BJ Penn Vs Nick Diaz - UFC 137

[sbjj]

Never noticed before. But that was a sweet fence grab by Condit. Why even have that rule. there are at least a dozen fence grabs per event.

penn -150? god I hope so, I will be all over condit.

[poopoo333]

Oh man I hope he opens at -150. Maybe he will open at +115 again like he did against Hughes.

[flyinggogoplata]

How exactly is bj going to win? Maybe a decision I guess?

[Vandelay]

whos got the better chance at a finish? decision prop might be the best.

[SPX]

BJ definitely has the best chance to finish. Despite his last two wins, I really don't view Condit as a big finisher, especially not at this level of competition.

[flyinggogoplata]

Condit just finished a guy who has never lost or been finished. Is this bizarreo day?

[flyinggogoplata]

Oh I get it, IWS still drinking the bj penn kool-aid carry on. But it's pretty clear the ufc is setting up Condit vs GSP

Penn has only been finished twice in his entire career, by GSP and Hughes and the former wasn't even a true stoppage. He is NOTORIOUSLY difficult to put away.

Look, if Condit stops BJ then I'll bite my own dick off and send it to you in the mail. How is that?

[poopoo333]

Condit has finished every fight but one iirc

[SPX]

Not in the UFC. He lost a split to Kampmann and won a split against Ellenberger.

out of like 25 wins or so he has 24 by ko,tko or sub. He is a serious finisher. One of the best finishers at 170 probably. BJ is really tough though and he is def a better bjj player than Condit so he isn't getting subbed. Condits only way to win this inside the distance is by tko/ko and BJ isn't easy to hit on the feet. Most people can't stand with him. Look what happened to Diego, he landed like 10 strikes in 5 rounds. It was almost sad to watch. I do think it is possible Condit can drop him though..he goes all out. Though now that i think about it, he can't afford to be as crazy in this fight because he doesn't want to get taken down by BJ. Normally he doesn't care if he is taken down as much because he can just reverse/go for subs. That game won't work with BJ.

[edman5555]

oh btw, it seems like most of condits tko/kos are from landing punches. BJ's striking is mostly boxing and is very good.

[flyinggogoplata]

what if condit takes penn down? = mindblown

[SPX]

BJ would get back up in like .3 seconds.
