Carlos Condit made up for lost time.
In his first appearance in more than a year, the “Natural Born Killer” netted a second-round technical knockout against Thiago Alves in the UFC Fight Night “Condit vs. Alves” headliner on Saturday at the Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The cageside physician deemed Alves (21-10, 13-7 UFC) unfit to continue between rounds two and three, his nose having been mangled by a standing elbow strike.
Condit (30-8, 7-4 UFC) struggled to establish a rhythm in the first round, as he absorbed a number of heavy leg kicks from the Brazilian.
