Morning Report: Carlos Condit admits he'd rather fight someone else, but believes a win over Demian Maia earns him a title shot

In January, Carlos Condit lost a narrow split decision to Robbie Lawler for the UFC welterweight championship. Afterwards, Condit was open about considering retirement out of concern for his health, saying he might only return if it was for a title. Then last month it was announced that Condit would be returning at UFC 202 against third-ranked Demian Maia. Then last week the bout was removed from UFC 202 and made the main event of UFC on FOX 21, possibly in response to negative fan reaction that the fight would only be a three-round contest.
