Every time he walks in the ring with that look on his face it just annoys me. Don't take this like i'm bashing him though. Is he skilled? yes. Should he move to the UFC? yes. To Nick: he did not beat Hiromitsu Miura in a "dominate" fashion. In fact, he almost lost in the 3rd AND 4th round due to strikes. Condit just threw a wild knee that just happened to land. hats off to him. Can he beat Thiago Alves? no. Matt Hughes (if he was still fighting)? no. Dong Hyun Kim? doubt it. Josh Koshcheck (even though i don't like him) can also beat him. Quite honestly, i believe that he would be a good addition to the UFC, but he is nowhere near capable of taking GSP or anybody of the like. I honestly don’t like Condit.

They had another brand a year ago that could have gone head to head with the UFC for a "superbowl of MMA". It was called PRIDE !! I feel bad for Condit, Filho, and Stann as the WEC isn't as high profile and these guys probably aren't making as much money on endorsements as they could in the UFC. Don't get me wrong though, I love the WEC cards. I just think the UFC should use it for development purposes. Faber and Torres are awesome and would be surefire stars in the UFC..

WHo is left in the division in the WEC for him to fight? I think he has beaten everyone of note, and done so in dominate fashion. He needs to be moved to the UFC. Its bordering on silly.

Condit is one of the few WEC guys that has TOP TIER talent, that's why he makes his fights look so easy. Faber is another, as well as Miquel Torres. Stann's game, from what he's put on display, is not quite as well rounded, yet, however his power is definitely scary. Outside of those guys, i'm sure i'm overlooking a few, the WEC full of quality fighters, fighting their way, possibly, to bigger and better places ... the UFC. I just checked their roster ... add the following to the 2nd Tier list, just below those 3 guys, you have the talents of: Sonnel, Fihlo(if his head is right), 3rd Tier ... Bryan Baker, Leggett ROB-ROY, Hicks, Cerrone, Maeda, and Damacio Page. I LOVE WHAT THE WEC OFFERS!!!

If he was still the champ would Zuffa just have him up and leave and go into the "big leagues"? I agree the man has the skills but I just dont understand how he could move to the UFC without hurting the WEC and having to reestablish his star power with a new audience. Any thoughts?

He's WEC quality however. There is a reason why he's in the Wec and not in the majors like the Ufc. He couldn't deal with GSP or Jon Fitch. The top ten in the welterweight division would eat him for lunch. Could he get there someday, sure but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Dude is quality fighter. He’s WEC quality however.

WEC has some serious class in the lighter weight divisions. No doubt one of my favorite fighters…he is so dynamic he reminds me what a Mixed Martial Artist is supposed to look like.
