UFC 154 is just around the corner and will mark the return of welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre after a long layoff with a knee injury. St-Pierre was out for over a year, and someone had to keep the belt warm while he was away.
Carlos Condit defeated Nick Diaz to earn the honor of interim title holder, and he will now get his chance to make it real by defeating St-Pierre on November 17th. Make no mistake, Condit is top of the food chain in the division and will give GSP all he can handle in his return.
Both of these men have been competing in MMA for years and at the very top wherever they were fighting throughout their careers. It seemed inevitable that these two would be on a path to clash at some point or another, and let’s take a comparative look at the career timelines of the two best welterweights in the world.
