Man that Diaz fight is stuck in your guys head. Condit was winning all those exchanges and neutralized Diaz. Only reason he fought like that was cause he wasn't trying to fukk up a chance at having the interim title.
You guys also forget he rocked GSP in their match and was beating Hendricks until he was getting spammed with takedowns. On top of all that he was the WEC champ and has a ton of finishes on his record.
Naw he fought like that because he could against Diaz and it was the right strategy. Standing in the pocket with nick is suicide. I doubt he will have much success being elusive like that against Robbie. Robbie can cut off the cage better.
My picks tonight.
Poirer TKO RD2. Duffy has better boxing and may be a better grappler. He has wins over Connor and Norman Parke but that was 5 years ago. This is his biggest fight in his career. I think Poiorer cracks him
Dober UD
Kish UD
Noke UD
McDonald TKO RD1
Trujillo KO RD 1
Brandao TKO RD 2
Tumenov TKO RD 2- Tumenov is a beast. I like Larkin but he still has holes in his game a technical, fundemental fighter like Tumenov will exploit
Mitoic UD. I like AA comeback story but I think it ends here. Stipe is too quick and his boxing is more technical then Pitbull, whos still pretty much a one arm fighter.
Lawler UD- Lawler is on a roll. Condit has an excellent shot to win tho. We know he can turn up in later rounds once he feels comfortable and will start unleashing kicks, knees and all types of wild shyt. Lawler was hurt pretty badly against Rory because he decided to strike from range with him. If he does that then Condit has an excellent chance to score a surprise TKO. But I think Lawler keeps it simple and gets inside. Condit is still very hittable. Plus, Condit last big wins are over Kampmann(never elite and currently semi retired) and Alves(who should be retired) Lawler has beat Brown, Hendricks, and McDonald twice. I think Lawler uses inside boxing and maybe mixes it up with TD(Condit still has shytty TDD that even a non wrestler can exploit) for the UD
