No point in arguing when you pretty much all aggree, I must be overestimating Nick/underestimating Condit.
I don't really like Vitor as much as u guys tbh. I mean -250 is pretty low return, and we didn't really see much of his form vs. rumble, he was gasping for breath after that one round for like 10min - and after seeing vintage Wandy knee Cung Le, I think he can still KO anyone.
I really like Ellenberger tho - also at -250.
The fight is just too risky, that's all, in the BJ Penn fight we all knew Penn's cardio was a big issue and would let him down, but in this fight, Diaz won't have that big of a advantage.
Yes, like I said, Wands biggest chance is to stay alive for the first round and try to outpoint Vitor in 2nd and third, or possibly 4th and 5th if it's a main event. The thing is, when wand does his rush, he opens himself up so much(Their last fight, his fight with Leben etc). He's gotten better though and is why he paced himself against Cung Lee and I can definitiely see a way for him to outpoint belfort or possibly late round TKO him when Vitors condition starts getting worse. However, the fact still remains, he's getting tagged in the first round and when you get tagged by Vitor, you're not making it out alive.
