Carlos Condit is picking Georges St-Pierre over Khabib Nurmagomedov in a potential fight.

Nurmagomedov retired from mixed martial arts following his lightweight title defense against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in October.

Although UFC president Dana White will be having a meeting with him soon to entice him out of retirement for one more fight, Nurmagomedov and his camp have made it clear that the only person he would unretire for would be St-Pierre.

It’s a fight Nurmagomedov has wanted for a while and the same can be said for St-Pierre as given where they are right now, it’s a toss-up of a fight.

That said, Condit — who suffered a unanimous decision defeat to St-Pierre in their welterweight title fight back in 2012 — is still picking his old rival to come out on top despite turning 40 later this year.

“I’ll go with Georges,” Condit said in a recent interview (via Middle Easy). “He’s a little bit bigger than most of Khabib’s opponents, and he’s got a more well rounded skillset. Yeah, I’ll go with Georges.”

That seems to be the standard opinion for most as unless St-Pierre has dramatically slowed down, he is still a bigger opponent than Nurmagomedov with arguably superior wrestling as well as some of the best striking in the sport.

That said, “The Eagle” is in his prime with some arguing he has superior grappling than “GSP” which is what makes the contest highly-intriguing.

Of course, for now, all we can do is speculate.

Do you agree with Condit?

Carlos Condit Says ‘A Lot Riding’ On Final Fight Of UFC Contract Against Matt Brown

Carlos Condit’s fight with Matt Brown is a monumental one for the former interim welterweight champion.

Condit takes on Brown in the co-main event of the upcoming UFC Fight Island 7 event taking place this weekend in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

It’s a fight that has been slated multiple times but will finally take place in what will also be Condit’s last fight on his current UFC contract.

Although “The Natural Born Killer” returned to the win column with an impressive unanimous decision win over Court McGee in October, he has still won just once in his last six and at the age of 36, could be at risk of getting cut from the UFC with another loss.

That’s why he believes a lot is riding on this fight.

“I have my mind supremely focused on this fight getting this thing handled,” Condit told reporters (via MMA Junkie). “There’s a lot riding on this fight – a lot of guys getting cut, a lot of people on the chopping block.

“To mention the losing streak, I’ve won one of my last six, so it’s not a great record for my last contract. I’m up for renegotiation, too, so a lot going on in this respect.”

Some may even argue there’s a chance Condit can be cut even if he does come away with the victory. But as far as Condit is concerned, he’s only looking for the finish.

“I want to finish Matt Brown,” Condit added. “It doesn’t matter (how). I’m going to (expletive) up Matt Brown.”

Do you think Condit will get cut from the UFC regardless of what happens? Or would a win get him a new contract?

A clash of welterweight division veteran’s, ‘The Immortal’ Matt Brown, and ‘The Natural Born Killer’ Carlos Condit is currently in the works for a UFC Fight Night event on January 30 – with a location or venue for the event yet to be determined by the promotion.

Recently snapping a five-fight, four-year run without a victory, former interim UFC welterweight champion and WEC 170-pound best, Condit featured at UFC Fight Island 4 in October, securing a unanimous decision win over Court McGee over three-rounds. Following the victory, Condit expressed his interest in finally throwing down with fellow mainstay, Brown next.

Dropping his first loss after a two-fight rise, Ohio native, Brown dropped a second-round knockout defeat to upstart, Miguel Baeza at UFC Fight Night Jacksonville in May. MMA Fighting reporter, Damon Martin was first to report the news of the intriguing, targeted clash of the fan-favourites. 

Albuquerque native, Condit is set to make his stunning eighteenth Octagon appearance since his arrival from the now-defunct WEC promotion during the company merger back in April of 2009. 

The Jackson-Wink MMA mainstay is revered as one of the most poised and popular strikers in the promotion’s history, scoring a notable fifteen separate knockout and thirteen submission wins over his eighteen-year professional career.

Condit, 36, has notched highlight career triumphs over the likes of Frank Trigg, John Alessio, Hiromitsu Miura, Jake Ellenberger, Rory MacDonald, Dan Hardy, Nick Diaz, Martin Kampmann, and Thiago Alves. 

Brown, another renowned striker has himself managed an eye-catching fourteen separate knockout victories since his professional bow back in 2005. 

The Ultimate Fighter 7 feature has established a 15-11 promotional record, and a résumé which is littered with noteworthy names such as Douglas Lima, Pete Sell, Stephen Thompson, Mike Swick, Jordan Mein, Mike Pyle, Erick Silva, Tim Means, Diego Sanchez, and Ben Saunders. 

Condit and Brown were scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night Sacramento in 2013, with Brown forced from the tie due to a back injury, before the pairing was rescheduled for a UFC Fight Night Glendale event back in 2018, with Condit instead matching with Alex Oliveira on short-notice after Brown had suffered a torn ACL.
