Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit announced his return to the welterweight division emphatically on Saturday night in Brazil. He scored a TKO victory over Thiago Alves after the second round when the Octagon-side doctor wouldn't allow the proud Brazilian to continue.
In the second round, Condit appeared to break the nose of Alves with a counter elbow strike that visibly disfigured his opponent's nose. The shot sent Alves reeling and opened a nasty gash on his nose.
To the Brazilian's credit, he showed exceptional heart fighting back, but Condit never let up. Condit landed 75 significant strikes to just 34 for Alves.
