Diaz Turns Down Condit Rematch


It has been reported that UFC President, Dana White, has offered a fight that one would assume that Diaz could not refuse, but he did.  Back at UFC 143 in February 2012, the UFC decided to put together a Welterweight fight for the Interim UFC Welterweight Championship in Georges St-Pierre's absence due to injury.

Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit were placed in opposite sides of the Octagon to fight for this title.  Carlos Condit easily out-scored Diaz in a five round MMA fight that was simply a kick boxing fight inside of a cage.  There was not a moment that one of them was truly in danger of the other, but it was inarguably a win for Condit.  Full fight link here courtesy of Carlos Condit's YouTube Channel.  If you watched the fight already then you know that this was one of Diaz's first retirements after he felt that he won the fight.  Any man in their right mind would want to avenge a loss that they felt that they had won, but not Nick Diaz folks.  Diaz was offered a rematch against Condit at UFC 171, but Nick Diaz declined to take the fight.

I think that if this fight were to occur a second time in their current states that it would be another Condit victory, but with a more aggressive Condit than before.  What are your thoughts on the rematch if it were to occur?

Kennedy to Meet Natal in November



After Lyoto Machida was removed from the UFC Fight for the Troops card to face mark Munoz in November, Tim Kennedy was left without an opponent.  Desperate to keep a fight in November and eager for a new opponent, Kennedy went to Twitter to call out some opponents to try to secure an opponent.  He call out Rich Franklin, Chris Camozzi, Wandelei Silva, Nick Diaz, Costa Philippou, Mauricio Rua and Rafael Natal.  Of all of the men that were called out, the one that came into fruition was Rafael Natal.

Rafael Natal is coming off of a three fight win streak coming off his fight of the night victory over Tor Treong in his last fight on Fox Sports 1in September.  Rafael Natal is  5-2-1 in the UFC and presents a real challenge for Kennedy in their bout in Kentucky. I think that this will be a pretty even fight in which both men will look to bring the fight to each other.
