Had Bisping put on that performance and came that close to winning against any other top contender he would've garnered a lot of praise IMO, but as it was against everyone's favourite Chael Sonnen wasn't the case. Same with Condit, had he put on that performance against a contender like Fitch or someone with a lesser fan base to Diaz, people would be raving about him and rightfully so.
Not sure I agree. Bisping put in probably his best performance, but was still a fair bit short of beating a genuine contender (and one that I dislike, by the way), Bisping has received a lot more respect on these pages following his loss, I don't know what more praise you expect for someone, that has failed in his biggest tests?
With regards to Condit and Diaz, I don't think that there are many, who feel that Diaz was completely robbed, just a few that believe the decision was close, and maybe should have gone the other way. I cannot stand Diaz as a 'personality', however, he holds the best chance (IMO) of beating GSP, and regardless of this loss, his record bears close scrutiny. For me, as I've said previously, I much prefer fighters that actively look for a win, rather than try and avoid defeat.

I don't see why a rematch would be any different. Diaz doesn't have the versatility to change his game. The only thing he could have done was back off and make Condit come after him, but even when they were in the middle of the cage Condit won the exchanges.
Won the exchanges? Nonsense. Diaz was the only one landing meaningful shots.

No you couldn't. You found a handle of fighterss, including a couple of Jackson fighters, and some of the worst journalists in MMA. p4p only listed a fraction of the fighters that tweeted that they thought Diaz won.

Condit out landed Diaz with power shots to the head and legs,so this,he won by running and little leg kicks is a load of crap.
Condit landed 25% more power shots to the head in that fight than Diaz,aswell as landing 60 odd more leg shots than Diaz,and the clean shots Condit landed were to a planted fighter moving forward,were as diaz's were not as clean,as condit was either backing off or circling out.
Plus Condit is known for having one punch knock out,where as Diaz isn't,he relys on landing his big combos and breaking people down to get the stoppage,something Condit smartly never let him do.
Simply IMO,Diaz was out worked and out smarted and the only round Diaz won was round 2 for me.
He did not outland him in power shots. He outlanded him in significant strikes. Significant strikes are anything that aren't jabs. Doesn't matter how much power they have in them.

Fair enough,but I bet you can't find 4 shots that Diaz landed on Condit that were better than these.

I really wish I was more clued up about how to find and post gifs because none of those shots bothered Nick. There was shots that Condit looked far more hurt by... Maby a fellow Diaz fan knows how to find and post Gifs but they werent great shots at all by Condit. None of them stopped Diaz coming forward and the head kicks landed with the foot ie glancing blows

I can understand, how some think that Condit edged a close fight, not that I agree, but the one thing that was clear, was that, round by round, it was close. To state that Condit outstruck Diaz is one thing, but if these gifs are the best that you can come up with Payne, I'm not sure that it's helping your cause mate. Three of the four gifs shown, looked more of an irritation than anything substantial, the third gif, did momentarily, stop Diaz, but again, if these are the best that can be shown.........Sorry Ben, I wish I did know more about posting gifs.

all I'm saying is i don't think anyone will be able to find gifs or videos showing diaz landing more,better,cleaner shots on condit,because it just didn't happen IMO.
Yet people are trying to make out that even though Condit landed more shots,Diaz landed the more meaningful ones and because he was moving forward,that was enough for him to win the fight.
He didn't and that shouldn't.
Octagon control is a messed up scoring criteria,we've all mentioned that in the past,so maybe it could be argued in Diaz's favour,but I personally think he lost on that as well,but like I say,this is depending on peoples understanding of that flimsy scoring criteria.
Surely a stronger case can be made,that Condit was the one who should take Octagon controll as he was the one dictating where and when the exchanges happened,he used the Octagon to his advantage,by using the space inside it,where as diaz just moved forward and had absolutely no control on the fight,he couldn't trap or cut off any angles to stop Condit moving in and out of the spaces he wanted.

Not certain that you could argue Condit controlling where the fight took place mate, Diaz was pushing the pace throughout the fight, and had Condit on the back foot throughout. I know that, with regards to cleaner striking, it's pretty much a judgement call, I appreciate that you saw it different to myself, IMO, had this fight been allowed to go to the finish, as in an unlimited amount of rounds, until either a TKO/KO/Ref Stoppage/Sub, then my money would have been on Diaz all day, I appreciate that it wasn't, and that Condit made (in the eyes of the judges) successful use of the current scoring system, but I know where my money's going, with regards to a rematch. Out of curiosity, do you see a rematch going the same way? Would be interested to see who would back who.

There's no arguing that Condit landed more strikes than he took is there.
The reason that happened was because condit used and controlled the available space in the Octagon to do that.
Just walking forward in a straight line,and not being able to cut off your opponent,while taking more shots than you are landing,for me is not controlling the Octagon.
Just like I thought the Sanchez decision against kampman was a bullshit decision,just because you are moving forward should mean absolutely sweet FA if your not doing anything with it.
I was backing Diaz this time around and I still think diaz is the better fighter.
But Condit to my surprise,was the smarter fighter and stuck to a winning plan and IMO,thoroughly deserved to win that fight on that performance.
In a rematch after watching that,I think it would be up to Diaz to make drastic changes,otherwise i could see it going exactly the same way.
I think Diaz has the skills to do it,I'm just not so sure that in a fight he has the smarts.

Here to show no bias,here's shit loads of Gifs from all 5 rounds of the fight.
And these are mainly all the signifcant shots and not all of Carlos's leg kicks.

i agree with payne 100% re the more meaningful strikes
diaz wasnt that bothered by them though and that shows how tough he is

Well it wasn't me who found that list of fighters so I don't know why you aimed that at me.
Apparently there is now some doubt now that the rematch will go ahead, only 12 hours after it was announced it was happening, the drama continues.

Condit should defend his title before GSP returns anyway, regardless of wether it's against Diaz or not.

Apparently the reason the fight isn't happening at the moment is that Diaz wants better terms, now this is just rumours but if it is true than this guy is unbelievable. He's on one of the highest base contracts in the UFC with him getting $200,000 just for showing up to fight, he gets offered a rematch with Carlos Condit which many people may argue wasn't deserved, and now he is apparently demanding better terms!

The one thing I will agree with you on, is that Diaz is an utter bell-end.
