I didn't see the prelims, are they repeated on ESPN at all? If not I'll find them online.

The kick.... Awesome!!! There was loads about the guy before he fought because hes gone something like 50 kickboxing MMa and kickboxing fights without losing. I've attached the youtube link for it

I hate Koscheck. Dana said if Diaz stays he'll probrably fight Koscheck next. I'd love to see Diaz shut him up. I thought Pierce won the fight but it was that boring and nobody commited anything so they both deserved nothing!!

I like Roy Nelson although I'm a fan of anyone who sports a mullet. He is becoming a bit of a novelty punchbag for the UFC. What a chin hes got though.

Condit was impressive but I think he'll struggle against GSP. Does anyone think he will beat him?

Did anyone stay up and watch the fights? I did but i forgot they put them back an hour a while ago so the show wasnt finished until 5.45.... I'm still exausted today!

Enrique - hell no I didn't stay up! Was a nice treat to watch on Sunday.

Koscheck vs Diaz would just be a battle of the annoying idiots. I'd want them both to lose...

Cheers for the video of the kick, that guy looks savage.

I like Condit, I think he's quite an exciting fighter with the strikes he goes for, but I don't see him having much of a chance against GSP. GSP should be able to nullify most of what Condit can do, and control the fight on the floor.

Its a shame cos no one really wants to see Condit GSP too badly.

Diaz let himself down the other night tho during and after the fight. Would love to see Condit beat GSP but you know if he does the injury will be used as the excuse and itll roll on for ages after until a rematch.

I think it's all irrelevant anyway the whole Diaz/Condit result.

Condit gets a "make believe belt" as Brock would put it and gets the chance to lose to GSP earlier than Diaz will.

Diaz will no doubt collect his toys back from Dana, beat Koscheck and get beaten by GSP further down the line.

What happens now with Condit though? Will he take any fights inbetween GSP getting fit? Seems a long time to have no fight given that GSP won't be fighting until at least October, assuming there's no set backs.

Who else is there in Welterweight to challenge? Now Penn, Fitch, Hardy and Diaz for now are out the picture, it's being shown up to be quite a weak division in my opinion. Bisping at 170 or too far a cut?

I know people will suggest Hendrick's but he just looks an average fighter to be honest.

Can't see anybody beating that french candian with the sexy voice. Freak of nature he is. Always gets noticably better each fight.

He's a vet, but he's still only 30, so Im sure he'll recover. the guys such a machine, I see no reason why to be honest.

Not seen a great deal of Ellenburger, but isn't he in the /Hendricks/Sanchez/Koscheck mould?

These type of fighters just wont trouble GSP, as they're all wrestlers without the skills and strength of GSP.

I also think Ellenberger should be given a better matchup than Diego Sanchez. Diego is a bit of a journey man to me and if Ellenberger is on a win streak and just knocked out a recent title contender in Jake Shields, surely he should be given a tougher test?

Koshcek?
