Obviously this won't happen, and even if both guys do start out trying to win the fight on the feet I'm sure the mere threat of GSP's takedown ability would play an important role, but just say GSP and Condit agreed to a purely stand-up fight in the Octagon. Who would win? :bbb
GSP has good stand up but because he wrestles people will continue to think less of his chin and his ability to strike. Condit is not good technically though he is very powerful and dynamic.
IMO Condit knock him out. GSP has very good standup skills but the mentality has alot to do with it. Carlos Condit has alot of confidence in his entire striking game including his chin look at how he continuned to attack Jake Ellenberger despite nearly being KTFO a couple of times. I think Condit is a strong puncher and he would land something that rocks GSP and if its strickly standup hes going be able to finish.
Condit. Much more dynamic and powerful. GSP, as of late, appears a feather fist. Probably due to being non-committal. Obviously he ****ed Kos up. But should've done more :deal
Condit is the more dangerous striker. GSP hasn't sparked anyone with his hands since UFC 49 or something whereas Condit is coming off a string of KOs. Condit for the KOD!
I chose GSP. I think Condit can knock him out. However GSP would strike smart and not engage too much. He'd pot shot all night.
Gsp's striking while good is not good enough to beat Condit, but Gsp's wrestling will probably effect condits commitment to his punches, giving Gsp a huge edge. Even still Gsp would be wise to take this one to the ground where condit will be less of a threat. In a straight up striking match I would pick Condit, I would also pick Nick Diaz, Bj Penn, and Thiago Alves to win over Gsp.
The standup i got a feeling that it goes to Condit if they where to stand but i fear that this one will go to the ground
gsp will throw jabs and laughably telegraphed overhand rights that ray charles could see coming. Conduit will be scared to throw anything for fear of being taken down, so GSP wins by a decent jab, superman punch, and HI IM GOING TO THROW A HUGE OVERHAND RIGHT ARE YOU READY? HERE IT COMES IM THROWING IT NOW I JUST THREW IT, ITS IN THE AIR, OMG ITS ARCING DOWN!!!! overhand rights.
