and when he decides to come back, he won't be as good as he was before and just blame it on how he left to take that break..

listened to a bit more of the conference and im starting to agree with where he's coming from. says that he's unbelievably stressed with everything he has to go through during the build up of a fight. all the meetings, interviews, traveling. not to mention all the training he has committed himself to.
lots of responsibilities as champ.

the guy has fought everyone in the division, only thing you can hang on him is not fighting silva. lots of hungry dogs coming after his title and he fended them off (except hendricks). i just imagine the mental toll is massive, like gsp refering to added wieght on his shoulders every fight.

i think i heard him say it, not 100% sure. we do have a card in 2 weeks with 2 title bouts on it. so it does happen.

Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani7m
Just got this text from Jake Ellenberger: "I want Ellenberger vs. Condit 2. The first fight was 13 days notice for me."
dana said he hopes to be able to announce it (condits next opponent) tomorrow or monday
