so let me guess...you like Condit but want to see Diaz win so he can fight GSP. This is an important fight and so hyped that some other solid fights have been forgotten. Look to the Renan Barao vs Jorgensen fight for some fireworks. A classic jiu jitsu match with Nelson vs Werdum. Pee Herman is back and of course Koschek is going to fight someone who thinks he is prick.

So as usual see you this Sunday Morning at the Big Bamboo!

This is going to be fun. Condit-Diaz is a tough fight. I did make a mistake in the write up. It's Ed Herman not Dave "Pee Wee" Herman fighting Clifford Starks.

excuse my noobness. What is the meaning of the number behind UFC? I've seen 141 before, and now 143, what is the difference and what other numbers are out there?

^

It is the the 143rd UFC fight in the Series

ahhhhhhhh, ok.

so a number resembles 1 fight between 2 guys, or a whole event?

The number is the event number. so each UFC has 5 preliminary fights and then 5 Main Card Fights but they are all part of the same event.

UFC has other events like UFC on Fox, UFC on FX etc...... in the past there was also UFC FIght Night. These are events that are on TV and are not part of the PPV series and so don't have a number behind it.

Ok i see, thanks all! I watched the warrior and that made me kind of interested in mma/ufc. just dont know all the ins and outs yet!

Gotta like Diaz's boxing these days. No fool on the ground either, good takedown defense.

A few people have said this to me lately. I guess the movie has been good for the sport.

So what did you guys think of the judges' decision on the Diaz vs Condit fight?

I think they should've given Diaz the win because of him pressing the fight and getting that takedown in the 5th. I don't think Carlos hit and run style should be awarded at all. Anyway, Diaz got caught with marijuana in his blood before the fight so he'll probably get suspended, which sucks.
