So the question is can he out wrestle rashad and can he take a shot?
If the fight stays standing i have no doubt rashad will land one of those bombs that will test his chin. Davis on the other hand does not seem like the one to worry rashad standing up.
It would be fun if rashad gets rocked though
he's like a drunk shaolin monk once his jaw is rattled.

It was a well tactically plan bout by Greg Jackson. Diaz was expecting Condit to fight the kind of fight he is known for. But Jackson is a very smart man, realizing that his fighter had no chance exchanging toe to toe blows with Diaz, he developed a plan that was well executed by Condit.
In my opinion it was a pussy as plan, because he was literally running away the whole match. But a fighter and his team need to develop a plan in order to get their hand raise at the end, and that's what Condit accomplished. But I tell you this, if this was Pride, Condit wouldn't of won.
And K.O I beg to differ that GSP would make Diaz his bitch. The only way he would get a victory over Diaz is if he pulls a "run away tactic" like Condit.

Agreed, it was such a pussy plan and the scoring system shouldn't be encouraging fighters to follow these plans. I really had so much respect for Condit before this fight.
As for GSP pulling pussy tactics, I don't think he needs one. Even though GSP's last fights were a bit boring, he was always the one attacking, his opponents are the ones running away. If he was to fight Diaz, believe me, he'll handle Diaz easily taking him down with some ground and pound every round. BJJ? Diaz is a level above but GSP is still a black belt with a lot of experience, I can't see Diaz submitting GSP.
The question remains, will GSP return as strong as he was before the injury? He'll only need to be 60% ready to defeat Condit IMO.

I agree that the scoring system is fucked up but jeez,that does not apply to the diaz-condit fight in any way. Condit beat diaz fair and square. There was no doubt for a UD for condit after the fight...i was not even worried that it would end up a split decision or a draw. Condit won each and every round (the second being close and the last being confusing since diaz managed to drag him to the ground in the final minute and just 'tried' submissions ]
I scored it 48-47 with Diaz winning 1st, 2nd and 5th rounds. I'm not saying Diaz was a clear winner without any doubt but two judges scoring the fight 49-46 Condit! Really?
This is the problem, you have judges scoring it differently each depending on what he thinks is more effective. This is not one dimensional boxing, some judges are standup admirers others like BJJ and wrestling etc.. There have to be a clear system on which judges cannot pull these controversial decisions more often, and I'm not talking about the Condit-Diaz fight only.
Anyways, UFC 143 was slightly better than the Fox one but still disappointing. UFC 144 in Japan should be spectacular.
I predict:
Henderson beating Edgar by UD. (Won't be surprised with Edgar proving me wrong once again)
Rampage beating Bader by KO.
Shields beating Akiyama by UD.

UFC in Japan the other night was a good show. Frankie should move down a weight now him an Jose Aldo fighting would be great. Jackson was again frustrating to watch he is just lacking in so many departments that he can no longer compete with the top modern MMA athletes would love to see him knocking people out again but that is only going to happen if he drops way down the pecking order and starts fighting weaker opponent and I don't think that appeals to him so don't know where he will go from this.
