and this wasn't some stupid street fight. this is a sport not a brawl for some lil kids.

Was Henderson/Guida a stupid street fight? I'd say no, yet it still managed to be exciting and engaging. Condit/Diaz was a snoozefest in comparison.
It's a sport. A sport about fighting. Don't act all high and mighty now, you watch a sport where the purpose is to hurt someone. I don't want to see someone running away. Avoiding attacks and countering? Sure! Avoiding any kind of engagement for 5 minutes just throwing occasional leg kicks? Hell no.
Congrats Condit, I dedicate this song to you:

in the great words of Bas Rutten
"when Ali sticks and moves he is the greatest boxer of all time, when Condit does it he is running. I don't get it" Fighting backwards is extremely hard to do. Nick Diaz was throwing baby punches as well so that argument is stupid.
It is extremely hard to punch backwards. Nick Diaz just has a great poker face. those kicks looked just as good as his punches. Tell me the last fighter to stand in the pocket with Nick Diaz and won? Amazing footwork and did more damage. I have no clue how people are seeing this fight. all the things on the chat box where i was watching the stream was Condit won. then Diaz said shit and it blew up that Condit was running and all that shit.
I kinda love seeing everybody so butthurt about the Diaz/Condit decision. It's like Diaz fans and dissenters are collectively mean mugging.

Really? You're making yourself look bad by comparing sticking and moving to running until your back is against the cage, then turning your back to your opponent and running to the other side, rinse and repeat. You're a knowledgeable guy on mma, so either you don't know much about boxing or you're feigning ignorance in the hopes that I don't.
Dude I'm not a Diaz fan. I was looking to see him get picked apart. But running isn't a winning strategy. Never has been. And I hope to god it doesn't become one. Imagine how sad mma will become if everyone starts using it. I may not like Diaz, but I'm not gonna use my dislike of him to endorse a strategy that should never be used in any competition that calls itself a fight.
You should be mad. Because by calling it a brilliant strategy you're advocating it become a regular part of mma. And I don't think its that difficult of a strategy to pull off, just takes the ability to not mind looking like a coward. You can't force someone to engage.

ur acting like there were 0 strikes? he fought well backwards. you don't fight in the pocket with Nick Diaz. Paul Daley lost doing that and he is a much better striker than Condit. either he runs out or looks like an idiot. If Condit ran hit. ran hit. and that was all sure. but no he engaged plenty until he was cornered and didn't bite into it. No people will not start using this because its a simple case of taking the middle and getting your opponent to come to them. Condit had 2 KO of the night performances before this he did this for pure strategy. That was Diaz kryptonite. You aren't gonna win a striking war with him and neither guy could wrestle and diaz has better submissions. So strategy had to come in. Maybe it looked silly. but it was far from boring. over 100 strikes were landed. i liked the fight. if you didn't thats cool but we aren't going to change each other minds. you made your points i made mine.

Who said he had to stay in the pocket? Do Dominic Cruz or Frankie Edgar stay in the pocket? No, but they don't run away all night either.
