The last few years have been a struggle for Carlos Condit both personally and professionally.
Inside the cage, the former WEC champion and perennial welterweight contender has suffered four consecutive losses, beginning with a controversial split decision defeat to Robbie Lawler in a welterweight title fight at UFC 195 and capped by his second-round submission loss to Alex Oliveira this past April.
Outside the cage, the 34-year-old father of two has gone through a divorce, and admits that some of those personal challenges had an impact on his preparation and performance in the Octagon.
“I had a bunch of stuff going on in my personal life that I think bled into my career,” said Condit, offering some insights on his recent struggles and why he’s returning to action once again this weekend at UFC 232, where he’s set to welcome Michael Chiesa to the 170-pound weight class.
