*Video* possible insight to why Condit will wait for GSP
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
This is stupid and immature. If I were going to fight GSP, the P4P #2 or 3 fighter in the world/all time (possibly), I would want as much time as possible to prepare. And it would be stupid for him to take a fight between it if it's guaranteed that he'll fight Georges - it's a bigger money fight guaranteed, plus more coverage, and a bigger opportunity. You gotta think that this guy has a family to support, and the right thing to do is what's best for your family, not act on your pride. It's easy to sit here on a forum and say he's scared, but what would you do in his situation?

No one made him talk all that nonsense before the Diaz fight so he can deal with the fallout. For a guy that said he will let his fighting do the talking he never shut up.

outstriking a guy everyone throught was going to beat him was more then enough seriously he beat diaz soundly hate to tell you but walking foreward running your mouth doesnt get you points on the other hand getting punched and kicked over and over wins fight walking foreward is not 100% octagon control imo the fight took place where condit wanted it to at distance where he could pick nick apart

This video is not about Nick and UFC 143. This is about the "warrior" that will not fight anyone in the cage or out. He opted out of fighting Kos at 137 and then did what he did in 143 and now wants to sit out with a belt for 10 months. Maybe this is your idea of a champ, but others have worked just as hard as he has and he is just sitting out of the game. I dont see how this can really be respected of someone claiming to be all those things he said in the primetime shows and then just sit it out like this.

Those fights were made because Condit is sitting out. He should have taken a rematch with Jake. I guess you like your champions sitting it out on the sidelines. I did not make the video, but I agree with it.

You dont know your history do you? Condit was gifted a shot when Diaz missed 2 press conferences. He was never first in line for GSP. Condit was always the backup plan not the primary one. Condit sat out of 137 and Diaz fought and earned his shot again at GSP. If you are going to talk about a subject try knowing something about it.
I guess you dont think Condit will win either. I agree with you. Why not play it safe again and not fight and then get beat with a 50-45 UD by GSP and he will be done anyway.
gifted a shot my *** won his last 3 fights by ko or tko hate to tell you diaz bing stupid and ditching 2 pressers is a good reason for striping him of a shot you talk about people not knowing their info sounds more or less like you have no clue and as to you're last comment i believe condit has the tools to beat gsp and i think he will he wasnt playing it safe againt nick he gameplanned and refused to sit in the pocket like most fighters are foolish enough to0 do against him

Then Condit went ahead and beat Diaz....
Guess what, I still think that Condit loves to fight, but right now he's got a shot at the belt. Does that not change anything? I don't see anything wrong with him waiting around provided GSP will be back in a reasonable amount of time.
Don't get me wrong, I have huge respect for guys that decide they don't want to sit on the shelf, but it's a big risk. Look what happened to Pettis. And while I have respect for a guy that's willing, that doesn't turn into disrespect when he decides he wants to wait for the shot that he's been given.
One last closing remark. When Condit says he let's his fighting do the talking in the video I'm pretty sure it's in the context of him not talking trash, so I don't really see how that's relevant.
Just my thoughts.
IMO the UFC should of made him have another fight before the winner faced GSP,they tried to do it with Diaz cos their fight wasn't a convincing win before the failed drug test and fair play has to go out for Condit for instantly agreeing for the rematch but he says he has to think about his family,well say he faces GSP and he's not ready till early next year that's at least 2 fight purses he misses out on and as a supposed champion, he should,after him face the next contender
Like I mentioned before I dont think that Carlos is scared,why would he be if he's facing the best welterweight in the world and Diaz but mma fans will start to question him even more for not facing anyone and the same mma fans will have more respect for people like Pettis and the iceman who were willing to put their number 1 contender spot on the line,win or lose cos they wanted to fight and be active.

Yep.
The sustained criticism he's received after the Diaz fight has just been so petty, he won, get over it.

I 100000% Agree. This is so retarded.
The fact is this division is stacked but the top of the heap needs to seperate themselves out a little bit and this will give them a chance. It seems like the top 7 ww could all compete for a title.
lol just more mma fans crying...........that is all i'm seeing with this video.........probably a pissed off Diaz fan
Condit was all ready to fight Diaz in a rematch till diaz got scared homie.
can't blame a guy for wanting to not risk getting hurt and possibility missing out on his shot.

Finally someone that gets the point.
Sure Condit has had some good and tough fights in the UFC. His fight against Rory was in a way his best in the UFC. He was clearly losing that fight 2 rounds to none and he was able to come back in the third to finish the fight. I find it very funny that fight fans would back a fighter sitting out for almost a year especially after how much he ran his mouth off for weeks about how he loved to fight and how he would do it for free.
He turned down the Kos fight and he turned down Jake or whoever they put in front of him. Not the makings of a true champ, but maybe that is how this sport is going these days.
People always try to make Condit fighting again about Diaz. Maybe if he were to man up and act like a champ and fight someone in the next 10 months he could shut some people up, but he wont. He wants to play it safe. Fine, but he needs to shut his mouth on being a warrior and stop hyping fights and making himself look rediculous to those who actually expect fighters to I dont know FIGHT
