come on weasy, Condit/Diaz mirror images of each other? what are you smoking?
Condit isn't as technical as Diaz, not even close
Condit is a purple belt in jujitsu from WHOEVER, Diaz is a black belt BJJ from GRACIE
Condit isn't submitting anyone anytime soon, and Diaz is comfortable on his back, Condit is not.
you have a bit of a point there..i meant by "mirror images" that they`re both long,effective strikers with solid ju jitsu,poor takedown defense and not much wrestling acumen(more because of their wispy builds than their lack of ability...they get out-physical-ed on the ground).... ..and the righty/lefty aspect(like looking in a mirror)....
actually,condit is a way more technical striker than diaz,imo....and he has 13 submissions....why isn`t he submitting anyone?.....half his stoppages are submissions...hr has a better sub/win ratio than diaz....:shrug:
if you know boxing,you`d know that diaz isn`t really very technical...his defense is terrible(hands low,chin up)...his feet are all wrong(way too square at times)...he`s as immobile as a cigar store indian....
he`s long,uses the jab effectively,has a great chin and is a lefty......and .he can take more punishment than pretty much everyone else......that`s basically it...
he takes serious punishment in most of his fights....that`s because he`s not very good technically....if he could actually "box" with that lefty stance and height,he wouldn`t have struggled mightily with guys like evangelina santos and mike aina....
i don`t know when it will happen,but he`s heading toward "chuck liddel/big nog-ville"....sooner or later...you can`t keep taking that kind of punishment...
