Jon Fitch or Thiago Alves? Carlos Condit wants to fight the lesser of two evils

Fitch-doomed_medium

Props: ESPN.co.uk

Quoteworthy:

"They're both very tough match-ups, they're dangerous fighters and they have a lot of tools. But the better match-up for me would be Jon Fitch. That's not taking anything away from Fitch, it's just the lesser of two evils. They're both killers. Fitch isn't as much of a finisher as Thiago Alves, he's more about grinding his opponent into the ground - literally. With my jiu-jitsu, I could withstand that and do better than a lot of guys have done. Thiago's coming off a long lay-off so we'll see if that has any effect on him. I see Fitch winning it because I think he'll be busier and I see Thiago being a little rusty."

Carlos Condit has his sights set on a couple of the division's top dogs heading into his welterweight clash with Dan Hardy at UFC 120 on Spike TV this October. "The Natural Born Killer" must first arrest "The Outlaw" in London but if he's successful, would prefer to face Jon Fitch rather than Thiago Alves if the opportunity presents itself. Based on the Brazilian's penchant for vicious striking, can anyone blame him? And does a win over Hardy pair him with the loser of Fitch vs. Alves?

I think he's right.

Although Condit is very durable, and I think he could hang against Alves.
A win over Hardy should get him the winner of this fight, not the loser. The winner of that should then get the next titleshot after the Kampmann vs Shields winner..

cause hardy vs alves would be awsome!!! idk who would win….

by nawwolfe on Aug 4, 2010 12:10 PM EDT reply actions  

huge alves fan. Fav fighter so im going to come off as bias but i believe he would domniate hardy. IMO hes got a better arsenal of strikes, some vicious leg kicks and i think if he ever was in danger in the standing dept. hes got the power to take hardy down. I dont believe hardy has that luxury

Well seeing as how he is going to lose to hardy and Fitch is going to get destroyed by Alves; then Condit will take on Fitch which is a better matchup for him. I also woudl love to see Hardy vs Alves as the next #1 contenders match to take on GSP vs Kos winner.

Shogun will have the longest championship reign in the UFC

by manalito on Aug 4, 2010 12:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Fitch takes this. He is too tough of a fighter for a rusty Alves (especially after surgery).

How’s about Condit dont look so far ahead coz the boy’s gonna have his hands full with Desperate Dan Hardy.

by attakdog on Aug 4, 2010 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Thanks Kdog.

Condit is gonna chew up Hardy on the ground and expose Hardy for the half-assed kick boxer that he truly is.

really? I view hardy as a product of the UFC hype machine and not much else.

i like the guy tho, ton of heart and a good personality.

Oh god me too SCSN

Condit’s hardly a-list though.

Stick Hardy in against Alves and his b-level striking would get woedfully exposed.

Obviously he’s in for an anal rapeing if he ever fights Fitch, Kos or Shields too. he’s a chancer who’s career has peaked already (undeservedly) but he’s protected from on high like Bizzzzzbing so like it or not he;s gonna be hanging round like a bad smell for years to come.

who does the winner of this get tho? Paulo T?

If hardy wins probs a rematch with gsp lol

Paulo T seems to make sense. They’ll steer hardy miles clear of anyone remotely dangerous to him.

i know, bro...it was a joke. lol.

A sig/pic bet is where the loser of said bet has to keep a picture and signature of the winners choosing.

My pic is obvious, the sig is the Einstein quote. Whenever you see a sig that is nuts, it is prettysafe to say someone lost a bet. wow, you had been gone for a long time, huh?

usually a week or two.

and it is a picture of my/your choosing. we don’t trade pics.
