Something needs to be done about having a interim champion.injuries to the REAL CHAMPION of each division happen all the time so if there has to be a fight for the interim championship I think whoever wins the interim belt should face the next contender in line(with adequate time to train obviously)and when the real champion is fit and ready to fight then whoever has the interim belt at the right time has to fight the champ.I don't blame one bit Condit waiting for this one considering how great GSP is but I reckon it isn't fair to the rest of the contenders in line that keep on winning in the meantime and just because of one man out injured they have to wait a very long time for there deserved title shot.
Nobody knows exactly how long GSP is going to be out for,every one including GSP at the moment is just surmising which doesn't make it fair for the likes of Ellenburger,Kampmann and even Condit who has to wait while not bringing any potential fight purses and bonuses for himself.

This makes no sense. If they put the best viable challengers against the interim champ and they lost, then they would have no viable challengers against the champ if he comes back and beats the interim champ. I love the idea but it wouldnt work for UFC on a business level.

Let's imagine that GSP has 3 failed comebacks to fight for his belt and it lingers on to another Rashad situation of 18 months of inactivity.Is it fair in the meantime for Condit and the rest to be possibly waiting upto 2 years for their rightful shot at the belt?

I'm sure that DW would force the issue long before it got to that point.

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.

Wasnt he scheduled to fight Koscheck on the same card that Diaz was going to fight GSP??? Then GSP got hurt and Condit took the fight with Diaz for the interim title? Not sure I remember him opting to not fight Kos but more so opting to fight for the title. Do you remember your history should be the real question.
Everything he said during the Primetime shows still hold water. If he was in it for the money then he would have tried to fight as quickly as possible to make more money off another title fight, but he isnt. He also was willing to rematch Diaz just to prove that he could beat him but then Diaz got busted and the fight was off. Now he is waiting to fight the guy he has wanted to fight this entire time. He has already beat Ellenberger! Why the hell should he want to fight him instead of waiting for GSP???
Oh and FYI, he wasnt gifted a title shot. I think most people felt he deserved to fight GSP before Diaz but Diaz ran his mouth and got the opportunity to come over from SF. Fact is, Condit has taken fights when he didnt want to in the past. Everyone thought he should have taken on GSP, not Diaz. But he stepped back and actually scheduled a fight with Koscheck when he really wanted GSP. Now, he is doing what HE wants not what the UFC or some fans may want. He is taking a little break and waiting for the fight that he has always wanted.
Plain and simple, get over it

If that happens and George isn't ready to fight in October or November like he's hoping then Condit will defend the interim belt against someone else.

no disrespect, but it's not that plain and simple. Putting a title on hold for a year is just ridiculous.

Condit's put his title on hold for a year?
It's been 2 months and at present it looks like he'll be fighting GSP in about 7 months or so. If recovery goes longer, Condit may fight again or they may strip the belt from GSP. Either way, kvetching about belts being on hold seems exceedingly premature.
I knwo that GSP belt has been out a year, but the interim title was created to move things along, so that's why i'm using that as the benchmark...

Sorry for my extreme exaggeration. :roll:
The belt will have been on hold for 10 months, not a year. It's not premature at all. He has stated that he is waiting, and that is the exact moment to start "kvetching".
On a side note, who the hell uses the word kvetching in everyday conversation?

Probably a good word to have in your vocabulary with mma fans.

So Condit gets his SECOND decision in his whole career and gets all this hate for it.....
When the champ (GSP) has the most decisions of all champs and is the most loved in this forum..... :?

Not sure what you've been reading, but GSP catches no end of hell in these forums for his recent string of decisions and perceived "play it safe" strategy.

Will have been...well, when you use a future tense, then there's no way it could be considered premature. (cough, cough)

People who think terms like whining and bitching are too masculine to accurately describe the bellyaching in question.

Anyone else find it odd that fans of a volume puncher(diaz) are giving sh*t to another fighter for "low power" shots?
Diazs whole strategy is accumulating damage via weak shots, condits "baby" leg kicks slowed down diaz and helped his stick n' move strategy.
Perhaps Mr. Diaz should learn some other skills to stop people from "running away".
