On January 1, South Korean Judo fighter Dong Hyun “Stun Gun” Kim defeated Nate Diaz at UFC 125.  In his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, he made a surprising comment.

“My name is Stun Gun,” Kim shouted to the crowd.  “I want GSP!”

GSP is, of course, UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, who is currently on a nine-fight winning streak.  He will next face current Strikeforce welterweight champ Nick Diaz at UFC 137.

Last night, Kim took on Carlos Condit in what was expected to be an epic fight.  All signs pointed to the winner of this bout taking on the winner of St. Pierre vs. Diaz.

About three minutes into the fight, Condit tagged Kim with a flying knee and subsequent punches to score the TKO victory.  If he does indeed fight St. Pierre, the champ will be in for a rude awakening.

Keep in mind, of Condit’s 27 wins, 13 have come via knockout and 13 more have come by submission.  He is four inches taller than St. Pierre and both have equally long reaches.

Combine that with St. Pierre’s reputation for not finishing fights where he has a clear advantage, and it’s perfectly logical that Carlos Condit could take the belt from him.

If this fight actually happens, the oddsmakers in Las Vegas are sure to have a field day.
