With his second-round finish of Thiago Alves at UFC Fight Night 67 on Saturday, fourth-ranked welterweight Carlos Condit reminded the world that he’s still a contender. Sidelined for fourteen months with a knee injury, Condit dismantled the twelfth-ranked Alves in the second round.
Heading into the fight, the 31-year-old wanted to make a statement.
“This fight will show that I haven’t gone anywhere and that I belong in the running for the title,” the No. 4 ranked welterweight said during the open workouts on Thursday.
