UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit Main Event Photos from Kelvin Kuo

There were some amazing highlights from the UFC 143 main event between Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit. You had it all from both fighters, the technical striking from Condit and the unforgettable trash talking by Diaz. Condit even mentioned Diaz saying, “So we’re throwing spinning shit now…” when he threw a spinning back fist during the fight. Now, that’s classic Diaz.

QUESTION: What’s next for both Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz?

UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit Fight Photos from James Law

It was all about decisions during the main card at UFC 143, but there were a good amount of finishes as well throughout the card. From the submissions from Dustin Poirier and Ed Herman to the KO/TKO finishes from Stephen Thompson and Matt Brown, it was a good showing all around. Plus, the the Diaz/Condit and Nelson/Werdum fights weren’t boring either.

5 Great Photos from UFC on Fox 2 Prelims

The prelim fights brought more excitement than the main card on UFC on Fox 2. This is where you witnessed Fight of the Night between Evan Dunham and Nick Lentz, Knockout of the Night by Lavar Johnson, and Submission of the Night by Charles Oliveira. Also, I didn’t even mention the mouthpiece knockout from Cub Swanson, which I felt should have won KOTN.

If they only had time to show one of these during the main card, it would have made it a ton better for the new fans watching it on Fox.

5 Great Photos from Evans vs. Davis (UFC on Fox 2)

Rashad Evans looked like a guy who didn’t want to be in there with Phil Davis. Not because he felt he was going to be beat him, but because he didn’t think the Penn State National Champion was on his level. Throughout the fight, he was able to control it where ever the fight went. On top of that, he was able to display a dynamic wrestling game fit for MMA. With this win, we finally get to see him fight for the title against Jon Jones.

5 Great Photos from Sonnen vs. Bisping (UFC on Fox 2)

In a controversial end to a fought well fight, Chael Sonnen takes the victory in a split decision against Michael Bisping. Sonnen claims he was rocked in the first round against Bisping, and never really recovered. With that said, he was able to pull it out winning the first and third round according to two judges.

Bisping came out of the first with a moral win where many doubted him. He was able to bring it against the best, and many folks thought he won the fight, but the ones you need to convince are the judges. That’s why Sonnen is heading to Brazil this summer to rematch his nemesis Anderson Silva.
