In a 3 round fight i give slight edge to Rory if he would use his wrestling.In a 5 round fight i think Condit would find a path to breaking Rory down.
 
Good question..

I would take Condit because of Rory's layoff and the nature of both of their last fights...

I could easily see either of them winning though, and Rory damn near beat him before
 
I wouldn't feel good about myself if I picked against Condit.
 
I'd take rory. He was so close last time and has matured and gotten better. Condit got better as well but I belive rory has gotten even better.
 
I'd go with Rory. Btw Condit isn't retiring then ?
 
Since their bout, Sherdog has always leaned towards Rory on the rematch... I think it's a good matchup and could go either way. Both have improved their games equally over the last few years. I'd give the crafty/unpredictable edge to Condit and the TD/wrestling (obviously) to Rory.
 
Question is how that crazy war against Lawler affected Rory, we havent seen him fight since. But if he looks similar like before, its basically 50/50 fight, flip a coin. Their first fight was pretty close, Condit won undoubtedly, but Rory was still pretty green, he is definitely more battle tested now.
 
Definitely Condit.

I agree with this assessment.
 
In a ME i'd pick Condit with his superior cardio.
 
In a 3-rounder, Rory by UD. In a 5-rounder, Condit by late TKO (again, somewhat).
 
leave it to UFC to make it a 3 rd fight. some fights just need to be 5 rounders or bust. I can't bet against condit
 
I love Condit, but I think Rory is the smarter choice. Hes not nearly as durable as Condit but he always has a good game plan

Saying rory is not nearly as durable as anyone is retarded. I always have the impression that rory is an absolute tank of a man, condit just scrambles better
 
I think Rory would be able to land takedowns pretty much at will, which will allow him to win the decision.

If it was a striking only affair id pick Condit for sure
 
Rory but I'm not 100% confident voting for either, really a toss up
