Normally, in the event of a draw the champ keeps his belt. Does that mean that Condit would still be the interim champ?
I'm sure with GSP being back the interim belt will be void, but still I haven't heard of this happening before.

Let us hope that doesn't happen.

Both fighters would be sure to agree to that. Neither one wants an inconclusive result, which would be unsatisfying to both guys.
As a matter of fact, that should be the UFC official policy for all fights that end in draws. Fans hate draws.

In a title fight however it's not really good when it happens, see Edgar/Maynard the whole division has to wait and it's annoying...
So there is no real solution other than better, qualified and experienced judges.

When two fighters have a very even fight and neither convincingly won, it was a draw. The wins and losses on their records for these fights are misleading.
Shogun and Hendo had a draw. That's what it should be on their records, too, so that fans looking back can understand what happened.

When a young lion tries to take over the pride, he must first drive off the old, ruling pride male. If he cannot, he cannot mate with the females. Think of the fans as the pride of females. A King must rule according to rules. Heavy rests the head that wears the crown.
If this fight ends in a draw, the fans will not recognize Carlos as the best. We all know what GSP can do. Carlos is the one who is trying to make his mark, establish his credentials and plant his flag. A draw will not do what he wants to do in the eyes of the fans.
Carlos must find some way to win, one way or another, to plant his flag, claim his title and take over the pride. Tribal rules are not easily set aside. Usurpers are not kindly welcomed. Lineage must be preserved by a clean passage of title & inheritance.

How will Carlos ever push off such a bigger, stronger man? Who wrestles so much better?
To all who say Carlos has a great ground game - not against GSP-level of wrestler, he doesn't. Carlos' only possible chance is a Royce Gracie-level of aggressive submission attack off his back.
And Carlos has NEVER shown that level of miraculous skill. Carlos is not Gracie off his back. Good is not great and Carlos will have to arrive great. Royce Gracie-level great. And I just don't see how he can evolve that far in so short a time. Maybe they should have imported a Gracie into the Greg Jackson Albuquerque gym.

With that being said, no **** Condit would get a rematch if he were to draw with GSP for anyone to argue against that is absurd. But he won't draw with GSP.
