George 'RUSH' St. Pierre.
Get your spelling right pal.
GSP said he is going to be on the best shape "ever".... its going to be a tough fight for Condit but if he finds a way to get the Win I wanna see what excuses GSP comes up with.....
Condit is too slow for GSP.
Please whoever wins dont let it be a decision!
On a side note I have a feeling gsp really will be better than before and will take it.
Hendricks vs. Kampann should be a great brawl.
The 170 div. had been cloudy for a year or so with a lot of guys being in the mix and on the verge of a title shot. Whoever wins this fight is definitely entitled and has earned the next shot for the WW belt.
and even when Diaz returns he should still be behind them in the line
Doubtful he will though.
I am looking forward to this card. The UFC is smart having both WW matches scheduled--for insurance. (crosses fingers)
I am curious to see how GSP does--but I don't think he will have any trouble taking Condit down--keeping him down, with Condits excellent sweeps, will be difficult. I am guessing that GSP will be trying very hard for a finish--he wants one, and he knows the fans want one...
I hope Kampmann can manage to avoid getting hit so much--he's tough, but Hendricks could KO him with that left of his--so Martin better have a better defense. As for wrestling--Kampmann is an excellent wrestler and has great submissions--so if it goes to the ground, even though Hendricks has a wrestling pedigree--so does Kampmann.
I am rooting for Kampmann--he can win if he avoids the KO punch.
Hendricks will catapult himself up the rankings if he wins this. Doubt he will though. I think he may get picked apart from the outside by Kampmann with his technical boxing.
Can someone explain GSP's affiliation with Greg Jackson's camp for me? I know him and Condit never trained together so they don't mind fighting each other, but are Winklejohn and Jackson going to be cornering Condit? If so, why?
Not sure about Winkeljohn, but Jackson will not be.
Condit is there more of the time than GSP, but Jackson still considers both his fighters. However, GSP more or less just goes there for gameplanning before fights.
