"I'm always looking for the finish. Georges is very good at winning rounds, at dictating the pace of the fight. I feel like if it goes to a decision, I'd probably be on the losing end of the scorecards."
Carlos Condit will be looking for the finish when he takes on Georges St. Pierre at UFC 137 on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas. Tune into Inside MMA on HDNet to hear more from "The Natural Born Killer" as well as Mark Munoz, Nam Phan and Ed Soares.

Refreshingly honest

I am really tired of Carlos
Making me like him and respect him and all that shit. Pfft.

LOL
That’s exactly what we’re all thinking too. Carlos is easy to like inside and outside the ring! I’m curious how he’ll do, he’s a great scrambler and I want to see if he can get up from under GSP. I can’t see him getting finished unless he makes some mistakes trying to finish the fight himself. This could actually be an exciting fight and the only one in many years of GSP’s that I can remember. I see Condit winning this!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! But now Tito is closing in! lol Maybe not, but I'm so fn happy that he beat Bader! The excuses were really getting to me, but when he wins, we don't hear about them.
agreed
GSP should stop kidding himself and just say " If someone is getting finished in this fight, its me"
I will never abuse the opinion of Cruz Jackson, NO ONE SHOULD SIG BET HIM, The Man Is Too Good. I bow down to him and his superior balls.

If GSP finishes....you win, if not I win
Thats what i was implying, If someones getting finished, its GSP,because we all know he wont finish condit.

I bet nobody else thought that if it went to a decision that GSP would win
Nick Diaz - Undisputed 2011 No-show Champion
Didn't think of it till just now.
Hope you don’t think I am just a follower and can’t think for myself.

Did you just ask me if I have ever heard of sarcasm when I myself was being VERY sarcastic?
Ever heard of Irony? ;-)

Irony?
Is that like the feeling you get before you steam press a dress shirt?
by Starr788 on Oct 13, 2011 6:58 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
No its that feeling you get for 15 mintues when you get Fitched on for a whole fight.

That is great he knows that because
He’ll be trying to finish the fight, not outpoint gsp. The fight should be alot more exciting than gsp’s last 4 fights.

Does that mean GSP's last four opponents weren't trying to finish him?
It's all about the entertainment.
Yes

Carlos "The Natural Born Self Deprecator" Condit
It is a tough pill to swallow though because he’s probably right. But good luck anyways Carlos!
by Nameless on Oct 13, 2011 6:45 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I really hope Condit wins.
He’s an exciting fighter that takes chances and usually stops his opponents in devastating fashion. This is the type of guy I want to see as champion but I do think GSP will decision him too with his wrestling since that’s Condit’s weakness.
Im not one that likes lay n pray...
But it would make for one hell of a 5th round to see Condit turn into the NBK and try his hardest to finish GSP to get the belt.

interesting assessment
and probably pretty spot on
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
I hope Condit plans to come to the fight and actually FIGHT
Not try to survive 5 rounds with the champ like all of GSP’s other opponents he didn’t finish. Fight, Carlos. Take a chance. Don’t turtle up and hope for the 25 minutes to end. Be aggressive and you’ll be finished, try to survive and you’ll lose a decision. Pick your poison.
We're only months away from the triumphant return of the Predator. The MW division will never be the same again.
I like how I don't have to explain things to you jay.
You know what’s what.
I bet if Condit makes it to round 2, he’s gonna start to think that surviving is not such a stupid idea after all and start playing the trap. For those not familiar with hockey, that means fighting like Alves, Hardy, Koscheck and Shields did against GSP. Fighting just live another day, which in my opinion is much worse than fighting for points.
Not only would GSP have finished Diaz, he would have done it much faster than the 7 minutes it took Silva to finish Okami. Ceasar Gracie is a defamation cunt artist and a dishonorable loser.
Fair observation my friend
I’m the first to whine about GSP’s style, but someone’s gotta pull a chael sonnen on this dude, and just go after him.
"Remember men, we are all winners in the eyes of Christ...except for the guy still bleeding on the canvass"
Jay will say anything to make GSP look better.
GSP just can’t finish!!! He’s “so dominate” , but can’t finish anyone! Hardy? Really? Hardy tried to stand with GSP, but was taken down and taken to a decision. Hardy tried to stand with Condit and was KO! GSP could have won a standup fight with Hardy (IMO), but didn’t want to risk getting KO so he didn’t try that approach. It’s as simple as that! Crazy how you think and defend him! Remember how you lost that sig bet to me, but I never bothered to give you a sig? Lets do that again then. If GSP doesn’t finish (just like the other bet) you lose, if he does, I lose. Interested?
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! But now Tito is closing in! lol Maybe not, but I'm so fn happy that he beat Bader! The excuses were really getting to me, but when he wins, we don't hear about them.
I'll take that bet
Are you actually saying that GSP’s opponents aren’t trying to just last the 5 rounds? What did anyone he’s fought do to try to win?
Hardy trying to stand with GSP means nothing. You think Hardy could have stopped GSP if Georges had just let the fight stay standing? What did Hardy do on the ground? Did he attempt any subs or anything? If GSP had have kept it standing, he would have been badly outpointed.
We're only months away from the triumphant return of the Predator. The MW division will never be the same again.
Just 1 time
I’d like to hear a fighter tell the truth about their own intentions to win on points.
GSP: Carlos… ees a tough guy with a lots of powair, so I’m going to take eem down and be on zeee top for dee ole tiime and keep my belt
Please Carlos
Hit him relentlessly until he can only see bloody maple leaves.

when carlos finishes a guy
the guy can claim he just got caught
when gsp decisions a guy they must evaluate there whole mma game
When gsp decisions a guy the judges and refs should re evaluate they're job and methods etc.
If you get knocked the fuck out it probably wasn’t a fluke .
War Carlos

TRUE!
GSP wins bc three guys say so! When you finish a fight you actually WIN the fight and the whole world agrees!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! But now Tito is closing in! lol Maybe not, but I'm so fn happy that he beat Bader! The excuses were really getting to me, but when he wins, we don't hear about them.
One of the coolest things to say about an upcoming fight with gsp.
That being said, I hava feeling gsp is gonna go balls out, absolutely throw caution to the wind and try to get a finish this fight. I like condit alot, and if he won Itwould be cool. Just sayin i think gsp will be lookin for sum redemption by gettin a finish cuz its been way, way overdue..
by dragonassault on Oct 13, 2011 9:33 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
What gives you the impression that GSP has any intention of going for the finish any more than usual?
I haven’t seen anything in his last few fights that shows he’s desperate for a finish.
You mind your own damn business.

A win is a win for GSP! He cares more about the belt and sponsors than what the fans want!

Maybe that is just what I would do if I were in his shoes.
Surely he has to be sick amd tired of not being able to finish. I would really want to prove it to myself if not millions of doubters. If he doesnt, i think he will lose a big percentage of his fanbase and tarnish his legacy as a fighter a bit. He has something to prove again and i think hes aware of this..
by dragonassault on Oct 14, 2011 8:45 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
The method by which his wins came will always be subject to debate
What will not be debatable will be his record. That is what will anchor his legacy as the greatest welterweight fighter to date. After his retirement, and after all the keyboard-critics memories have become foggy, his record will unarguable show his dominance. When all is said and done, his legacy will state that he was a good dude and a winner. My forearms are getting tired now from hanging from his nuts
