Condit comes into UFC 154 looking to become the undisputed UFC Welterweight Champion. He has a 28-5 record and is on a five fight winning streak.
Condit didn’t come over to the UFC until a year after GSP started his current reign as king of the 170 pound division.
The ad also states that if elected…if he wins the championship, he will be known for three things: “knockouts, knockouts [and] shorts” (obviously a shot at GSP‘s usual spandex ring attire).
Condit‘s track record speaks for itself, as he has knocked out three of his last four opponents, those being Rory MacDonald, Dan Hardy and Kim Dong-Hyun.
St. Pierre is known for the ground game, so Condit will have to use everything he knows from training with GSP so he can be ready to block take down attempts. That way, he keeps the fight standing up, away from his opponent’s greatest strength.
Condit will do his best to “stand” for everything he believes in and is hoping to get your support as he tries to secure your votes…secure a victory and claim the belt.

We all know Georges St. Pierre and Carlos Condit have trained together in the past and will face each other for the undisputed UFC Welterweight championship on November 17 at UFC 154.
Both have claim to a piece of welterweight gold, and only one will walk out champion, but who will it be?
GSP has an impressive 22-2 record, including six-straight title defenses over such names as B.J. Penn, Josh Koscheck, Jake Shields, Dan Hardy, ThiagoAlves and Jon Fitch.
“Condit has no title defenses, a controversial victory over Nick Diaz and his stance on foreign policy,” says this hilarious video.
St. Pierre hasn’t lost a fight in over five years, dating back to Matt Serra’s upset victory at UFC 69.
He dresses in suits, deals with the public well and is a name known worldwide.
GSP is a dynamic fighter, whose stance on fighting is to get to the ground and utilize his jiu-jitsu game for a submission.
GSP is no secret to having the interim title, but publicly said that it wasn’t the real thing. He grabbed “the real thing” at UFC 83 in his native Montreal, Quebec in April 2008.
Now, he is in the role of having a disputed world championship to defend.
GSP wants your votes for UFC Welterweight Champion. Will you give him his support in the upcoming election?
Wait, I mean fight. Sorry, the video is getting me in the spirit to cast my vote…and I’m Canadian!
Anyway, will GSP emerge as champion? What do you think?

Long gone are the days of fighters having “Condom Depot” splayed across their butt. Now, companies like Head and Shoulders, Under Armour, Nike and Coca-Cola are cutting big checks to have MMA’s finest plug their merchandise. This rolls over into commercials as well, with fighters popping up more and more in the middle of your favorite shows.
Naturally, if there are more than two sports-related things, we here at Bleacher Report will rank them in a list-based article for you to casually browse through.
So, what are the best MMA-related commercials of all time? Find out here!

UFC 152 will come to your television screen live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Saturday evening.
The event kicks off with three fights for free on Facebook, and then moves to FX for four more preliminary fights. The five-fight PPV telecast will begin promptly at 10 p.m. ET and is headlined by two championship bouts.
Jon Jones defends his UFC Light Heavyweight Championship against VitorBelfort, and Demetrious Johnson squares off against Joseph Benavidez in the first ever UFC Flyweight Championship fight.
After you make your predictions and settle in for the event, make sure to have a few cold ones ready for the fights and play along with the UFC 152 drinking game. That is, of course, if you are of legal drinking age.
Drink one…each time Mike Goldberg is not back to the mic in time after taking a bathroom break. This is a Joe Rogan-created rule. When Rogan takes over duties when a fighter is walking to the cage it means that Goldberg has not returned from the bathroom.
Drink one…for each knockout and submission on the card.
Drink one…when a fighter has brazenly put his own face on his banner. It is a disturbing trend that needs to end.
Drink one…every time you hear “he’s rocked”.
Drink one…each time Walel Watson’s height is discussed. At 5’11”, he is one of the tallest in the Bantamweight division, and they like to make sure the fans know that just in case they are blind.
Drink one…for the missing “m” in JimyHettes name. Seriously, where did it go?
Finish your drink…if Sean Sherk is mentioned during the Evan Dunham fight. Because we should all continue to try and forget the judging injustice that occurred at UFC 119.
Finish your drink before the pay-per-view broadcast begins…
Drink one…for Matt Hamill’s choice of entrance music.
Finish your drink…salute the Old Glory, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance if Brain Stann defeats Michael Bisping. It is the patriotic thing to do.
Drink one…and yell “Oil Can Harry!” every time they refer to Demetrious Johnson as Mighty Mouse.
Drink one…every time Team Alpha Male is referenced. Because you too are an alpha male (or female).
Drink one…for every mention of God between Jones and Belfort. You should probably start praying right now.
Pour one out…in remembrance of UFC 151. The show that Jon Jones and Greg Jackson killed.
Finish your drink…order another, finish it, and call a cab if Jones’ eyelid gets cut by Belfort‘s glove.
This is only a game. Please remember to drink responsibility and enjoy the fights.

Tomorrow’s long-awaited clash between Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in Las Vegas promises to be one of the biggest events in UFC history. If Dana White is to be believed, it’s one of the biggest sporting events in this Olympic year.
It all goes down at the MGM Grand at 10 p.m. ET, live on pay-per-view.
Hopefully, by the time the Silva-Sonnen main event goes down, you’ll already be pretty drunk. So to finish you off, whether you’re enjoying the proceedings over pizza at Larry’s house or your favourite downtown sports bar, here’s a drinking game that’s fun for all the family!
NB: Before we start, you will need ready access to a bottle of cachaca (or any other Brazilian rum, such as Sagatiba—you can substitute with normal rum if you have to) and a bottle of whiskey, preferably American bourbon (we’re running a Brazil vs. U.S. theme).
Rule 1
MMA is replete with personal rivalries and deep-seated animosity between combatants. But the truly personal, venomous nature of the Silva-Sonnen rivalry sets it apart from anything we’ve seen before in the Octagon.
It’s almost unthinkable that the fighters will touch gloves before the match starts.
If they do, chug your beer and follow it up with a shot of cachaca and a shot of whiskey. If Silva bows as he backs up to his corner, take another shot of cachaca.
Rule 2
All bets are that Sonnen will stick to the game plan that almost landed him the belt in their first encounter. So expect plenty of takedowns or at least takedown attempts.
For every Sonnen takedown attempt, whether it’s a shot or from the clinch, chug your beer.
Rule 3
Following on from the second rule, every time Sonnen lands a takedown, finish chugging your beer, and down a shot of whiskey.
Rule 4
Silva fans are hoping the Brazilian will be better prepared against Sonnen this time and that he won’t be rag-dolled like he was in the first encounter. They also hope for a fully functioning rib that will help in stuffing any one of Sonnen’s takedowns.
Every time Silva stuffs a takedown, finish chugging your beer as per rule 2, and take a shot of cachaca.
Rule 5
Sonnen is one of the rare wrestlers to have had success against Silva because he’s not afraid to fight in the pocket. Expect a flurry of power shots from both fighters landing on target.
Every time that happens and either Joe Rogan or Mike Goldberg shout, “He looks rocked!” or “That rocked him!”—or when they declare either fighter to be “rocked”—take a shot of cachaca if Silva lands the strike or whiskey if it’s Sonnen.
Rule 6
And following on from the fifth rule, it’s highly likely that one or both fighters will score a “knockdown” at some point in the match from a strike. This requires either fighter hitting the canvas on his ass at any point of the match.
So whether it’s a “knockdown” or a “knockout,” take two shots of cachaca for a Silva knockdown, or two shots of whiskey for a Sonnen knockdown.
Rule 7
The last fight ended with Silva’s planting a triangle arm bar on Sonnen and forcing him to tap. There’s a high chance that if the fight goes to the ground, Silva will bring out his jiu-jitsu and end Sonnen’s night exactly the same way.
So if the Brazilian gets the submission, take two shots of cachaca—or two shots of whiskey, if it’s Sonnen.
Rule 8
Their first encounter was minutes away from a decision, which would have likely gone Sonnen’s way. There’s every chance that this will happen again.
The eighth rule is that if the decision is unanimous in favour of Silva, down two shots of cachaca. If Sonnen gets the unanimous decision, take two shots of whiskey.
If it’s a split decision in Silva’s favour, that’s just one shot of the Brazilian rum. If Sonnen gets the split decision victory, down a shot of whiskey.
And that’s it, eight simple rules by which to get drunk on Saturday night.

Think of this as a “reboot,” to borrow a Hollywood term. I’ve currently done this list two times: one in article form, another in audio form. But the thing about it is: the fighters keep changing, and the zombies keep coming back. They’re zombies; they do that. So allow me to present to you another look into an apocalyptic future filled with fighters: here’s a revised list of the top five fighters most likely to survive a zombie apocalypse.
5. Ben Askren
Think about it: have you ever seen a Ben Askren fight? You think you did, but you can’t remember. Either you were so bored that you became a zombie yourself, or you fell asleep moments into the fight.
And that’s Askren’s greatest weapon: the ability to be 100 percent forgettable. Roaming marauders will leave him alone because they won’t remember ever meeting him. Even zombies will become so bored with him that eventually they’ll just shamble away mindlessly. Ben Askren would be an invaluable tool to any fledgling post-outbreak society… so long as they remember they have him, which may be a tougher challenge than even the zombie menace.
4. Rousimar Palhares
On an average day, Paul Harris has to struggle to contain the demon within himself. Thrust into a zombie apocalypse, Palhares could let go of his inhibitions and transform into the savior that humanity needs but doesn’t deserve.
Imagine a world where zombies can’t hurt you anymore because all their heels have been torn to shreds and all they can do is crawl weakly towards you on the floor like slimes, practically serving themselves up on a silver platter. Just don’t get caught in the middle of a Paul Harris Heel Hook Feeding Frenzy, or he may accidentally tear your heel apart as well.
And then you’re zombie food.
3. Benson Henderson
Throughout his run in the WEC and especially in the UFC, Benson Henderson always seems to find a way to win. The loss to Anthony Pettis aside, Henderson’s resiliency and ability to thrive under pressure makes him a natural leader in almost any group. He’ll make the tough choices, and he’ll give your team the motivation they need when the going gets tough.
Unless we’re in one of those movies where the zombies have superpowers (95 percent of those movies suck, by the way) and are able to leap off of things and kick people in the face, Henderson should be able to pull you and your team through any situation.
2. Dan Henderson
Much like Randy Couture (who has also been featured on this list), Dan Henderson is the perfect example of the grizzled, war-torn veteran that could lead a community, or become the No. 1 protector of the community, or even maybe both.
He’s experienced enough to know how a plan needs to go down and wise enough to keep the community in check and not at each other’s throats. And if all else fails, all it takes is one “H-Bomb” right into a zombie’s jaw to send that zombie’s head flying.
In a zombie apocalypse, Jon Jones would literally be “The Chosen One.” He’s done so many amazing things in such a short time that it wouldn’t surprise me if it was revealed post-outbreak that Jones was somehow immune to becoming a zombie.
I see Jon Jones as a mixture of Will Smith in “I Am Legend” and Denzel Washington in “The Book of Eli”: a roaming badass that could chop you in half but seemingly can’t be hurt, and even if he’s hurt he’s completely immune to any zombie bites. Jones would probably become a softly-whispered often-rumored urban legend, but there’s no doubt that he’d survive a zombie apocalypse.
Carlos Condit is asking for some change…at least in this new hilarious video campaign posted by the UFC’s YouTube page.
