The edge goes to Carlos Condit for 2 reasons that seem to be overlooked. 1.) Carlos Condit finished Rory the first time (before you argue it wasn't legit for any reason keep in mind that Rory himself admitted he got his , "ass kicked".)
2.) This is the biggest reason I believe Condit has the upper hand (besides the fact that he is superior striker and ground fighter, IMO): Their last fights are misleading on paper. Carlos lost and Rory won on paper but it's more than that. Carlos went to war with GSP over 5 rounds and came very close to winning. Rory toyed with a natural 155 er and may have gained false confidence. BJ is what ? 2-5-1 at 170???
I would bet the house on condit based on the second point alone. Rory is in for a whole new world of fighting when he meets Condit after both men's last respective fights. Discuss...
