Quoteworthy: Paul Daley Thinks Carlos Condit Is A Watered Down Version Of Martin Kampmann

From MMAWeekly:

"(Carlos) is a great fight for myself.  He’s a great, game striker. Like’s to have a bang, has some good submissions, and a bit of wrestling.

"But in my opinion, he’s a slightly worse version of (Martin) Kampmann, in that I don’t think he’s as solid in every area as Kampmann is."

"Of course I think I’m going to win and of course I think I’m going to win by knockout."

Daley makes a somewhat valid point, because Condit did lose a razor(and I mean RAZOR) close decision to Martin Kampmann earlier this year.  I'm a Condit fan, but he definitely has a chance of stopping Condit.  However, on the flip side of that, Condit has tremendous heart and can never be counted out against anyone in the division.  They'll meet at UFC 108 in January.

Kampmann could beat Daley, foolish pride killed him… Condit won’t succumb to that shit and I see him arm-triangling Daley after surviving adversity… again not unlike Kampmann, in his fight vs. Drew McFederies.

Bloody hell.

Condit is tough as nails… but he won’t be trying to “prove himself” which is basically the story of Daley/Kampmann.

Bloody hell.

I dislike Daley mainly because his accomplishments don’t justify his attitude. That being said, I don’t like Condit’s chances in this fight. Don’t get me wrong, I think very highly of Carlos’ abilities but I think his own tenacity will work against him and provide Daley with the opportunity to steal another win against a superior opponent.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't
help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

I’m a huge Carlos Condit fan because he’s a top performer. While he’s not a dominant fighter, he’s fights like a champion. I think he’s better than Kampmann.

Daley!?! Of course he thinks he’s going to knock out Condit. I’m sure he has the same mindset about every fight.

I think Condit will be smart and use some jabs to set up a take down and end the fight quickly. But I thought Kampmann was going to be smart.

You know.. that’s actually a pretty accurate look at things. Of course, talent isn’t everything, gameplan figures into it too, and if Condit doesn’t pull a Kampmann and stand in front of Daley, it might go a little different. I don’t think Condit has that great of a chin though, so it might even be a faster finish.

Dawg

Condit survived multiple bombs from Ellenberger…I know there’s no way to equate who hits harder between Ellenberger and Daley or whatever….but he got hit with tomahawks and survived….I DO know that he doesn’t want to get hit like Kampmann did though…lol.

His ability to recover from the Ellenberger assault was remarkable.

He recovered

But he still got dropped. Ellenberger is a hard hitter, for sure, but Daley has some sick power at welterweight. I’m just sayin’ that Condit doesn’t really have a great chin.. sorta like how Ken Shamrock gets knocked retarded for a second, and by the time the ref stops the fight he’s got it back and is screaming about how he wasn’t out.

man…that ain’t even the same….comparing Condit to Shamrock….Condit never really goes out…and if he does…he keeps moving until he gets his bearings back..

Yeah, I see this fight coming down to the ref

Condit’s probably gonna get knocked down. He’ll be all there and working a guard, but he’s getting knocked down. If we can avoid the early stoppage, we’ll have a great fight.

…Condit by triangle.
