I like it better than the alternatives. Martinez/Pac would be preferable, but it's just not happening.
Cotto > Canelo, Ortiz, Khan, Guerrero (lol) and whoever else was considered.

Hopefully Manny doesn't **** up and pick Marquez or Peterson. I want him to fight Bradley.

Have to go with Diaz here. I like Condit a lot more than Diaz though.

this matchup is eerily similar to the diaz-cerrone fight, but with just flat out better fighters.

got nelson over werdum . better standup ? pretty even fight ,

werdum can prob take nelson down , but i think itll stay standing for the most part , werdum has shown flashes of having good standup , but then in other fights just stinks it up . so idk .

UFC on Fox looks like another lame card. But I guess you never now until they fight. Jackson V. Bader would have been perfect for the Fox card.

UFC 144 looks like all great fights.

really? in what world do you think that edgar/henderson will not be highly entertaining?

entire card looks pretty good to me

gotta throw the rising sun a freakshow fight w/ kongo vs hunt.

pettis lauzon, yuppppp. If bader chooses to trade with jackson we should see him get his block knocked off too.

As one of the few who picked Nate in that match up I really disagree with this widely assumed statement.

Condit actually moves his head unlike Cerrone, so he won't be a punching bag. Condit actually has power unlike Cerrone ( 1 tko finish in his entire career against a can ) Condit implements his wrestling a ton better than Cerrone. Condit has also shown he isn't a front runner and never gives up. He got absolutely crushed by ellenburger in the first round and came back to beat him. Same ellenburger who finished shields, who had never been finished and survived the H-bomb.

Not saying Condit will win, but the Cerrone-Nate result has no bearing on this fight.

Interim Welterweight Championship bout: Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit
This is really a fight where I have no idea what will happen. I think Condit is a better striker & wrestler than Nick and am confident he'll win the first couple rounds. My biggest concern is how Carlos cardio will do against Nicks. Going with Condit because he's my favorite WW, and awesome as ****. "I want the ref to pull me off you to save your life" is probably the most awesome MMA quote ever.

Heavyweight bout: Roy Nelson vs. Fabricio Werdum

Again its really too close to call, but I'll go with Werdum.

Welterweight bout: Josh Koscheck vs. Mike Pierce

Kos via being better everywhere, but he might get caught by a Pierce left hook.

Bantamweight bout: Renan Barão vs. Scott Jorgensen

Only seen one Barao fight, and it was him crushing Pickett. He looked absolutely amazing, and I hope he wins because Cruz badly needs another challenger.
