| Carlos Condit Accepts Nick Diaz Rematch
Link to full article: MMA Underground Forums Quote:
At UFC 143 on Saturday, Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit fought five rounds for the UFC Interim Welterweight title, with Condit winning the unanimous decision. The outcome was controversial, with Diaz, along with many fans, fighters, and media members feeling that his constant forward pressure was enough to win a clear decision.
At the post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White said he was open to the possibility of a rematch, but made it clear that both parties had to be eager to fight. As Diaz was so maddened by the decision that he announced his retirement immediately post-bout in the Octagon, and because yesterday Condit's camp indicated they were not interested, there was little hope that the rematch would be made.
However, sources close to the deal just confirmed with The Underground that Carlos Condit has accepted a rematch with Nick Diaz, with the UFC Interim Welterweight title again on the line.
Condit said 'Yes, I accept the rematch' and will be in Las Vegas on Thursday to finalize the deal.
The winner will presumably face GSP for the Unified Welterweight title, when the Canadian recovers fully from knee surgery, which is expected to be around November.
It's unclear at this time as to when the rematch will take place, but it looks like the fans have got what they asked for.

Man, this is one move I would not have made if I was him....that's just way too risky.

I enjoyed watching the first fight, I'll enjoy watching the second. There are no losers when you watch 2 guys of their calibre go at it; unless of course you're way too personally and emotionally invested in a fighter.
