GSP cant finish condit, probably ever.. i dont know why GSP and his fans thought he could finish the toughest and hardest chin at WW.. he simply doesn't have the power to achieve the knockout, and condits bjj is simply too good to get subbed.. GSPs bjj is completely focused on sub defence and positioning, he is fairly poor at the submissions themselves..

he is poor with submissions, especially when against someone with decent BJJ/wrestling, why risk losing the position he dominates in etc. its pretty obvious by now he plays a nice safe GNP game just controlling and doing enough to not get stood up. that being said his double leg is a work of art along with some of his striking, he has a great superman punch etc, i always love watching him fight, one of the most humble UFC fighters ever.

Diaz has a granite chin, his head snaps back and he doesn't even step away. As tough as they come, he takes 3 solid shots in a row and he's unfazed.
A good chin, but I wouldn't say granite based on the strikes he ate in that sequence. The head kick that Condit hit him with landed with the foot, and pretty close to the toes at that. It's not fun to get hit by that, but it doesn't do nearly as much damage as a clean shin bone to head hit such as the one he landed on GSP.

To be fair, Condit isn't really planted properly for any of those techniques because he's getting ready to run away if Nick comes back at him.

But if he had been planted, he wouldn't have been ABLE to get away fast enough and he would have been getting hit back, which round one taught him, he couldn't afford to do.

Yeah good thing Big John is an awesome ref and didn't prematurely stop the fight. Crazy fight. Nick definitely has one of the hardest chins in the business considering the fact that he gets tagged a lot and rarely flinches at solid shots. Love the first GIF after the combo he blows his nose like it was nothing lol.

Georges reacts to a head kick by getting rocked and falling over. Diaz reacts by casually sneezing in the octagon :fight01:
