UFC 264 Prelims — Condit vs. Griffin Preview
The UFC 264 Prelims is headlined by a feature fight between two UFC Welterweight fighters on the edge, as Carlos Condit and Max Griffin square off.
Carlos “The Natural Born Killer” Condit (32-13) is an accomplished fighter who finds himself at a crossroads of his career. This kickboxing expert was once the Interim UFC Welterweight champion and twice after that fought for the undisputed title. Unfortunately his two losses in those championship fights were two of his nine losses since joining the UFC. That brings Condit’s record to 9-9 since joining the promotion, but he has one his last two fights.
Condit has a great list of opponents on his resume, including Tyron Woodley, Robbie Lawler, and Georges St. Pierre. But his biggest wins against Nick Diaz and Rory McDonald were about a decade ago, so Condit needs to make a big statement in this fight to show he still has what it takes to make noise in the UFC.
Max “Pain” Griffin (17-7) is also at a make or break point for his UFC career, so two desperate fighters could lead to a tense Featured battle. Griffin has a losing record (5-6) since joining the UFC, and that is after he won his last two fights. His most recent win over Song Kenan was a quick round one knockout, so Griffin still has the power to take a fight out of the judges hands. That will be key for Griffin, because he is 3-6 in his nine UFC fights that have gone the distance. If Griffin wants the win, he needs to be focused on how he can finish Condit before the final bell.
