Diggin’ Deep on UFC 264: Can Carlos Condit maintain his winning streak?
Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Carlos Condit fighting Matt Brown at UFC Fight Island 7Given that I complimented the UFC on the early prelims of UFC 264 – indicating they had the most consequential fights of the prelims – that would indicate I’m not impressed with the televised prelims. I don’t have a problem with them in the least. Given his recent run of success, I no longer cringe when I see Carlos Condit’s name on a card as I did about a year ago. Ryan Hall is still an intriguing mystery given the lack of opponents willing to step into the cage with him. Many think Dricus Du Plessis is going to be a serious player at middleweight in short order. And who doesn’t love the violent possibilities between Niko Price and Michel Pereira? There’s a lot to like. I just don’t see fights that are going to have a potential impact near the top of their divisions. Just thought I’d clear that up, and give my recommendation to tune in.
