Diaz/Condit is gonna be off the chain. Been a big Condit fan since the WEC days, would be very nice to see him take the big piece of gold at WW. Certainly gonna be a great fight. Condit really needs to work on his TDD, he can't go on his back against someone as good as Diaz.

I'm gonna say that Werdum will take the victory of Nelson. Roy hasn't looked good in a while though I'd love to see him win.

Also, hoping to see Koscheck make some sort of an impact and state his claim for a WW title shot though he doesn't deserve it. Josh Koscheck = PPV buys.

Does nobody have an opinion on this or am I talking to myself?

Condit looks great, he seems to be as hungry as he's ever been.

Who do you guys think will take it?

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

Diaz and Condit will not disappoint at all, I am especially stoked to see these two fight it out. Being a UFC fan from way back, I really would like to see Diaz take it. Mostly, I am looking at who has the ability to beat GSP the best out of the two, and I feel that both of them can push GSP to his limits, especially with Diaz's ability to finish fights vs. GSP's inability to finish fights. Either way, I want the winner to go on and beat the shit outta St. Pierre so he can finally be dethroned.

I don't see how Fabricio can lose to Nelson, considering he was the won to beat the almighty Fedor so swiftly. I don't think Nelson can handle his skills.

A good fight is almost guaranteed. I would think Diaz is more suitable to beat GSP, but Condit could still do it! WAR CONDIT!

Nelson said that his grappling is better than Werdum MMA wise. I hope he's trying to bait Werdum or else this fight is gonna be over quickly. I'd like to see Nelson win, he's the lovable fat guy.

By the way, I will have results up tomorrow morning. Go to www.mmafighting.com for up to date results.
