The last time fans saw Carlos Condit fighting in the Octagon, his knee unraveled on pay-per-view in the first round of his fight against Tyron Woodley at UFC 171.
It had been 14 months since that night in Dallas, and coming off a fresh ACL reconstruction, Condit made up for lost time, putting on a fiery and inspired performance against Thiago Alves on Saturday night in Goiania, Brazil.
After an opening round filled with troubleshooting and respectful prodding, Condit came unleashed in round two.
