LAS VEGAS – On Wednesday afternoon, UFC welterweight contender Carlos
Condit was sitting alone, eating lunch and
contemplating his upcoming bout with B.J. Penn while looking to refuel
for his second practice of the day.
Then the phone rang.
In a flash, Condit suddenly was thrust
into a UFC 137 title shot against teammate and champion Georges
St-Pierre. For Condit, it was a moment he had been
anticipating for years.
