Watch the fight again. He didn't turn his back to Diaz when he was circling out until the fourth round when he released Diaz lacked the footwork for it to matter catch him on the exit with his guard down. He only turned his back once or twice on the exit, every other time he circled and landed shots while he was exiting and then reset.

Looks like there may not be a rematch for Diaz.
Also, GSP supposedly said he would happily relinquish his belt to Condit just for the opportunity to fight Diaz.
If true, GSP must really want to beat Diaz down.
Mike Bernardo died. RIP.

Any opinions on Ronda Rousey vs Miesha Tate?
I like both women, and this is a tough call. The problem is, I can only see Ronda winning by submission. If she doesn't get one, Miesha will grind out a decision or even a late round finish.
I think Sarah Kaufman will eventually beat them both though. She should beat Alexis tomorrow too.
Strikeforce had some pretty cool fights last night.
Despite being on the undercard, Sarah Kaufman vs Alexis Davis was probably fight of the night.
Great fight to Ronda Rousey. I can't help feeling like Miesha was a bit too anxious to finish Ronda early, and wound up in the same armbar that Miesha claims she'd avoid.
We'll see a rematch I am sure though. I thought they'd drop the whole argument, but it looks like that will continue. I look forward to Rousey vs Kaufman. It'll be interesting to see how Rousey fares against Kaufman's striking+ takedown defense.
Jacare looked pretty good.
Misaki had Paul Daley scared that whole match. Good stuff to him.
I was disappointed in KJ. He wants to be the first world champion of both boxing and MMA, but he has to bite the bullet and legitimately learn to grapple. His escapes are nice, but he needs other skills for guys like Thomsom who can hold him down.
