only one thing could have gotten me back on barf for a minute, and it was a diaz beatdown
glad to see GSP finish what condit started, the total exposure of diaz and his utter lack of diversity or gameplanning.
best boxing in MMA? please? GSP exposed charade that even worse than condit. gsp slipped the jab at will, straight through his hands. negated any combos whatsoever, and regulated diaz to winging hooks and the occasional body punch (that couples with his small size and lack of power, meant nothing). his boxing simple is not nearly as good as sold, and would get detsrpyed by any real boxer in an actual boxing match. (his footwork is terrible, and leaves open the ability to roll to his side)
AND
went on to expose his BJJ, or lack thereof. it WAS good, but very much in the BJ Pen, mode, diaz has become so obsessed with fighting stand up and "fighting" that his skills degraded to a few painful to watch chimura attempts that never even had GSP worried. his guard was painfully overstated (as I have always thought) guy has zero wrestling, zero gameplanning, and is so predictable, I swear at times I think I could beat diaz
diaz has been a charade, always had been, always will be. his post fight conmference BS should show his brother nate exactly what NOT to do, or be. nate actually has a fiture in the UFC, and seems to have a way better head on his shoulders. If he could get out of that terrible ceasar gracie gym, get some REAL managment, and work his wretsling, nate diaz could make another run at the title
for what its worth, I think condit won the fight. hendricks did score hella takedowns, but man was it me or did condit seem to do more damage, land more strikes from his back, and more submission atempts, than johnny did on top? that was a war though, great fight. condit needs to work his TD defernse (as do a lot of people) wrestling owns MMA right now. and for good reason. I do think hendricks poses a threat to GSP that no one else has in awhile (tho I think GSP still wins).
