A few notes:

-GSP believes he will finish Carlos Condit, and says it with the conviction of a man who’s last 4 fights have gone to decision (In related news, Condit has already stated that if he doesn’t finish GSP he will likely lose the decision).

-Nick Diaz and B.J. Penn have some kick-ass highlight reels.

–As we’ve mentioned, Penn seems to have a new fire lit beneath him, even saying he’s yet to reach his potential. This is great to hear, especially considering the man considered retiring after his UFC 127 draw with Jon Fitch.

-Nick Diaz “I can beat B.J. Penn.” Hey, at least he showed up to the interview.

-Mitrione believes his chin combined with his pressure and punching power will lead him to victory over Cheick Kongo. Just so you know Matt, Cheick has a pretty decent chin of his own.

UFC 137 Video: BJ Penn vs. Carlos Condit Hype Trailer, by ‘NicktheFace’

With four consecutive wins including back-to-back first-round knockouts of Dan Hardy and Dong Hyun Kim, Carlos Condit is one of the hottest contenders in the UFC welterweight division. But to be a legend, he’ll have to start beating legends. The Natural Born Killer will get an opportunity to do just that at UFC 137: St. Pierre vs. Diaz (October 29th, Las Vegas), where he’ll face former lightweight/welterweight champ BJ Penn in the co-main event. With just one victory in his last four fights, Penn needs to make a statement against the young up-and-comer to prove that he’s not ready to be put out to pasture just yet.

But forget about what this fight “means.” These are two guys who go for the finish every minute of every round, and Penn vs. Condit is guaranteed to be a thriller. As the video reminds us, 96.3% of Condit’s wins come by stoppage — and Penn has still yet to be knocked down, despite a 10 year career that saw him fight across four different weight divisions. That’s kind of insane. Condit is currently a slight favorite with the oddsmakers. Sound about right to you?
