I didn't go to the first Vancouver card but I remember watching the event thinking that this Rory kid was in tough against a guy like Condit. Didn't know who he was but I remember thinking he was just a token BC kid being led to slaughter. The crowd went nuts for him, though and he put on a solid performance for the those first two rounds. Made a fan out of me as well. I just went down to the Seattle Fox card, largely to see Rory fight and the crowd reaction was in reverse as it was in Vancouver. The crowd was booing him so loudly, I couldn't hear his post fight interview.
One thing I like about Rory is how he's addressed the first Condit fight. While he exceeded our expectations he's said he's not happy about his performance in that fight, with the crowd overwhelmingly behind him he felt he let his emotions get the better of him.
