LAS VEGAS – UFC president Dana White understands why Nick Diaz is upset, even if he doesn’t agree with the fighter’s belief that he won Saturday’s UFC 143 main event.

He also understands if Diaz goes through with an announced retirement, even if he thinks it’d be financially foolish to do so.

Quite simply, White has given up on trying to predict the 28-year-old’s often-erratic behavior.

LAS VEGAS – Carlos Condit solved one of the most challenging puzzles in MMA.

The former WEC champ implemented a remarkably effective game plan and
won the UFC’s interim welterweight title by stifling ever-active but
ultimately frustrated ex-Strikeforce titleholder Nick Diaz, who
suggested he may retire after the loss.

The fight headlined UFC 143 and aired on pay-per-view from Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center. Prelims aired on FX and streamed on Facebook.

Nowadays, Nick Diaz’s plan of attack isn’t just strategy – it’s philosophy.

Fans can pretty much bet that he’ll walk down his opponent and throw
punches until he buckles under the pressure. That’s real fighting, the
way he sees it, and though the variables may change inside the cage, his
approach is the same.

Carlos Condit is next in line to accept the Diaz challenge. Will he be able withstand the onslaught?

LAS VEGAS – Be worried if Nick Diaz is anything other than sullen and nearly uncooperative on fight week.

He’s got George St-Pierre’s “dark place” right here: double-bird.

“I didn’t really feel like there was anything emotional about (my last
performance),” Diaz said today. “The only thing I was emotional over was
whether or not they were going to rob me out of a decision or not.”

UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre admits UFC 143 is going to be weird. After all, he’ll be rooting for enemy Nick Diaz.

“I want this fight with Diaz so badly – as badly as I wanted the title shot when I got down on my knees,” St-Pierre today told the UFC.

That was seven years ago at UFC 56, when his career looked a whole lot different than it does today. Of all the punches he’s slipped on his current path, this one has hit hardest.
