The first round was MacDonald captilizing with takedowns while Condit probably landed more on the feet. MacDonald was able to time Condit's strikes or catch Condit was he was throwing a knee to acheive the takedown. Condit wobbled MacDonald with big right hand and landed several solid leg kicks. However, MacDonald was pressing the action the most of the round.

The second round was pretty even as Condit landed some leg kicks and managed to take MacDonald down only to be swept by MacDonald. Condit was trying to work the rubber guard but couldn't do much with it and MacDonald wasn't doing anything really offensive as Condit got back to his feet. MacDonald was the aggressor as he kept moving forward the whole round until Condit kind of took over for the last 40 seconds.

The last round saw Condit opening up with kicks. The exchange wildly and both land. MacDonald with a takedown attempt but Condit stuffs it. Condit with top position and is punishing MacDonald right now with elbows. Condit mounts MacDonald but then MacDonald gets half guard back. Condit with more elbows from the top.

Rory got robbed.

Seriously, let the fight go the last 7-8 seconds. Rory won rounds one and two. I think the ref screwed up by not letting the round end.

robbed is strong..he probably would have won the decision….but Condit was raping him in the third…so it was just IMO.

Rory would have won the decision but Carlos was easily the better fighter. Condit did far more damage than Rory in those first two rounds even though he lost them due to lay & pray.

I had the last round 10-8 so at best for Rory it would have been a draw but the reft made the right call stopping the fight the kid was done.
