UFC 154 brought us an exciting night of fights featuring Georges St-Pierre’s successful return to the Octagon after a long layoff. With it came the traditional Fight Night bonuses, and GSP versus Carlos Condit earned the award for Fight of the Night. It was highly deserving of the award as the main event delivered a bloody war in which neither fighter was willing to give up. The two pocketed $70,000 apiece for their efforts.As far as the other awrds, Ivan Menjivar earned the 70K for Submission of the
UFC 154 is in the books from Montreal, Canada and GSP has successfully defeated Carlos Condit to unify the UFC Welterweight titles. With his tenth win in a row, St-Pierre showed flashes of the brilliance that brought him to prominence. His wrestling, as expected, was simply too tough to overcome. He may be derided for not finishing Condit, who was a bloody mess from the relentless ground-and-pound of GSP. St-Pierre did fall into some danger in the third round after a vicious headkick from the NBK, who
Carlos Condit knows that an aggressive style got him to championship-level status in MMA. However, it did not get him the UFC interim Welterweight belt because he used a highly elusive, different style to gain the belt against Nick Diaz all the way back in February. He doesn’t think that this style will prevail against Georges St-Pierre on Saturday in Montreal, and states that he will dictate the pace:”I feel like I just have the ability to threaten from any position, whether we’re standing or the fight is

When Georges St. Pierre takes on Carlos Condit this upcoming Saturday we will see if this highly anticipated fight will live up to its hype. Not to lower the expectations, but following is a reminder of some previous fights that failed to deliver.

With the long-awaited UFC Welterweight Championship Unification Fight between Georges St. Pierre and Carlos Condit happening a day later, it is very easy to overlook this main event, but it only requires a deeper look to see that it is rare to see a fight with so much subtext. Marcin Held, at only 20 years old, has
As long-standing Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre prepares to return to the Octagon after almost 19 months away, it becomes important to remember what got GSP to the lofty status he sits today. There has been much talk surrounding GSP’s inability to finish opponents as of late, his tendency to fight very safe, and questions surrounding his severe knee injury. All valid questions to be sure, but the bottom line is GSP has been a dominant champion, and has finished off some of the best Welterweights
