LAS VEGAS - Carlos Condit isn't boisterous enough to lobby for a title shot so he let his work in the Octagon send a sonic boom the way of UFC management. A composed Condit waited for Dong Hyun Kim to drop his guard for a split second and pounced. He vaulted through the air with a flying knee that floored Kim and followed it up with seven nasty shots on the ground. He left Kim with the dreaded stink eye as referee Steve Mazzaggati jumped in to stop things at the 2:58 mark of the first round in the pay-per-view opener of UFC 132.
Condit may finally be on the verge of getting his crack at Georges St-Pierre, the UFC'S dominant welterweight champion. Condit has taken a laid back approach while more chatty fighters like Dan Hardy have gotten�their shots at GSP. Jake Shields, a champion from outside the organization,�also got a relatively quick shot, and next up is Strikeforce welterweight�Nick Diaz. Condit, the former WEC 170-pound champion,�had to work his way up the ladder like he was a true UFC newcomer.
Condit is now 4-1 with the promotion. He was a perfect 5-0 with the Zuffa-owned WEC and 27-5 overall. Diaz will challenge St. Pierre at UFC 137 in October. If GSP retains the title, Condit seems like the obvious choice. That should be interesting since both St. Pierre and Condit work with Albuquerque trainer Greg Jackson.
