After a badly broken nose and a TKO loss to Carlos Condit, Thiago Alves will try his luck in the lightweight division.
Two grueling rounds with Carlos Condit were the last drop for Thiago Alves in the welterweight division since it was reported on "UFC Tonight" the once welterweight title challenger will indeed drop to the lightweight division.
Still 31 years of age, The Pitbull had a layoff of over two years due to recurring injuries after a frustrating guillotine choke loss to Martin Kampmann in 2012. Alves managed to bounce back in 2014, when he scored a unanimous decision win over Seth Baczynski that awarded both men with the Fight of the Night bonus.
