Carlos Condit’s trainer, Greg Jackson, recently spoke to Inside MMA about the upcoming interim welterweight championship fight at UFC 143 against top-ranked challenger Nick Diaz.
Jackson shared his thoughts on why the Condit vs Diaz showdown will be a big five-round war.
The following quote is from the appearance, which aired Monday night on HDNet:
“It really is (going to be an interesting fight). You know, Diaz is so tough, and he’s really turned it on this last year or two. He’s looked amazing. Carlos has too, so I think it’s going to be a real barnburner with those two guys. They’re both tough as nails and I’m expecting a huge five round war. I’d like it to go short in our favor but Nick’s so tough, it’s going to be a big five round war.”
