PrintWe're a few short weeks away from UFC 137 and the return of welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre to the cage. St. Pierre will face off with the dangerous Carlos Condit in a title fight in the main event of that show with his next challenger possibly being decided in the co-main event fight of the card between Nick Diaz and B.J. Penn.
The promo videos for the card are ramping up with the latest entry on the UFC YouTube page being a brief interview with Georges St. Pierre:
From the video:
I'm going to have to deal with a guy who has knockout power, very technical striker and a great ground game as well. Unpredictable fighter. I've seen a lot of improvement in Carlos' game but I believe I'm a more improved fighter than Carlos is. I have a game plan to take care of Carlos and I will execute it. He's not my friend and I don't put any emotion in but I believe I will have the key to victory. I do believe I will be able to knock him out or submit him. I will remain the welterweight champion.

having said that, I think Condit will be in his face and does provide a more legitimate challenge in all areas than some of his previous challengers, so I predict Condit to take Fitch-levels of punishment without going away quietly and to last the 5 rounds.
I should know better but I'm really starting to buy that Condit can win.

not a perfect scorecard though
he didn’t call him the most dangerous opponent he’s ever faced.

i love condit
but dude has a hard time staying off his back and GSP is the best fighter in the UFC in getting a fighter down and keeping them there.

Never seen him controlled on the ground for more than a round though.
Condit will get back up each time.

he hasn't faced a wrestler near the caliber of GSP
He took the “avoid Fitch and Koscheck on the way to the title” route popularized by Hardy

He's smart for it.
And he did beat Ellenberger.

GSP can definitely put Condit on his butt
I also believe GSP can stop him via ground and pound (T)KO.
Go GSP. Make it happen!
I am also fine with another 5 round fight. Carlos is an exciting fighter and GSP is a technical wonder to watch inside the cage.
As soon as GSP finishes Condit we can call Jose Aldo Mr. Decision. (Ha!)

I don't know why, but I enjoy watching Dominic Cruz win.
when was the last time GSP dominated anyone with ground and pound? BJ Penn?

I’d believe GSP is capable of finishing Condit moreso than most other opponents because Condit isn’t going to go quietly into the night if he starts getting outclassed. I think Condit’s the kind of guy that will risk putting himself in a disastrous position just to get out of a bad position.

I have a good feeling about this one.
I have had a strong albeit unfair dislike for GSP since he beat Thiago Alves at 100. I know he is a great fighter and all of that jargon but I still always bet against him. I am a big Carlos Condit fan and I think he will be able to pull it off. As long as Condit doesn’t get freaked out by GSP like so many others have done and continually pressures him then I think he could take this.
I’m predicting TKO to crown a new champ!! Finally. :0)
Condit will finish GSP on the 29th.
IT’s his time. GSP is too comfortable where he is, he needs a fire lit under his ass, and that’s what Condit is going to do.
As a GSP nut-hugger I whole heartedly agree that he needs a fire lit under him...
… just hope it’s a Frankie comeback from the dead result.
he’s got Danaher (never fought in MMA) telling him stuff about “perfect” victory. he’s got Greg Jackson (never fought in MMA that i’m aware of) making his game plans (well, not for this fight).

no desire to see GSP fight any more. having left his previous 3 fights to get my car in the parking lot, he’s going to have to do something amazing for me to tolerate the drunk crowd at the bar while watching him coast for 5 rds. i’m only semi-interested in Condit or Diaz in fighting GSP b/c THEY will attempt to make a fight. Shields, Hardy, Koscheck….masterful fights by GSP or whatever, they were boring as f***. If I wanted to watch someone jab for 5 rounds, i’d watch boxing. if i wanted to watch a grappling match, i’ll watch the ADCC.
It’s mixed martial arts. is it too much to ask that the champion of the 170 lb class try to finish a fight?

Thought the Shields fight was pretty entertaining myself.

That was the only one of his recent fights I didn’t enjoy, but I give him a pass because I think Shields was intentionally going for the eye poke in that fight.
And it was still pretty boss when GSP knocked him down with that switch kick.
My name isn't Todd.
I think he was too

This doesn't seem like a competitive fight to me...
Condit’s has a massive glaring hole in his game in take down defence. Sure he’s great at sweeping people and regaining better position but I just don’t see him being able to do that against GSP at all. Also, when was the last time we saw GSP even remotely close to being subbed when he’s been in top position? With that said, I don’t believe GSP will finish him, but he’ll likely put on a dominating performance (a la BJ 2 or Fitch) again.
Condit’s stand up is tight but it’s really being overrated because he knocked out Hardy (overrated striker) and Kim (awful stand up). He throws a lot of reckless stuff, which makes for an entertaining fight but GSP is too technical on the feet, too elusive and going to make Condit pay (see Ellenberger fight).

I'm going to fly out my window tomorrow
This window is the #1 window in the building
This window presents me with new challenges I haven’t faced before
but I am a true flying man
and I will fly
and this time I will definitely fly
I'm excited to see someone that isn't afraid of St. Pierre
Condit doesn’t buy into the “don’t fight teammates” BS, didn’t quit when he was getting absolutely trucked by McDonald, and apparently, burst into tears when Dana told him he was fighting for the title. He seems to have singular drive that others don’t, and I love that about him.
I think we’re about to see a kid that is going to go out there to win every second of that fight, and I can’t help pulling for him because of it.

Last Sentence
Noticed he isn’t even promising it anymore, just that he believes he will lol. The last sentence is the most realistic – he will remain welterweight champion. 5 round decision.
Condit stands a a far better chance than Diaz just because he has power in his strikes.
And am I the only one who finds it nuts that Condit has only won by decision once in his entire career? He’s stopped everyone except Ellenberger.

To me it's not even about the boringness of the guy.
I’m just tired of his nice guy act despite not being that good of a fighter. I’d hoping Condit busts his chops so we can get a new WW champ, and GSP can climb the ladder again. Maybe throw him the BJ? After BJ knees the shit out of Diaz’s chin of course.

Would any of you want to get knocked out?
I think GSP wants to have a long, healthy career. I can understand why he would take the safe route to a string of title defenses. I mean, who wants to end up like Roy Jones Jr?
remembered as an all time great?
Having god like reflexes and speed Mercury himself would be jealous of?
That would be horrible.
You don’t know what you are talking about Jr. . Rjj would go 12 rds. Without getting touched. Straight styling on fools. Gsp will never be thought of in the same light.

Say what you may about Condit’s chances, him getting fitched or w/e…. But I really don’t believe GSP is going to outstrike him. Condit has shown that he is pretty good at letting his strikes go even under the threat of the takedown. I actually kind of like his chances of winning…. I’ll probably think that statement is ridiculous after the fight.
"UFC is so gay, pride is awesome!"
I love Condit. No one loves him more than me. But frankly it seems a bit lucky that he got the title. Getting past Penn would’ve been no gimme, in fact I’d go with Penn. Fitch and Kos also would have my money. It didn’t really look like he was dominating his matches with any of his recent wins until he landed his (insert mma move here). He was getting worked by Rory Mac until he turned it on at the very end with that extra gear that only he knows. But that ain’t gonna work against a seasoned vet like GSP, who has destroyed the destroyers (Fitch, Alves, Kos).
I’d love for the magic to continue, but I think it runs out on this one. Really glad to see him in a title match though. Despite his luck, he deserves it.
