My Thoughts About the Card

Condit was getting outstruck through 2 aswell, plus got those takedowns, yes he didn't do anything with them but did get em.

I dunno about that. The hardest shots that landed was from Condit.

Condit should have won the fight regardless of the stoppage. Rory didn't do dick on the ground after those takedowns. Literally didn't land a single strike after the first 3 of them. He just got held in guard and hit from the bottom. That doesn't mean shit in my book

This is what I said last night to everyone. I also said the fight should be a tie because the shitty judges would score the first two rounds for McDonald because of the TD's and Condit winning round 3 10-8 to save face. I am glad the fight got stopped. Condit deserves that win. Loved that inside shin kick of Condit's. Bruce Lee shit right there.

I dunno about that. The hardest shots that landed was from Condit.

He was winning the standup, it was happening, people I was watching with didn't even know why he was taking himdown and doing nothing considering the fact.

I said early in the thread based on damage inflicted late by Condit he deserved to win, but Rory also deserved 7 more seconds to get the decision.

Fight isn't made yet and might not be, but Sig bet on Hathaway/Condit, I got Hathaway

LOL at the UFC not getting a Picture of Rory actually connecting..

Closest







DAMN.. Rory almost won that fight!! Condit looks blasted.

I would.. but after Machida's loss I decided I was going to go back to my old ways and pick against my favorite fighters and hope that I lose..

I be weird like that.

Condit won that fight. If that fight we're to go on a tad bit longer he probably would have gotten the finish.

I got Condit over Hathaway.

Hathaway was able to outstrike Diego because of a pretty significant size and reach advantage...that's not an advantage vs. Condit...different matchup, i got to go with NBK.

Condit vs Nate Diaz would be fun

Yeah, i didnt really agree with Rogan that Rory was winning the fight. All he really did was get some takedowns. The best shots were landed by Condit throughout and it was clear who the better fighter was when Condit flipped the switch and totally clowned Rory in the 3rd round when he put down a Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock I style beatdown. I think people were swayed by the shitty takedowns(which people so often are) and the crowd being 100% behind Rory.

Most of those pics are from the 3rd

Wacted it with 5 people and everyone said Condit needs to finsih the fight to win it aswell, to jis credit he did, at the same time it could have went another 7 seconds, maybe Condit would have gotten a 10-8 who knows

But he was losing the fight through 2 and it wasn't just the takedowns

looks like we werent the only ones who thought it was 20-18 going into the 3rd

lol no they weren't mostly from the third round..

The first picture was 2:52 left in the first round
The two where condit was on his back was not from the third ...

The only ones that are from the third round would be the last 2 (or maybe the last 3, dunno when that knee hit)

..

Rory won the first rounds of a fight by meaningless takedowns, Carlos won a fight.

I even left out a bunch of others by condit that wasn't in the third round.. they are in order


http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?pn=4&fa=MultiMedia.GalleryImgList&gid=796

I think the last 3 are which would be "most"

Obviously the two with Rory on top weren't

But the point was really the fight scores, where they're seeing what I saw which was Rory winning the standup (at worst even though I thought he was winning it) with the takedowns through 2.

Like I said Condit did what he had to in the 3rd, but was on his way to a loss, it could have went 7 more seconds, but credit to Condit at the same time.

I think the third round is this one and after on that gallery
