The second episode of "UFC 154 Primetime: St-Pierre vs. Condit" now is available to view online following its premiere on FX.
UFC 154 takes place Nov. 17 and features 170-pound champion St-Pierre (22-2 MMA, 16-2 UFC) vs. interim champ Condit (28-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in the main event to unify their titles.
"UFC 154: St-Pierre vs. Condit" takes place at Bell Centre in Montreal, St-Pierre's home city. St-Pierre, who is recovering from knee surgery, fights for the first time since an April 2011 win over Jake Shields and will have endured almost 19 months on the shelf when he enters the cage. Meanwhile, Condit competes for the first time since earning the UFC's interim title with a February decision win over Nick Diaz.
These two, however, have done it the old fashioned way: through integrity, hard work and excellence inside the cage—not so much the ability to entertain outside of it.
Don't get me wrong, the Jones-Sonnen and Aldo-Edgar fight scenarios are all well and good and are a major part of success in today's UFC. Those match ups and the way they came about only make me appreciate the integrity of St-Pierre-Condit even more.
In the second episode of UFC Primetime, (Courtesy MMAFighting.com) Carlos Condit says it best.
"It's not the guy talking the loudest that you've got to worry about. It's the quiet humble guy that's not saying anything that's really the dangerous one.
In the end, did Anderson Silva have to worry much about Chael Sonnen the second time around? Did all of Michael Bisping's bravado help him against Dan Henderson?
People wonder what the difference is between a fighter and a martial artist? The UFC is becoming more and more filled with "fighters". Men who love the show, the trash talk, the attention leading up to a fight. Do those guys always lay it on the line when they get in the cage?
This fight is the perfect example of two true martial artists who have done all their talking in the cage throughout their entire careers.
Many great fighters take a different all around approach to the sport. Sonnen can talk with the best of them. Jones is a persona—the young, rising superstar. Bisping is brash and can talk and generate an audience.
I am more afraid of the silent assassin. Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, Benson Henderson, Dan Henderson, Cain Velasquez, Georges St-Pierre, Carlos Condit. These are men who know and therefore don't need to speak.
St-Pierre and Condit can just flat out fight. They don't need talk or words to build heat and interest. They are both the best of the best with uncompromising integrity. They have both spilled blood, sweat and tears and not just breath and hot air to get to this main event title fight.
