Don't see any trouble for Georges with Condit...hell shoot and take him down and pound...it will be along night for Carlos.

Well,he didn't let Diaz anywhere near him,I can't see George having it easy,this guy is pretty slick.Condit will be in and out all night....;)Quote:

Condit's feet are in another league.His hands are good too but he was smart not to trade with Diaz.Not sure if George will ever be considered a good puncher.Condit will be willing to let his hands go more often with Georges.
GSP will have an easy time with him. He does what he needs to do to win a fight. Doesn't matter what the other excels at because GSP will expose his weakness. I think anyone who underestimates his punching ability will get knocked out by way of punch. As Praetorian said , he's in a class all by himself.
Everybody loves GSP but that isn't going to do him any good in the ring.Take a look at the pics of Condit and Diaz in the ring,Condit is the bigger man,with a small waist.George was afraid of Diaz.George has been gunshy since Serra.George will have to close the distance with Condit,and he's very elusive.
George shoots so fast and powerfully and his timing is so good I don't think Condit would be able to prevent the takedown. As long as his injury (ACL?) is fully healed and doesn't slow him down.
Trust me...Condit is good and he beat Diaz because he listened to Greg Jackson and didnt play Diaz's game. Georges on the other hand is a different ballgame...Georges is on a whole different level physically and will pick Condit apart whether its takedowns or striking doesnt matter.

Diaz isn't as good at closing the distance as Georges is. That's why Condit was able to get away so often. GSP doesn't just "walk forward" to get into striking range...he's MUCH more explosive. I'm not saying it's going to be the most exciting fight ever though...lately, Georges has really become a boring fighter (IMO). Winning a fight by using barely more than a jab isn't gonna get my butt off the seat.
