Roy Nelson $20,000 I know he's an TUF winner but he's had 5 UFC fights now so surely his contract should be up for renewal.

I thought the ufcs minimum contract was $8k/$8k (show/win) some of those guys only got $6k?

So whats eveyones thoughts on the weekends main event. I thought it was a close fight but gave Diaz rounds 1,2 and 5. some people have even accused Condit of 'running' Honestly i am not sure weather it was a good gameplan or just going for a decision. As a fight was a little disappointed it didn't really excite. Dana white has said if both fighters want it there is time for a rematch before GSP is ready to return but don't know if it will happen. A lot of risk for Condit he might lose his shot.

Well done on the perfect predictions TDK Top class!

Diaz looks his best when he's backed his opponents up against the cage and he's bullying them, firing constant punches like he did against BJ Penn. Condit didn't let him do that. He's probs the only fighter in Diaz's last 10 fights that's gone into the cage with a plan on how to beat him and not just engage in a Diaz tear up. He stayed light on his feet and out of danger. It didn't make for the best fight but it done the trick for Condit.

I thought Diaz won rounds 1 and 2 and Condit took the rest. Not fussed about a rematch between the pair. Not after that fight.

GSP should be back Novemberish... Still no threat to his belt in the division.

Rumour doing the rounds that Nick Diaz failed his UFC143 drug test for marijuana. Should hear something concrete on friday...I'm pretty sure he failed a test a few years back? Can't believe he'd pull that shit before a UFC interim title fight though!

already confirmed, no surprise, yep he tested positive after the Gomi fight. He has a perscription for medical use in california but that dosen't give any fight exemptions. The re-match was going to be signed this weekend as well according to Condit. His own worst enemy

good excuse for losing though, being high
