Now that we're on the verge of seeing Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit II go down in the immediate future, this episode of 'Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda' has just a tad more meaning. We're not talking about 'paradigm bending' meaning in which you believe the universe is just a macroscopic representation of our microscopic universe (or the microscopic universe is really just outerspace) -- but it's pretty rad.

Scottie Epstein, the owner of 10th Planet West LA and overall badass has teamed up with MiddleEasy.com in our relatively new feature 'World, Shoulda, Coulda.' In the feature, Scottie Epstein analyzes the previous UFC bout and discusses submissions that could have happened, but just didn't. In this episode, we tackle the highly controversial UFC 143 bout -- and something tells me you're going to enjoy this one.

If you live in the Los Angeles area, be sure to take a visit down to 10th Planet West LA. Classes are offered for all levels, even the guys that sit on their couch and scream a submission is locked when it really isn't. Check out their website here. Besides, it has the smoothest logo in all of jiu-jitsu. If you tell them MiddleEasy referred you, your first class is free. Be sure to follow Scottie Epstein on Twitter at @scottiemc2.

This is a horrible breakdown of the DiazvCondit fight. From the back you can only armlock the weak side arm. (the side that is on the ground) This guy is grabbing the strong side arm which would be the side you would put the RNC on. Also Nick Diaz knows he was selling the armlock HE HAD LESS THAN 60 SECONDS TO FINISH THE FIGHT! He didn't "forget" about the RNC It just so happens that because of it being an advanced move, less people know how to defend an armbar from the back than they do the RNC.

And I don't believe that rib compression submission would work in an MMA fight with 60 seconds left. I really don't think you are going to destroy anyones ribs like that and Condit would probably just tough it out. After he didn't tap out Nick's legs would just be gassed as fuck and it wud just b a waste of energy

I don't think that the point that is being made here about the arm lock set up being right or wrong.its about the body lock and it has nothing to do with rib compression .he never said it did. but it is the internet and you opinion even though completely wrong is valued by well ...you. are you still upset? what belt are you in jiu jitsu btw?

Carlos Condit vs. Nick Diaz II will NOT happen. An issue arose from Nick's camp last night. Nick will NOT be able to compete.

I will not go into nature of why N. Diaz can't compete in a rematch against Condit. Condit will be in Vegas Friday to complete GSP deal

Well I agree fully with that comment about the body lock sub. Condit was not going to tap to a body triangle!!

Then again, he did say 9 out of 10, so he was probably suggesting Condit was the 1 out of 10, thus the need for the head crank. Even then thou, I'm not sure Condit would have tapped.

its an option. you cant say it would have or wouldnt have its a dumb thing to argue about cause it didnt happen. try the move and see if it works for you.it works when i use it

Maybe you guys should listen to the comment at the end again. 'It's free. If you don't like it, don't watch.'

I don't like the mat color or epsteins hair style. This has alot todo with hats going on here. If those things changed I'd love this video.

Seriously Scott Epsiten is the biggest homo wannabe out there. He fought a few bums and hangs around MMA fighters as a wanna be actor (horrid btw).

He came to our school in NJ to do a seminar and got tapped by a purple and a brown belt. Everyone was embarrassed for him.
