Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has kicked its promotion for UFC 154: "St. Pierre vs. Condit" into high gear with the second episode of "Primetime" airing last night (Nov. 9) on the FX channel.
And it was a lot like episode one.
That's because there's only so deep the cameras can dig into the lives of Welterweight Champions Georges St. Pierre and Carlos Condit, who are busy in the training rooms preparing their bodies for war on Sat., Nov. 17, 2012, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The storyline remains largely the same. "Rush" has a surgically repaired knee and he's climbing inside the cage against "The Natural Born Killer" in what amounts to the worst possible match-up as his first test after the injury. Still, his team is getting him properly prepared for the challenges by bringing in some of the best Muay Thai practitioners in the world.
Condit is simply doing what he's always done, putting in the work to challenge himself against the very best out there. Is he up for it? We'll find out soon enough.
