GSP is LOCK of the CENTURY material

[CanuckG]

Fix is in my friends

[MFDoom013]

Carlos Condit is a dangerous guy on the feet but i believe he will be neutralized quite quickly he will get taken down at will and dominated on the ground, he will have his hands full just avoiding gsp's ground game.

This. GSP will wrestlefuck his way to an easy decision. This fight is just like any other GSP fight. Not sure why people are sweating it, other than maybe worries about his ACL?

I'm betting GSP, just trying to decide how much.

[Chong Wizard]

Anyone wanna give me Condit at +300 for 400 SBR points?

Anybody interested?

[dj_destroyer]

People who think GSP may not be 100% are out to lunch.

People will be saying "It looks like he never left" after the fight or "certainly hasn't lost anything".

BANK IT BOYS.

[FindTheLock]

condit is not an easy fight for anybody, and it should be a very exciting fight to watch.

[zoo youk]

for those that don't venture into the UFC sub forum, i'll pose the question in this thread.

everyone is assuming GSPs game plan is to take this to the ground for GNP. well what if he goes to shoot and that knee doesn't feel right and he suddenly doesn't trust it and is forced to keep things standing? GSP has improved on his striking by light years but he it's not like he is world class or has knock out power.

[feijao]

are you kidding me? he has drilled his takedowns daily for the last few months but ALL OF A SUDDEN it will feel weird and he won't trust his knee anymore? he wouldn't be fighting were his knee not at a 100%.

and you know that he has been "drilling his take downs daily for the last few months" how??? you have no idea if the surgery has cause his take downs to feel different or not have enough trust in it. its a different story in camp than it is inside the ring.

so sick of hearing the "he wouldn't take the fight if he wasnt 100% talk" you dont know that shit. the slightest discomfort could be a nuetralizer

[feijao]

yes, of course. gsp will probably roll to the cage in his wheelchair which he hasn't left since his surgery. he will test his knee for the first time in the ring against carlos condit.

[zoo youk]

did i say he'd be a cripple? no but there is absolutely a huge chance he is still has some discomfort

GSP has probably shot for takedowns thousands of times in this camp. Haha. Hilarious post. GSP by pure domination. I think people are underestimating his standup too.

Dude, he wouldn't accept the fight if he had discomfort. You're talking about the smartest, most calculated fighter in the sport.

[zoo youk]

suddenly everyone is a doctor and mind readers on how other peoples bodies feel and the decisions they make based on it. unreal.

[RubberKettle]

Good luck DJ, I would rather be with the total rounds.

Any other plays boys?

[Sykes]

I reckon hes gonna run through him looks like the UFC are already planning for GSP/Silva superfight. (15mins in)

ha yeah, jus throw Anderson in there while he casually looks around a new gym in LA! THey did the same in the Condit/Diaz Primetime...kept referring to GSP/Diaz superfight!

[Vaughany]

"Eyyyy Bocek...you play 'ockeyyy?!!"

[Grabaka]

"Most important thing in life is elt" - GSP

LMAO! He comes out with some classics! Love his accent and broken English!

Well, it's called common sense. GSP already lost the belt because he's been out for so long. He was the reigning WW Champion for years. Do you think after this extremely long lay off he would just rush into something like this if he wasn't 100%? Do you think that GSP just rolled out of a hospital bed and is going to fight Condit tonight? He's gone through EXTENSIVE training, sparring, and preparation for this fight and if there was any problem with his knee don't you think he would have pulled out?

Do you think for 1 second that GSP doesn't have the best doctors watching him with a microscope? Do you think this is GSP's one and only shot to make something out of his career so hes going to just fight through an injury?

The knee will.not be a factor, sir.

[CDMKMP]

He went to the best specialist doctors in the world for his injury, and had more than enough time to recuperate. He's not a cocky/arrogant guy, he said himself he thought about hanging it up and wouldn't come back if he didn't feel completely 100%.

Look at what Adrian Peterson did coming off an ACL injury. It's hardly the death sentence it used to be.

And lol @ the dude who brings up the Serra fight like it means anything. If anything that fight changed GSP's mentality for the better, to never overlook opponents and train his ass off to minimize the chance of fluke shit happening. If you watched the rematch you'd know that first fight was a joke.

[Vaughany]

Jordan Burroughs may be one of the best examples of how you can rebound from a serious injury. He tore his PCL and LCL yet has come back and gone unbeaten and just ran through everybody in wrestling. Obviously he doesn't have to worry about getting kicked in the knee but wrestling on it's own still puts a lot of stress on the knees and he has done just fine!.

[Mantle7]

I agree with CDM. Lol @ the guys bringing Serra into the mix... Coooome on, guys.

If GSP wins and there is a superfight between GSP and Silva I do see Silva losing. Silva did lose to Roy Chonan via Flying Scissor Heel Hook and I could see GSP doing the same thing.

[caveira]

No way he is a lock man...

[Sato]

Guys been out for 18 months. Lock of the century maybe if you think eating shit is a good idea.

[McBa1n]

GSP is one of the most mentally fit fighters in the UFC. there are no "doubts" in his mind. other than Silva the guy is one the greatest of all times.

Oh, I didn't talk up GSP's ability at all -he's amazing. He's a guy that makes me want to watch him fight - he's the guy that got me interested in UFC. No idea how he packs all that muscle in for his weight class. Guy is a freak of nature.

My point was just injuries in pro athletes don't necessarily ruin their careers - but 'trust' in your ability to do what you do is in question. It takes an elite person mentally/physically to do so. GSP is likely that kind of person - however I'm happy with the odds on Condit now to make a play. Will I win? Doubt it. GSP is amazing. He'll be ready to fight. 5 rounds against a strong fighter? Rather play the dog and see how it works out.

[Mantle7]

Condit could have squeezed in a fight before the title fight but chose not to. Condit's been out of the mix for a long time, too.

It's not the lock of the century but I like GSP's chances.

[Mantle7]

No offense to anybody that has bet on Condit but I really hope he gets fukked up tonight for what he pulled in the Diaz fight.

LOL @ him doing Omaplata drills in BJJ class. Yeah, good luck pulling that submission off against GSP. This isnt GSP/Hughes 1. All that stand up work he was doing is going to be pointless.. He should have been focusing on hip escapes and realistic submissions from his back. LOL.. Omaplata. in his fukkn dreams

[CanuckG]

anyone watching the fight now fukkin bloodbath by santos

[FindTheLock]

it's sad that GSP will win by laying in top position

Pro post.
You nailed it. Ah well, did good enough on the undercard to have an ok night.
Wasn't much of a fight, really - outside the 3rd round... Stilll have 0 idea how the judges score fights in UFC, but 1 said GSP won the 3rd, which is a joke, IMO... However, St Pierre is an elite athlete, he won - was a good fight. I was shocked how passive Condit was. WAY too passive standing up... Who does Condit think he is? Jon Jones? c'mon man.

From a striking analysis stand point, Condit was actually quite aggressive. He wasn't rushing in throwing wild hooks, no, but other than his tentative second round, he is arguably the most aggressive striker GSP's ever fought. I understand it may look like he was being passive, but I assure you, he was anything but that. Tactical aggression is something Condit does very well, and he did it expertly tonight.

[CanuckG]

Condit put up a solid fight
