Carlos Condit (22-4) who is the current WEC Welterweight Champion made a strong statement in an interview with Carlos Arias of the OC Register saying that he knows he can reach his full potential. Condit would also go on to talk about the top fighters in the UFC's welterweight division. This is what he had to say, "But I feel, me being the champion, I can deal with any one of those guys in the UFC and beat quite a few of them and give them a run for their money."
"I want to fight anyone who is above me. I don't put too much thought into who I'm going to fight next or anything like that. I focus on improving myself and being the best that I can be. I know that if I reach my potential, then I can beat those guys, I can beat guys like GSP, I can beat guys like (Jon) Fitch. I can fight any of these guys. When I reach my prime, it's going to be a scary, scary thing for everybody in the welterweight division."
Condit really is a good welterweight fighter and deserves to be mentioned as one of the top welterweights in the world, but fighters like Georges St.Pierre and Jon Fitch will be at the top of their class for quite a long time because these guys are still learning and get even better with each fight that comes along in their careers. However; Condit is still young (only 24 years old) and hardcore MMA fans could agree that he will reach full potential and be one if not the best welterweight in the division sometime in the near future. But for now Georges St.Pierre is the top guy in the class
