Chiesa still has some of Condit’s Sinister walkout shirts but is ready to ‘put the fanboy aside’ for UFC 232

One of the great things about a combat sports career is that it gives athletes a chance to meet their idols... and to utterly destroy them. That’s the opportunity that Michael Chiesa is hoping to take advantage of, when he meets former WEC champion and UFC title contender Carlos Condit at UFC 232.

Never mind that Condit and Chiesa are practically the same age (Condit is still only 34), the ‘Natural Born Killer’ has been a feature action fighter since jumping off the New Mexico regional scene in 2005. His two year stint with World Extreme Cagefighting saw him win and defend the welterweight belt 3 times.
