I definitely agree, Condit's best chance will come early. If it goes more than 3 rounds GSP is in very good position to win. Wrestlers usually do better in later rounds than strikers, GSP has plenty of late round experience and only an idiot would question his heart.
However, ring rust + injury + age make him a prime target for a striker in his prime. Condit isn't just a guy with a heavy set of hands.... he is very slick and uses some excellent strategies to set up his strikes. Check out the write-ups on Bloody Elbow... they do a fantastic job of style dissection.
