UFC 195 Preview

The UFC has released two fights for us via YouTube to get us hyped for the upcoming UFC 195 showdown in Las Vegas.  The main event features a showdown between two fan favorite fighters.  Carlos Condit challenges Robbie Lawler for his UFC Welterweight Championship on January 2, 2016.

The challenger, Carlos Condit, is not a stranger to championship gold, as he is a former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion and former WEC Welterweight Champion.  Condit defended his WEC title in three battles before jumping over to the UFC to face greater competition.  He would eventually work his way to an interim title shot and eventual clash with then champion, Georges St. Pierre.

Robbie Lawler is a UFC veteran that most early fans of the sport remember for his wild, yet effective striking and knockout power from the early years of the UFC.  Lawler would eventually part ways with the UFC in 2004.  He would go on to fight for Elite XC as well as Strikeforce (at 185lbs) before returning to the UFC in 2013.  Lawler got a chance to fight for the vacant UFC Welterweight title in 2014 against Johnny Hendricks after Georges St. Pierre stepped away from competition.  Lawler would lose the bout to Hendricks, but eventually get a rematch with Hendricks and earn the victory the second time around.

Both men have evolved tremendously over the years, but one could argue that Lawler has had the greatest evolution in MMA that we have ever seen.  Both men are warriors and don't back down from a fight.  Both men a well rounded and possess the ability to finish a fight.  MMA fans, we are in for a treat!  Not to mention - Andre Arlovski vs. Stipe Miocic.  Enjoy the fights!

UFC171: Countdown to UFC 171

Below are the two major portions from the UFC's Countdown to UFC 171.  The event features a battle of two great knockout artists Robbie Lawler and Johny Hendricks clashing for the vacant UFC Welterweight Championship.  Also in the co-main event, Carlos Condit faces rapidly rising star Tyron Woodley.  With a win, Carlos Condit has been guaranteed a title shot.

Woodley Gets Fight w/ Condit

After UFC President, Dana White, stated that they were still seeking another opponent for Carlos Condit, the organizarion has found that man.  Dana White and the UFC have decided to put Tyron Woodley in the cage opposite Condit.  Woodley had been begging White for a fight with Condit and Dana White said that that fight would not happen and that both men would be facing other opponents. The fight will be added to the same card as the fight for the vacant UFC Welterweight title in Dallas at UFC new 171.

Diaz Turns Down Condit Rematch

It has been reported that UFC President, Dana White, has offered a fight that one would assume that Diaz could not refuse, but he did.  Back at UFC 143 in February 2012, the UFC decided to put together a Welterweight fight for the Interim UFC Welterweight Championship in Georges St-Pierre's absence due to injury.

Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit were placed in opposite sides of the Octagon to fight for this title.  Carlos Condit easily out-scored Diaz in a five round MMA fight that was simply a kick boxing fight inside of a cage.  There was not a moment that one of them was truly in danger of the other, but it was inarguably a win for Condit.  Full fight link here courtesy of Carlos Condit's YouTube Channel.  If you watched the fight already then you know that this was one of Diaz's first retirements after he felt that he won the fight.  Any man in their right mind would want to avenge a loss that they felt that they had won, but not Nick Diaz folks.  Diaz was offered a rematch against Condit at UFC 171, but Nick Diaz declined to take the fight.

I think that if this fight were to occur a second time in their current states that it would be another Condit victory, but with a more aggressive Condit than before.  What are your thoughts on the rematch if it were to occur?

Dana Shoots Down Woodley's Condit Request

Dana White has revealed that Tyron Woodley has begged Dana White to give him a fight with Carlos Condit.  Dana has stated that Woodley has been constantly texting Dana White to give him a fight with Carlos Condit.  Dana doesn't feel that Woodley is quite ready for a shot with the #2 Welterweight in the UFC.  White has stated that Woodley will very likely get a different UFC vet instead of Condit.

I agree with White that maybe Woodley hasn't quite earned a shot at Condit, but I think that it would be an awesome fight for the fans.  I think Woodley could be a dangerous opponent for Condit early in the fight, but after the first round of the fight, Condit's cardio would prove too much for Woodley.  Condit was able to survive a barrage of punches from Johny Hendricks in their fight at UFC 158.  I think that Condit would earn a decision victory over Woodley or a TKO in the late rounds of the fight.

UFC on Fox 9: Injury Takes Brown out of Condit Fight

UFC Welterweight Matt Brown was scheduled to face former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion, Carlos Condit on December 14th in what could of been a title eliminating fight, but a back injury has removed "the Immortal" from his fight.  The UFC has decided not to long for a new opponent for Carlos Condit and will look to reschedule the fight for another time.

UFC on Fox 9 Staredown Pics

Below are the staredown pictures from today featuring headliners Anthony Pettis, Josh Thomson, Carlos Condit and Matt Brown:

Condit vs. Brown Booked for UFC on FOX 9

After a victory over Marting "The Hitman" Kampmann, Carlos Condit expressed an interest in facing rising welterweight contender, Matt Brown.  Now Condit will get his wish as he and Matt Brown have been scheduled to compete against each other at UFC on Fox 9.

In my opinion both men are a win or two away from facing Georges St. Pierre and what better way to help decide a next challenger than to put two of the best against each other to prove that they are ready.  Though I'd like to see how well Matt Brown's notion that he could out-wrestle St. Pierre would actually work out, I feel that the Condit-St. Pierre rematch would be more entertaining than Brown colliding with the titan known as St. Pierre.

Condit Interested in Fight With Matt Brown

"The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit has recently expressed interest in fighting Matt Brown who is currently running through the welterweight division like a train.  Former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion, Carlos Condit, is coming off of a TKO victory over Martin Kampmann in their rematch from last month at UFC Fight Night 27.

Condit sees the opportunity as a way to get back into title contention by taking out a man who is practically knocking on the door of a title fight.  Condit says that the fight would be a war and he likes fighting other competitors that are willing to stand and trade with him.

I think that this fight would be an awesome fight between two exciting fighters who would put on a definite show for the fans.  Both men have the ability to end fights in devastating fashion.  If the fight were to occur it would be Matt Brown's toughest challenge to date.  I think that this would be a match that I would love to see and I'm sure any fight fan who knows what these men are capable of would like to see.  I would give the edge to Carlos Condit if these two men were to fight.

UFC Fight Night 27 Delivers

Last night's Fox Sports 1 event was a successful event that included lots of entertaining fights.  There was knockouts, submissions and close decisions all packed into one amazing event.  Carlos Condit was able to rise up last night and put on an amazing performance that earned he and Kampmann Fight of the Night honors.  Carlos Condit proved that his climb to the top was no fluke.  Condit was coming off of a two fight losing streak against top competition including a fight with the UFC Welterweight Champion, Georges St. Pierre and St. Pierre's UFC 167 opponent, Johnny Hendricks.  I think that Condit is now 1 or 2 wins away from a title shot.  Condit survived the early takedowns of Kampmann in the first round to go on and win rounds 2 and 3 and finish Kampmann in the fourth by TKO due to strikes.

Rafael Dos Anjos also made a statement in his fight with Donald Cerrone.  Dos Anjos was able to keep the pressure on Cerrone in their bout in which he earned a decision victory and moves up the ranks in the UFC Lightweight Division.  Cerrone had no answer for the striking attack that dos Anjos used to keep Cerrone from getting comfortable.  Cerrone wasn't able to find his rhythm until the third round in which he was finally able to open up with an effective strike game which featured his devastating leg kicks that made dos Anjos lose his footing early in the round.  Though Cerrone was able to put off a great third round, it just proved to be too late in the fight to pull off a win.  Dos Anjos made a real name for himself in the Lightweight division with his win over Donald Cerrone.  This was dos Anjos fifth straight victory in the UFC.

Recent Ultimate Fighter winner Kelvin Gastelum came into last night's event with a win over hyped up opponent Uriah Hall into his welterweight debut over Brian Melancon.  Gastelum came into the fight looking to be in amazing shape and looked calm and confident as he was going into an important fight in his post-TUF UFC career.  Gastelum was able to out-strike the powerful striker Melancon.  Melancon was rocked and dropped by a series of punches thrown by Gastelum.  Instead of continuing with strikes on the ground, Gastelum quickly took Melancon's back and secured a rear naked choke to earn the submission victory in the first round, winning his welterweight debut.

Another Ultimate Fighter winner was able to pull off a victory in their fight last night and that man was the talented Court McGee.  Court McGee was able to outstrike and overpressure Brian Whittaker last night handing Whittaker his first loss in the UFC.  The win came via split decision in which the judges scored the bout 30-27,27-30, 29-28 for Court McGee.

Takeya Mizugaki also put on a show for the fans with Erik Perez as the put on a complete mixed-martial-arts fight that had a perfect balance of striking and grappling that was delightful to watch and possibly my favorite fight from last night.  The fight was decided via split decision but I felt it was clear enough that Mizugaki had earned a unanimous decision but the judges thought otherwise.  This was Takeya's third straight victory in the UFC.

I would rate this event 8/10 as it was an amazing event that completely delivered while other UFC events have disappointed.

Ready for the Happy Days to Begin

After a mediocre event this fight weekend, I must say that I'm ready to see if the coming Fox Sports 1 cards are going to deliver upon the hype.  I really believe that they can  but more importantly I believe that they have to.  The last two UFC events (UFC on FOX 8 & UFC 168) have not lived up to their potentials.  As I posted earlier this week. The Bellator 97 event that aired on Spike in my opinion had more engaging events than this past weekend which shared the same week as a UFC Pay-Per-View.  Exceptions to the mediocre label would be Demetrious Johnson's performance over John Moraga.  That fight was my favorite of the Fox event.  Sergio Moraes and Amanda Nunes also put on excellent performances at the most recent UFC 168 event.  I think that the Fox Sports cards are put together well and have the potential to be HUGE.  I just hope that the same hype that I've had for fights such as MacDonald/Ellenberger, Machida/Davis & Aldo/Jung isn't crumbled by dull performances.  The fight that I'm most anticipating is the bout between Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann.  I feel that it is a very important fight for both men, especially Condit.  Condit really needs a win over Kampmann to solidify that he is still a top contender in the Welterweight division.  His last two performances were great but not enough to pull off a victory.  I think that both of the top contenders need a very impressive win to get back in the title picture.
