Condit is all class too, also doesn't cry like a bitch like Diaz after losing, Condit has lost his last two fights too wrestlers, and when they asked him what he needs to do, the first thing he said, is I need to work on my wrestling.  Now why the fuck can't Diaz just give himself an honest appraisal of his performance and where his game is lacking.  He needs to be physically stronger and better at wrestling (it's not rocket science).  He really needs someone honest supporting him telling him 'How it is' instead of him thinking 'He is the man'.

Diaz needs to Forget triathlons, do some strength training and work vigilantly on his wrestling and go see a sports psychologist coupled with some decent PR and media management.

I'm not watching it .
What did he do offensively from the guard ?

[Krankenstein]

Agreed.

I think that for as much as Dana likes to make money for the UFC, the idea of a female division still makes him uneasy.

The female division would allow the UFC to reach a broader market, bringing in a bigger fan base, which would bring in even more money. Unfortunately, it won't be without its obvious problems (sexual harassment, innuendo, or shenanigans), problems that the average house of guys could simply overlook and chalk up to locker room shit talking. It can get tricky if one of those guys comes under the influence and then tries to harass one of those ladies.

That said, I like Ronda Rousey. I think she is a very pretty girl and highly marketable. While I don't think she is nearly as impressive as cyborg was, it's a start and could lead to some interesting matches.

If they do get the female division going, maybe their next step will be the tranny division. We are already seeing much interest in that potential circus sideshow act.

"1"

I wonder what will be worse....

1) The ratings for the "live" season of TUF
2) The ratings for the TUF with females

I would imagine there will be more "in fighting" in the house among the women than guys do.  Also, is Dana ready to handle the backlash of female "emotions" coming into play with all of this.  I forgot how long the fighters are all kept in the same house, but it is a fact that women's cycles tend to start coinciding with other women when they are grouped together.

Is the average guy really interested in the fighting or is that same person really hoping for a "nip slip" or possibly letting this feed into age-old sexual nature of two women fighting.  I mean, talk about a mind fuck.  Watching two guys grapple is supposedly "gay", will watching two women fight make me hetero?

condit worked offensively from the guard

Agreed, I think the work he did of his back neutralised any advantage from Hendricks takedown,  Hendricks never once capitalised on his take-downs, it was more used as a counter to beginning to lose in the stand up exchange.  I actually thought Condit won the fight, no way it was a unanimous decision.  Condit finished like an animal, he was literally getting up from a take-down and rushing in to bang again, snarling and focused, I thought he fought a great fight.
