz: Bj's good, if he throws an arm punch it hurts. If he worked out with me, he would have gotten in shape. He should fight at 155

From Malki Kawa @CarlosCondit didn't just step aside. Gsp is choosing to fight nick

If you haven't heard Carlos has agreed to step aside to let GSP fight Diaz! GSP flipped out after what Diaz said and wants him next.

Sorry @DamonMartin can't wait until tomorrow. @CarlosCondit didn't just step aside. Gsp is choosing to fight nick.

malkikawa malki kawa

last I checked "carlos is the harder fight." So I guess now he'll fight nick. Wasn't our choice and def not happy about it, BUT

It is what it is, and we'll figure some things out. In the mean time, I'm sure @danawhite Is going to make it worth his while

It's right.

The shot was originally Nick's in the first place, plus 11 fight win streak with a KO win over Daley and messed up BJ's face...Condit should not get the shot just because we like him more. Kim and Hardy(middle of the pack guys) a COMEBACK win over a prospect in Macdonald and a somewhat controversial(though i feel Condit won) split against Ellenberger over 2 years ago should not have got him a shot over Jon Fitch, and looking at it now..not a shot over Nick Diaz.

Condit can wait around if he wants, but by that time Fitch might have put another W on his record so maybe that Koscheck fight isnt looking so bad after all.

I'm a big Condit guy and think he should be undefeated in the UFC as he got robbed vs. Kampmann...but he does not deserve reservations on #1 contender. He still is without that big W. Just because they put Dan Hardy in a main event does not mean he belonged there. He needed to beat a BJ Penn, or a Josh Koscheck or even Thiago Alves.

Condit got the shaft because they said the fight was his. I don't care though. I want to see Nick vs GSP. Fitch and Kos would've glued themselves to Diaz and beat him in a boring ass fight. GSP will fight Diaz imo. He will go for TD's when needed, but this is a great fight.

Wow! This will be the first time in a long time I really rooted for GSP...

According to Diaz, he's just misunderstood:

"Well, you know, it's been embarrassing. You don't always come off
the way you want to or look the way you want to. You go out there and
act up and, you know, just become the evil villain and, you know,
calling guys out and stuff, but -- it seemed to have worked. I'm getting
the fights I want. So, yeah. I can't complain at this point."

After remaining somewhat silent for a large portion of the program,
Diaz seemed to light up when the topic of St. Pierre came up. If Diaz is
an evil villain, St. Pierre is his nemesis.

But, Diaz isn't buying "Rush" as the "hero" he is made out to be:

"I was here first. You know, I've been a UFC fighter for longer
than St. Pierre has. Not a lot of people realize that. I've been
fighting in the UFC before all them. I was here first. I have more
fights and I've fought the bigger names. I don't have nothin' against
Georges personally but for him not to want the harder fight and for him
to think that Carlos Condit's a harder fight -- it may be the case, but not on paper. He's gotta recognize that."

Diaz spent a few minutes talking about his strategy for his upcoming
championship bout and how he thinks it'll go down. He believes his
jiu-jitsu and well-roundedness will be weapons that could give him the
edge.

"Me and (Jake) Shields have got a lot of similarities. It's good to see what's what. I just fought a guy (B.J. Penn)
that he's fought before, so I'm sure that's good for him to see what's
what. It's all about how you come out and fight. It can always go
different, you know? I could go on the bottom a lot, but are you gonna
be able to advance position? Are you gonna be able to do damage from
there? Are you gonna stall? Are you gonna fight? There's a lot of
different stuff that can happen. It's up to me to kinda make some stuff
happen. Five rounds is a lot of time for me to work with in this one. I
enjoy fighting five rounds. I work hard to be in good condition to fight
for five rounds. It's important to plan for everything. That's what I'm
good at. He's fighting somebody who's gonna do everything."

Amusingly, Diaz admitted that he's been picking a fight and, if he loses in a one-sided fashion, he may deserve it:

"I'm the one that's in this division that's mouthin' off and
talkin' the most, so if anybody's in for a good whoopin', I'm probably
that guy, you know? And who better to do it than the UFC champion? I'm
ready to get this show on the road. I'm not gettin' any younger. I'm
ready to fight."

dude the closer this fight gets the more confidant i am in picking Diaz to win it... idk whats happening to me!
