Carlos Joseph Condit (born April 26, 1984) is an American professional mixed martial artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico, currently competing for the UFC.

Mixed martial arts

Background and training

Condit formerly fought in the UFC's sister promotion, World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), where he was the final WEC welterweight champion[1] and also competed for Pancrase.

Condit now trains at Jackson's Submission Fighting out of Albuquerque, NM. As of October 2010, Condit is ranked the #7 welterweight in the world by Sherdog.[3]

World Extreme Cagefighting

Condit made his debut for the WEC at WEC 25 where he defeated Kyle Jensen in the first round via submission (Rear Naked Choke). Condit's second fight would be for the vacant WEC Welterweight Championship against John Alessio at WEC 26. Condit would win this fight in the second round, once again, by Rear Naked Choke and became the WEC Welterweight Champion.

Condit would then defend the title against Brock Larson at WEC 29 and Carlo Prater at WEC 32, defeating both by submission in the first round. Condit's final defense would be against Hiromitsu Miura at WEC 35. The fight would end via TKO in the fourth round, winning Fight of the Night honours, which meant that Condit would be the last ever WEC Welterweight Champion after the UFC dissolved the title and division. Condit's record in the WEC would end at a perfect 5–0.

Transition to the UFC

Condit would make the move to UFC after the WEC buyout and he made his debut in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) organization, losing via a very close split decision against Martin Kampmann at UFC Fight Night 18. The fight was close enough that Fightmetric ruled the bout a draw.

He was then scheduled to fight Chris Lytle on September 16, 2009, at UFC Fight Night 19, but Lytle had to drop out due to a knee injury.[4] UFC newcomer Jake Ellenberger would step up to replace Lytle.[5] Condit then defeated Ellenberger via split decision to get his first win in the UFC. Condit later had to drop out of a scheduled fight at UFC 108 against Paul Daley due to a hand injury.[6]

Condit defeated Rory MacDonald via third-round TKO at UFC 115[7] in a bout that earned the Fight of the Night award. Although MacDonald seemed to get the better of the first two rounds with effective striking and takedowns, Condit came back with a more aggressive attitude in the final stanza, finishing MacDonald with a combination of elbows and short punches that prompted the referee to end the bout with only seven seconds remaining.[8] It was later revealed after analysis of the judges' scorecards, that had MacDonald not been finished in the last seven seconds, then he would have picked up a split decision victory.[8]

Condit faced Dan Hardy on October 16, 2010 at UFC 120. In the first round, Condit connected with a powerful left hook during an exchange, which dropped Hardy. Condit then landed two punches to Hardy on the ground before the referee stopped the fight at 4:27 of the first round. This victory made Condit the first man to defeat Hardy by way of KO and also earned him Knockout of the Night honours.[9][10]

Condit is expected to face Chris Lytle on February 27, 2011 at UFC 127.[11]

Personal life

Condit's father, Brian, is the Chief of Staff for New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, the former Democratic Presidential Candidate.[12] Condit has a fiancée.[13] The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in March 2010.[14]
