UFC Primetime: Diaz vs Condit Episode 2

The second part of a part three series for the UFC 143 promo. In this episode, it focused more on the background and the lives of the fighter.



You can help but root for the both of them. One is a misunderstood figure and the other is an all around family man but there is no denying that both has an immense passion for the sport.

I was also pleasantly surprise with a cameo of a certain man named GSP. Here we can see the anger and the discontent of GSP when it comes to Nick Diaz. It came to a point where GSP confess the demons he has had and is currently facing. The demeanor and the facial expression of GSP says it all. He meant what he said and he will give Diaz a beating if they meet.

This has brought the meaning of the fight interim title fight onto another level. Can Diaz win and give us the fight we all have been waiting for the past one year or can Condit spoil the fun and claim the throne and face GSP to unify the title?

Either way, Diaz and Condit are worthy challenger to the title but I would be rooting for Diaz. A Diaz vs GSP fight is too hard to turn down and it has mass appeal to the UFC and MMA fans alike.

Its up to Diaz to make it happen or for Condit to prove us wrong.
