Greg Jackson: We didn't want to get into a face-punching contest with Nick Diaz
Posted on February 6, 2012, 06:16 PM by Anton GurevichGreg Jackson shared his point of view on Carlos Condit's performance against Nick Diaz, claiming that the gameplan was not to get into a face-punching contest with the former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion. Jackson stated that "hitting while not getting hit" was the key to victory for Carlos Condit, who will now face another Jackson's MMA representative, Georges "Rush" St. Pierre, for the Undisputed UFC Welterweight title

Hi without being hit. That just about sums it all up right there.
Yep and with those 2 champs battling not one guy will get touched. hehe
He was hit by more of "everything" except for leg kicks...
It seem more like run for dear life and trow a few weak leg kicks to me they are giving away interine belts to runners IMHO.
When GSP and Condit fight, it'll be a 50-50 draw unanimous draw.
Agreed. If I slap someone, it doesn't mean I punched them. If condit's kicks actually did damage, like jose aldo's did when he fought urijah, then he would've undoubtedly deserved the win.
Yah I agree, or to a lesser extent Shoguns vs Lyoto. Although a judge cannot base his score on that because it's hard to see the immediate damage from a leg kick.
Condit made a mistake by letting himself coach by Greg Jackson
the man is no genius as they claim , he has great fighters
but they don't win because of him
otherwise Jardine,Arlovski , Garcia and Guillard would be Top Contenders
Condit has the tools to defeat Diaz with having to use the so call
"gameplans" of Greg Jackson
If the rematch happens im hoping to see the Natural Born Killer
in his old mind set going for the kill
You suck!
I can see those high projectile weaks flying my way , but I got to say - I never liked Diaz but I gained loads respect to him after this fight. The way that fight looked to me I could swear Condit would have run away from there if there was no fences. Man you fight like this where I'm from and a spectator is gonna glass you in the back.
thats the problem with you ****tards. this is mma not some street fight between bums. its a sport if you don't like it don't ****ing watch it
Any place where spectators glass any fghter in the back is shithole with populated by retards, crackheads and mouthbreathers..
And where do you live, pricktown?
mouthbreathers??? That's an insult these days?
Your doctor said you have an orange wiener because you eat Cheetos and watch porn, said dont worry it will wear off.
if i had known condit would run like a lil bitch the whole fight i wouldn't have watch it. payed $55 to watch a fight not a guy running from a fight. not sure if anyone watched inside mma tonight but bas rutten should be taken off the air for comparing what condit did to muhammed ali. ali was graceful and was never running from his opponent he slipped punches countered then moved. condit got backed up took punches he did return some punches but then ran and back pedaled
See that's my point here - sorry about the retarded grammar yesterday - I was drunk and this chick was talking to my ear all the time. I've paid hard earned bucks for this PPV and what do I get? A punch and run. There is a difference between changing angles, circling and surrounding your opponent and turning your back and running away.I am not willing to pay that much for this kind of shit. And comparing Condit tactics to Silva is a freaking joke. One more tittle fight like this and I'm downloading my UFC from Pirate Bay. Simple as that.
you hear that dana?! you have been warned...
Saddly with the sport fgrowing, everyday there are more and more uneducated fans, that think that mma is some animal cage sport shit, it's a sport with rules, judges, gameplans and different type of fighters...go watch backyard brawls with knifes in the backs, and get the f...out of here.
and sadly more and more girly men are watching and think they can fight if they had the right game plan
@ Michael - spot on kid.... @ Bilhal - go back to your cave
you dont watch, i love mma and think the rules need to be tweeked, hell the nfl is like super old and they still change rules, you think shits perfect when th rules allow a fighter to lift his knees and run away.
exactly this is mma we have rules like no eye gouging no hair pulling no hitting the back of the head, but dont be fooled it is still very much a fight

Thank you, but I am a little too old for a kid.
@ Micheal - say what you want, in wrestling if you avoid fighting you get penalised, in boxing when you keep turning your back deliberately you get warned. Just saying - I don't want to see fighters literally run away from the fight. If the fight gonna look like this people want watch it and then it will be you and your buddies sitting in the caves watching "true" mma. I've never seen Randy, Wand, Crocop, Alister, GSP, Junior, Jose doing this. But hey Condit is a natural born killer - he knows what he's doing right :D ? Makes me laugh. To hell that fight made boring Fitch fights look more interesting and I thought they were the absolute apex of - more tactics less fighting.
all condit did was get the fight back to the center of the cage. he didn't turn around and run away on his way back to the cage hit kept ladning shots on diaz's face. the only people who say he ran away are butt hurt diaz fans who wanted to see diaz vs gsp. sorry diaz just wasnt good enough
if he wanted it in the center he never should have walked there, nobody forced him there, simple fact, he was stalling
*never should have walked to the cage
Carlos Condit is coming to finish you, I'm trying to put your lights out."
Carlos 'The Natural Born Killer' Condit
It's Going Be A Dog Fight...
What a ****ing joke. Nick Diaz even biatch slap Carlos in the second round.. 3:27 mark......
greg jacksons a joke skrew this guy
What a bunch of whining from Diaz fans. And from the "just bleed" crowd.
Diaz lurched forward like Frankenstein punching in straight lines, trying to corner Condit to unleash combos--and Condit hit and moved laterally.
I suppose if he was a total retard, he could have stood with his back to the cage and hoped he knocked Diaz out before Diaz knocked him out--but that would certainly take the 'Art' out of MMA and turned it into Unmixed Martial Brawl--or UMB, as I like to call it.
Occasional brawls are entertaining, but brains very often beats brawn in MMA, and that is why I like this sport.
So Diaz, who earlier said he would 'lose like a man', instead, whined publicly about the decision, then said he would take his ball and go home and not play anymore. The bad man did not stand still in front of him so he could punch him--that's just not fair!
' )
Amen to that.
haha love it
That's right, I mean as a fan, it's very entertaining for me watching like a "Rocky" Type of fight. But if you have a goal of getting the belt, would you care for the fans only? I mean it's very stupid to go for a back and forth punching fest with Diaz with a history of Iron Chin, high endurance and his punches come from different angles. If you know you can't win on Diazs' fight, why would you still fight his fight? If it's just to please the fans, what would be the purpose of coaches? It's like jumping into a pool of sharks and you know they will eat you, but still you jump on that pool. It's that simple.
With that being said, his offense was still very ineffective, as was Diazs'.

This is "fighting" and despite the "MA" in "MMA", this is not a point scoring bout.
im not just bleed but way to try and discredit what people are saying, if he didnt want to fight stand up which he clearly didnt he should have took it to the ground and if he didnt want to d that he shuold have fought
So what you saying here is: Condit is lesser man then Diaz, but he outsmarted him by running away, therefore he won, but if they met in a small room or corridor Diaz would beat the shit out of him? :D
Never took Diaz for a crybaby.......he will be wearing and fake interim belt next.
**** you greg jackson, you are bad for mma
Its to dam funny,you have just as many people making uxcuses for condit running away as thier is saying diaz won..if it turned out the other way around it be same thing.. both diaz n condit nut huggers.
It's so funny to me when people talk about Condits Tactics while Diaz had at lease 4 rounds to change his game plan. Honestly if Condit went toe to toe with Diaz, Diaz would be the interim champion right now. If you watch that fight again Diaz just stubbornly stuck to his fight plan it seems like he had no plan "B". Seriously what did Diaz do to adjust in that fight? Clearly he was able to take Condit down on the 5th round why didn't Diaz go for more take downs? Condit won not because he caused damage or the leg kicks, No Condit won because he fought a smart fight hit without getting hit is this tactic exiting and entertaining? no i don't think so BUT I'm not the one in the octagon/ring taking a beating why would a fighter get in the octagon/ring and say "Yeah I'm here to get my brains scrambled as long as you guys are entertained"
Carlos didnt won the fight, Nick got robbed. And those leg kicks were nothing he landed 68 kicks that did no damage at all, he was just touching Nick s legs for points. if my granma would kick me 68 times i could not walk. Bottomline baby kicks
How did you know that Condits' kicks were baby kicks? were you kicked by him before?
