Also, at the press conference, UFC magically has a promo for GSP VS Condit, yet they apparently only decided Condit would step in an hour before the press conference.
that's an interesting theory actually and one that could have a lot of truth to it. Would Condit, being better known to UFC fans, perhaps be a bigger draw than Diaz, who Dana has spoken harshly about a few times, and could the change have been made because of poor projected numbers?
