That's gotta be an old pic of Condit. I was having a bit of doubt, but after seeing the Muay Thai fighters being brought in I think GSP is preparing for a Muay Thai war mixed with his infamous takedowns and relentless GNP. His HIT training is INTENSE. I would last a whole five minutes and that's it for the day.

GSP by UD or possible submission in the 4th.

Those were tears of shame.

Stoked for this one, first time going into a fight that I'm actively pulling for Georges since the Trigg fight.

I hope it goes 5 rounds and Condit gets what's coming to him. Imagine how much more exciting this would be if it was GSP/Diaz...

Why would he cry tears of shame?

Because a bunch of butthurt Diaz fans didn't like his technical approach?

I expect GSP to comeback with a great performance. I truly think St Pierre is one of the few great fighters in the UFC and I believe the injury and time off will make him even more motivated which will be shown by his performance. I'm expecting GSP to do damage to Condit with both strikes and ground and pound. I think its possible for GSP to stop Condit if he does it will likely be in the later rounds, If he doesn't finish Condit I do expect him to at least bust Condit up. I've been saying for a while GSP is due to devastate one of his opponents, I know he is capable, and I have a feeling this fight is the one a lot of fans have been waiting for.

this pretty much sums it up. If GSP is 100% Condit is going to have a long night. Unless GSP also re-discovered his killer instinct, in which case it will be a short night. If he didn't regain his explosiveness, he's pretty much toast. That is what sets him above everyone else. He loses that there's a few WW that will flatten him

Very skeptical about GSP coming off this particular injury... But looking at the fight on paper, GSP via (T)KO round 2. Against the grain I know.

He really has taken the time to try and come back right, and I think he really wants to stop Condit who is UNDOUBTEDLY a lesser fighter. Condit loses the mental game and get's overwhelmed by a GSP with serious fire under his ass.

Stop being butthurt over Condit/Diaz. Watch Condit's fight with Rory if you think he will "mentally break".

That being said, I think St. Pierre takes a 5 round decision. This is a very bad matchup for Condit, who was taken down and controlled by a leg bbq'd Diaz. St. Pierre also won't get swept like Kim either. His top control will be too strong.

Condit is a fighter i always feel has a shot as long as he is in there, not the kind to break at all. It was his will to win that led to him abandoning his normal aggressive style to outpoint Diaz.

If Condit was clearly losing fighting like that you can bet on him coming out aggressive against Diaz, but what was working was working and he had no reason to switch it up.

Like how this thread is using the picture i used for my sig like a year ago. So excited for this fight. Love both fighters and where I think GSP is better on paper he leaves fighters alive for too long. He does not finish fights when he should and as has already been said on this thread Condit always looks for the win as long as he is still alive. He is always dangerous and I think if GSP doesnt finish it he will give condit too many chances to win. That and I think that Condit has everything needed to beat GSP. Can no wait to see how this plays out. If it will be a fight people will love rewatching for a long time or all the foolish people saying it was boring even though they it was a smart gameplan. it has the opportunity for both I'm afraid.

That knee is going to get wrecked Georgey boy. Hopefully after this fight he retires for good.

Condit wins via being the better fighter. He's proven himself against a plethora of solid grapplers in the UFC. Kim, Ellenberger and Rory Mac. His height and reach advantage is going to give him a good advantage on the feet, I expect plenty of his signature kicks to the knee, like he did to perfection in the Dan Hardy fight and several hooks to the body when GSP comes lunging in with his jab which leaves his body wide open for a counter. On the ground I expect Condit to actively look for sweeps, subs and elbows to the head, giving George all kinds of problems.

Then hopefully we get a Diaz/Condit rematch and see the fight that we fans deserved from the first one. Two starving Hyenas thrown into a sack.

No. lmao

I don't know what's caused more arguments, Machida/Shogun or Condit/Diaz. I was on Sherdog during Machida/Shogun 1 and 2 and that was ten times worse than anything I've seen here for any fight.

Condit was exchanging with Diaz in round one. It wasn't until Diaz backed him on the cage and began to outclass him that Condit suddenly adopted a magical 'gameplan' that involved getting booed out of the building.

Really that`s a big part of why I`m so stoked about this fight. Condit is coming up against an actual gameplanner who is going to crush him and remind him why he used to be a balls to the wall scrapper. Because if you aren`t the absolute best in the world (Carlos isn`t) then game-planning actually just gets you booed and eventually cut.

Condit is by far the most "versatile" striker that GSP has faced by far. That said, I don't think he'll be quicker or faster than GSP. I still see GSP peppering him with jabs early on which will lead to Condit trying to kick GSP's knees and that will be when he gets his ass tossed to the ground. I hope that the Jitz specialist they brought for Condit specializes in offensive jujitsu from his back because that's where Condit is going to be all night. There is NOBODY that can escape GSP's top control, he doesn't need to sub his opponent and he is skilled/strong enough to defend subs from the top while maintaining position.

After 3 rounds of hot love making on the ground and losing by points to GSP, Condit will prob come out with his Jon Jones imitation of unorthodox back fist/flying knee gambles.. This is the only time GSP will be exposed when Condit fights in full retard mode instead of a game plan. If the gamble fails (which it prob will) then he'll get tossed on the ground and get humped again and will have his cardio severely tested.

In the final championship round, if Condit is gassed he'll get peppered with strikes from a distance followed by a final take down and some more humpage. If Condit is not gassed, he'll gamble again and prob will get taken down and humped to death.

GSP by 5 rounds of sweet man love.

Diaz switches stances often in most of his fights, hasn't really got any thing to do with leg kicks. He does it when he isn't having the best success striking, switching up his strategy to confuse his opponent. If you want to see Diaz face a striker throwing leg kicks with purpose, then watch the Cyborg fight.

Who cares about Condit vs. Diaz. It's in the past. Let it go.

Carlos isn't going to throw half as many leg kicks once he realizes how easily GSP can take him down. That will cut his gameplan in half fairly quickly. GSP will take this fight via dominant top control, though I still look for Condit to be fairly scrappy on bottom. GSP will walk away with the win, but he'll be worse for wear (as are most who face Carlos, win or lose).

GSP will take him down and beat him up. Condit ain't subbing him off his back and i doubt he'll be able to sweep him. Even if he did, what good would that be? Fitch made a living of keeping fighters on their back and GSP escaped in like 10 seconds. GSP isn't Dong Hyun Kim who's going to stay put waiting for a big strike.
