    You tell us: How should the UFC handle the Condit-Diaz-GSP mess?

    No matter what, Condit still gets a Harley out of the deal. (Getty)The Carlos Condit-Nick Diaz controversy continues unabated. In the latest bit of news, the on-again, off-again rematch again appears to be off, and speculation has begun as to the reasons why.

    If the UFC doesn't get Condit-Diaz 2, it has to go back to the drawing board and figure out which direction to take the top of the welterweight division for the remainder of 2012.

    The company also has a habit of making matches Internet fans want when they make enough noise. So here's your chance to play matchmaker. Vote in our poll and tell us which big fight you want to see next at 170 pounds.

    Hold off for Georges St-Pierre vs. Condit: This was, after all, what was promised to begin with.

    Don't give up on making Condit-Diaz 2 happen; have the winner fight GSP: The first fight was close and there's a lot of fan interest, so go for it.

    Strip GSP of the title and let him fight Diaz: If Diaz is the fight St-Pierre really wants, let him have it, but don't hold up the rest of the welterweight division to do it.

    Have Condit defend interim belt against someone else while GSP recuperates: Condit has already defeated Diaz and St-Pierre will be out awhile, so have Condit defend against another top welterweight contender.</p><p>

    Enough with all the Condit-Diaz-GSP talk: For those who would rather talk about anything else at this point.

      GSP wants Diaz and said he would drop his title to get a shot at him. Let him have it since it's the fight Dana White and the UFC would rather market

      This probably won't be a popular post. But since Diaz is suspended... AGAIN for testing positive for weed (which will likely be a 9 month or longer suspension) I say strip GSP of his title, make Condit the champ and have GSP fight Diaz for the #1 contender spot. The timeline between GSP's expected return and Diaz's suspension should be around the same time no?

      GSP vs Diaz is the fight that everyone wanted and is the real reason people wanted Diaz to win over condit, Condit beat Diaz pretty thourghly, not as bad as GSP would have though. Diaz dosent want to fight GSP, he has had a shot and was to scared to show up for the Pressers, he also wanted to have an excuse after he beat condit, only he lost so he retired knowing full well he was fixing to fail his drug test.. I hope people will quit talking about this condit/diaz rematch crap now..

        Man i think right now more interset in Diaz-Condit rematch than Condit-GSP let do it if Condit pulls off another victory their would be even more build up for Condit-GSP

      Diaz is irrelevant to talk about for a year, move on to something else.
      • mahmoud 3 months ago
        Lets hope not he's just banned in 1 state maybe the diaz -condit rematch could happen in Canadan just a thought.

      Diaz's drug test took care of the mess. What a dip #$%$

      Why did Nick do the dope? He knew he'd get caught. This entire Soap Opera is just crazy! And, if it weren't for the dollar signs, that Dana White sees, he'd kick Diaz to the curb. White's been critical of; Roy Nelson and his weight and said that Roy "didn't take himself seriously ". Diaz has been his own worst enemy, for quite a while now. Diaz doesn't take the UFC serious.

        Someone else posted Diaz had a medical card for it ?
    • JohnC  •  San Antonio, Texas  •  3 months ago

      the pot Diaz smokes stays in the system about 30 days, very good smoke. He has a prescrition for it in California where he lives. Ask any fighter they would like for their opponent to smoke pot. Its a demotivator. Far from something that helps you fight, train or get stronger.
    • mahmoud  •  3 months ago
      Can someone confirm if Diaz had a medical for marijuana ?

      let's have a tag team match. doyle and diaz vs gsp and condit. The Dopeheads vs The Champs.

      I don't understand why there is debate about this. Diaz/Condit was for the interim belt. Condit won. Now he should defend his (interim) belt until GSP comes back and they fight to unify them. Isn't that the whole point of an interim champ? It's not friggen rocket science.

      Condit deserves a fight with GSP for the title. This is only fair. He did not have a close bout with Diaz. Diaz had it handed to him for most of the fight. Condit beat Diaz standing up. Diaz and his kicks looked weak. Condit beat him fair. If GSP can't fight by November he should lose his title and their should be a title bout for it. The winner of the title fight would then face GSP. If Diaz and Condit do fight again, it should be for the title. This is only fair to Condit. He deserves it. Diaz should have to work his way up again and fight Koscheck, or Rory McDonald. Diaz had a wake up call that he has not faced the high levels fighters in the UFC yet. I would not even rank in the top 5 in the UFC. These fighters are more well rounded than Daley, KJ Noons, Scott Smith, and Cyborn. These are the fighters that Diaz has beat. Are they contentors? I think not. Daley is a great striker, but horrible on the group.

      So I've had time to think about this. Maybe, just maybe, Diaz KNEW he'd pop on Operation Golden Flow and THAT'S why he was so upset after the fight. He had to know he was behind on the scorecards.....
    • Scott  •  Austin, Texas  •  3 months ago
      Diaz out for a year for pot!?!?! Shows what type of discipline he really has. #$%$!!!

        I hate that you can't even call someone an unintelligent donkey without censorship. LOL

      Have Condit defend interim belt against someone else while GSP recuperates:

      Diaz will most likely be fined and suspended for testing positive for MaryJane. If he had won we'd all be talking about Diaz's title being stripped from him. At this point it seems we should move on to the next fighter. Josh Koscheck, Diego Sanchez, Johny Hendricks, Yoshihiro Akiyama.

      And f all you f-ers #$%$ with #$%$ Diaz. Now that explains why he wasn't able t cut Condit off. And funny thing is Condit couldn't engage with a stoned Diaz. Imagine if Nick had not blazed before the bout? That also might explain his tirade at the end. The munchies made him do it. SO f you all for naysaying the mother f-er. LOC and Diaz 4 Lyfe!
