Condit crushes Nick Diaz at UFC 143

Diaz's face and number of punches landed clearly states: Condit won. Yet this is all we see on twitter right now by other fighters:

"Joe Lauzon
I eagerly await fight metrics for this fight... I thought Diaz won that all night long."

"Mark Muñoz
Here's the decision! Wow! Crazy decision! Condit wins via unanimous decision! Congrats Condit! #ufc143"

"Pat Miletich
That decision was an absolute joke. At best, Condit won 2 rounds."

So people complain Condit walked backwards the whole time. So what? He walked backwards and destroyed Diaz's face. Know who walks backwards and wins fights and no one complains like this? Lyoto Machida. If you want to see a boring fight watch any Machida fight from 2010 and back. Don't forget a nice fluffy pillow because you will fall asleep from boredom because Machida throws two punches and runs for 10 seconds. I saw Condit throw kick after kick followed by punches the whole time. This is the first time Diaz has been out struck in an octagon yet people complain.

Condit won. Get over it.

ON TO (another boring fighter) GSP!

Hand Injury Knocks Patricio Pitbull Out of July 23 Title Fight Against Joe Warren

Patricio "Pitbull" Freire, the flashy featherweight who qualified to face Joe Warren in a Bellator championship rematch, has suffered an injury that has forced him to withdraw from a scheduled July 23 match with Warren.

Freire confirmed the news on Tuesday through Twitter, saying that he has fractures of his left thumb as well as ligament injuries that pushed him to the sidelines.

That injury news was originally reported by MMA Junkie, who spoke with Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney on Tuesday.

Freire said that on Saturday, he was told it will take four months to be able to fight again, and is hoping to get his shot at the gold in November.

The 23-year-old Freire holds an impressive record of 17-1 since turning pro in 2004 at the age of 16. The Brazilian's only career loss came to Warren in June 2010 in a controversial split-decision victory that made Warren the promotion's first-ever featherweight champion.

Freire returned for season four's tournament and stormed through Georgi Karakhanyan and Wilson Reis with knockouts before defeating Daniel Straus via decision in the finals.

Instead of waiting around for Freire to return, Warren is off to other pursuits. Even prior to this, Warren asked to participate in Bellator's upcoming bantamweight tournament with hopes of becoming the promotion's first two-division champion. He was granted a spot in the tourney and is scheduled to face former Olympic freestyle wrestling bronze medalist Alexis Villa on September 24 in a first-round bout.
