Fight Archives: That time Carlos Condit dropped a US soldier who sucker-punched him

Before injuries and Father Time started getting the best of him, there was no denying that Carlos Condit was one of the “BMFs” of his era. His clean knockout of Dan Hardy that made Robert Downey Jr. jump out of his seat remains to be up there in the all-time classic highlight reels list, as with his other bouts both in the UFC and WEC.

Apparently, the “Natural Born Killer” persona extends outside the cage, especially when he’s laced up with a pair of gloves. A member of the US Army learned that the hard way when Condit, along with BJ Penn, Michael Bisping, and Urijah Faber paid a visit to the troops in Afghanistan in June 2008.
