UFC 132 Fight Card: Will A Win Put Carlos Condit In Line For A Title Shot?
Bleacher Report’s Andrew Barr:
The UFC’s welterweight division is a mess right now.
Current champion Georges St-Pierre has been so dominant over all of the divisions top contenders that the UFC is having an incredibly hard time finding marketable contenders for him. There are a lot of fighters at welterweight that GSP has not yet faced, the problem is that none of them have looked good enough to make the fans say, “that guy might be able to take St-Pierre out”.
It’s a very hard thing to get fans excited about a title challenger when they’re almost certain he will lose.
Carlos Condit has been working hard lately to prove to the UFC and fans alike that he is ready for Georges.
Condit is riding a three fight win streak, with his most recent win being a first round knock out of Dan Hardy. This is significant because St-Pierre has fought Hardy and defeated him, but was unable to finish the fight.
