MMA: Condit Talks Rory Rematch
Carlos Condit Offers His Take on Rory MacDonald Rematch at UFC 158
http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/im...650&h=440&q=75 Eric Bolte-USA TODAY Sports Carlos Condit has talked of his reaction to Rory MacDonald challenging him to a rematch moments after the Canadian’s victory at UFC on Fox 5 against BJ Penn. It was a callout the fighter said he expected, even if he found it a little strange. Talking to MMAjunkie.com, Condit said, "I kind of had a feeling that he was going to call me out...So I went over and, sure enough, he did." Condit and MacDonald first met in 2010 at UFC 115 when the former interim welterweight champion handed the Canadian his first loss. It was a match MacDonald was winning going into the third and final round, but somehow, in the dying minutes, Condit was able to turn things around and hand the young fighter his first career loss. That loss clearly stung. Moments after beating Penn, MacDonald began his campaign to avenge his loss to Condit. He told Joe Rogan inside the Octagon that he was humiliated and embarrassed by Condit and that the loss still haunts him. Although happy with the rematch, Condit is still perplexed by MacDonald’s attitude. Quote:
