When it comes to knee ligament tears, it seems to take at least a full year to recover. Can't rule out the possibility that GSP has a set back, especially once he enters full training camp. I still think Georges is RUSHing back too fast.

Belt meant nothing to start with anyway IMO.

Ya the GSP coming back likely to be off a little, but GSP doesn't like to take chances. So I see it going some time this fall GSP postponing his return and if he doesn't reinjury it not return until 2013 maybe late too.

He's the champ now, not the intern champ, that is some bullshit. If the champ hasn't fought in a year, he's just not the champ anymore, it's that simple.

He doesn't appear that he is a fighting champion. Just like many fighters, it looks like he is happy with his position, ranking, etc. and doesn't want to take any chances of tarnishing it with a loss. To me, that's not a champion. A champion believes they are the absolute best in the world and can beat anyone anytime. He's not the best and he knows it.

With Diaz would have won, he would have taken fights.

For me, if Condit doesn't fight in a year, he isn't the champ either so Condit vs. GSP shouldn't be for any belt.

How shitty would it be if we waited all this time for Condit/GSP, and GSP re-injures his knee a couple weeks before the fight? Or Condit gets injured?

And the whole time we missed out on a bad ass fight like Condit/Ellenberger 2.

Kampmann vs. Condit II

[RonPaulForPeace]

this is bs, why make a interm belt just to have him sit and wait, f**king bs

[TBEAR]

I don't blame him. I would wait to.

Hell before the fight Nick said he would wait and not defend an interm titlew as well, would you be on Nick this hard cause he would not have defended it ethier.

Carlos has a right to wait for GSP he earned that right, by beating Nick not that long ago

Yes. Because what the hell is the point of having an interim title if he's not going to defend it? So it looks pretty on a fight poster? It's bullshit. He could easily defend it before GSP comes back, maybe even twice depending on circumstances. But instead, the title is on hold for the rest of the year. Which I thought having an interim title was supposed to prevent. The whole damn thing is shenanigans, and I lost a bit of respect for Condit.

I see your point, but if I had a chance to fight GSP or Jake E, it don't take but a min to deside that....it is GSP! GSP is a legend.

If you want to blame someone, then blame Dana for letting it happen this way, or blame Dana for having an interim title fight in the first place.

The term "INTERIM title" to the UFC means money and a easy to HYPE champ vs champ fight with a large number of PPV buys.

No where close to all being Carlos fault and seems like there are people on here just blaming Carlos

Well, then who else should we blame? He is the one with the belt (interim), he is the one that's not injured, he is the one choosing not to fight. Sounds like it's his fault to me.

Damn it! I want Kampmann vs. Condit II
