If Carlos doesnt win this It will be the shock of the century. Im pulling for Ellenberger to put up a good fight though since I always cheer for the cannon fodder.
Not really impressed with Ellenberger's human blanketing on the ground. No attempt to advance whatsoever. I understand he gassed, but the difference here will be Condit's constant offence and defence. Condit by split decision.
Am I the only one who noticed that AMAZINGLY ILLEGAL KNEE TO THE HEAD OF A DOWNED OPPONENT IN THE 1st? I was like WTF!?? lol both men were impressive though Condit has some serious heart.
Depends what you mean by doing well, because he will never see the belt unless he's visiting the hall of fame or something. This reminded me of the Vera-Sozynski (sp?) fight. That win did almost nothing for Vera if he actually wants to be champion, this is a similar situation for Condit.
I thought he lost the fight, but even so, grinding out a split decision over a 3rd rate fighter, and getting knocked on your ass repeatedly, and taken down repeatedly, doing it, well, all I can say is now I know how much better the WW div is than the WEC now. Condit was the freakin champ at WEC, now he's 1-1, could've easily been 0-2, and his win is a nail biter over a nobody. That doesn't suggest great things in his future to me. He has some serious holes in his game, and if last night is any indication, he gets crushed by any top ten WW.
I now remember why Condit is one of my favorite fighters. This was a great fight. I dont think he trained to fight someone with that kind of power, i bet he will look a lot better in his next fight.
LOL, of course Cecil Peoples got it wrong. Ellenberger obviously won the first round and Condit obviously won the next two. Pretty clear-cut decision in my opinion.
Good stuff. Ellenberger has some solid potential. Too bad he fell off the map after round 1. Seriously good showing though.
Condit was entertaining as hell as always. I love how he is willing to give up a dominant position to try and finish the fight. And he was trying for the sub when he had the fight won, and only had 30 sec to a min left. That is why I like him.
I gotta admit one thing, im impressed with dan mirgliatta on this one. In the first round condit got FLOORED twice and went into the fetal position and I thought for sure it was over, but mr bad calls didn;t stop it. Good on him, because hes made some crap calls in the past.
I still do not know how i feel about this fight. Ellenberger really impressed me with his stand up but he really did not do anything when he was on top of condit. I am really impressed with how Condit came back but i will be watching Ellenberger in his next fight.
