Carlos Condit is a mixed martial arts veteran. 'The Natural Born Killer' has over eighteen years of experience and has been a member of the UFC roster since 2009. Condit has been a part of some of the greatest significant bouts that are now regarded MMA classics. He has fought the best Welterweight boxers of his time, including Georges St-Pierre, Nick Diaz, Robbie Lawler, and many more.
'The Natural Born Killer' still has the passion and drive to compete, as he prepares to confront his next battle on July 10. Condit will face Max Griffin in the preliminary round of UFC 264 Live. Many believe it will be the 37-year-old combatant's last battle.
Fans are well aware that Condit has slowed and no longer fights as quickly as he once did. Fighting is considered a young man's pastime, and many combatants quit after the age of thirty-five. Condit has had a number of concussions in his career since he's been in forty-five professional fights where he absorbed a lot of punishment. As a result, the UFC veteran's retirement is almost certain.
Despite this, ‘The Natural Born Killer' is still active today, and the UFC seems to have extended his contract, since his latest bout against Matt Brown was the last fight on his deal. His destiny seems to be completely dependent on the result of his battle against Max Griffin.
Will Carlos Condit face Nick Diaz in a rematch?
Following Condit's victory over Matt Brown, many people speculated that the UFC was planning a rematch between him and Nick Diaz. Instead, ‘The Natural Born Killer' was assigned Max Griffin as his next opponent. Diaz is without an opponent because the UFC has yet to identify a suitable match-up for the comeback fighter. If Condit wins at UFC 264, there's a good possibility the UFC will attempt to put together a rematch between the two longtime enemies.
