The guy, who at the time was still a killer with something like a 95% finish rate? And you thought gsp would be fine after getting floored with a head kick?
 
After St. Pierre recovered, which was very quick, he had Condit against the cage and St. Pierre showed some sweet boxing but quickly went for the takedown. What a tease of his stand-up lol.

I was watching the fight at home. As soon as GSP fell back I thought to myself: "Oh no this looks bad for GSP, he might tap to strikes for a second time in his career"

Luckily he was able to hold on and recover to go and win the fight. It was still a moment where I thought that Condit was about to be the new ww champion

Not many people are gonna get the copypasta but this was hilarious
 
I was there live. It felt like the entire crowd went silent for 10 sec after that. I remember saying to a random dude on my right that Condit is still super dangerous as the fight progress, and he can catch GSP with something, I mean that was fucking nuts.

Getting hit in the ear, or behind the ear, is what knocks your equilibrium offline, not getting hit in the temple. Temple is typically a knockout.

thanks for the response doctor oz.....let me kick you in temple and you tell me how you feel.

also you just made gsp a superstar by saying that....basically condits kick was supposed to ko his opponent yet gsp took it no problem fell back but still regained composure and took control of the fight again...just another notch showing why gsp is the ww's goat.
 
I shit myself

Just kidding. I shat myself.

You seem upset? Getting hit on or near the ear is what will disrupt your equilibrium, not the temple. A kick to the temple is less likely to knock someone out than a punch due to the surface area of the impact. A punch is more densely targeted in comparison.

the temple is near the ear....and i'm not upset. just felt like being a smart ass calling you doctor oz. and again you make gsp look like a super star by your standards condit should've ko'd gsp or at least hurt him bad....that was not the case, gsp stumbled backwards but wasn't out or dazed, it didn't take long before he regained control again. Really doesn't matter whether it was ear, temple, rocked or didn't rock the equilibrium, he recovered and came back to win.
 
How can you not like watching either of those fighters?

GSP made himself a superstar, not me, and not by recovering from a head kick.

Your analysis and fear of GSP's equilibrium going offline, as it did in the Serra fight, was inaccurate. The temple is near the ear, yes, but shots to or behind the ear is what will damage the inner ear, throwing your equilibrium offline. That's all I was saying. Shots to the temple will more commonly put you out, not affect your equilibrium. They're very different in that sense.

well either way (no pun intended) gsp took it like a champ and came back to win, so I guess that's pretty impressive if the strike had the potential to ko him, crazy.

It was impressive and refreshing that he was able to recover and didn't fold as he had previously the two other times (at this point) he faced similar adversity. It's MMA, man. Almost every strike has the potential to KO someone.
 
It’s mad how bad my memory has declined lately it’s like I’ve got dementia.

my iPhone camera roll only goes back as far as 2013 so I have no idea what head space I was in but I remember the posters for this fight were then both looking like gimps in suits with like a presidential election theme.
I was such a big fan back then
