I think if GSP was a natural 185er and Anderson was a 170lbs, the finish ratio would similar if they fought the same guys
Fair point. Still, I don't see him finishing Condit. That would be a big surprise, and also a statement on GSP's part. Looking forward to it in any case!
GSP needed a tuneup fight so its hard to say what will happen. It will be a good opportunity for condit to press and see if GSP buckles, gases or steps back. I will punt right now that condit will not take gsp easy and will be moving and circling a lot and probably avoid takedown and wrestling. Who knows though, it will be a tough challenge for Gsp and a KO is very unlikely
GSP no longer has the raw killer instict present in other champions such as, for example, Shinya Aoki, however, I do thing that Condit has some weaknesses on the ground which could lead to sub inside 5 for GSP.
Just cuz Aoki has lost a few times doesnt mean he doesnt have any killer instinct. On an unserious note i still laugh at that pic
Can anyone lend me in about CC's TDD? I mean, I know the guy can **** up anyone standing up, but I've had nary an idea how he fares against guys who's looking to take it to the ground. GSP has a powerful double leg.
I believe Rory M had him on his back, but I've only seen that fight once. CC has as many wins by submission as he does by punching someone out.
I don't like the fact that GSP mentioned wanting to quit several times during the recent Primetime episode. I think the big X factor in this fight is how is the layoff going to affect GSP? You can't come into the ring under a layer of ringrust against a guy like Carlos Condit.
