I spoke to Condit a few days before the fight and he said that he would never mind a fight that turned into a brawl, and that Greg Jackson would never alter a fighter’s strength. Really, all along, Hardy was going to get exactly what he wanted, and that was a fight. Not point-sparring or positional control, but a guy looking to finish him.
“I’m not the same fighter, and I don’t have the same style attributes that GSP has,” Condit said. “We had a different approach to the fight.”
Speaking of GSP, the soft-spoken Condit surprised a few people by reiterating a point that went ignored earlier this week; that he would fight his teammate if the UFC approached him with a title opportunity.
“We haven’t discussed it very much,” he said, “but I think it would be foolish of me to turn down an opportunity like that.”
To that, UFC president Dana White broke into applause.
Of course, that’s probably in the future, and Condit himself admitted it was really too early to worry about the possibility, targeting the winner of next week’s Martin Kampmann-Jake Shields fight as a possible next opponent.
But if he fights as well as he did against GSP’s most recent foe, it’s within the realm of possibility that the boys in Albuquerque, New Mexico could be faced with a sticky situation.
