After being choked out by submission wizard Demian Maia in the main event of Saturday’s UFC On FOX 21 event in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, former UFC title contender Carlos Condit spoke about the possibility of no longer being a top-level fighter in the UFC.
At the official post-fight press conference held after the event, “The Natural Born Killer” spoke about his performance and while doing so, was pretty hard on himself. At the same time, there are those who feel that Condit wasn’t being overly hard on himself as much as he was simply speaking the truth as he saw it.
“I don’t know if I have any business fighting at this level anymore,” Condit said at the UFC on FOX 21 post-fight presser. “I’ve been at this for a really long time and the pressure of kind of being one of the top guys for almost a decade, it’s been awesome. I’ve loved being involved in this sport for the time that I have, and I’ve gotten to do what I love for a living for a long period of time.”
On the subject of his future, Condit concluded by saying he doesn’t know if he “belongs here anymore.”
“But, I don’t know, man,” Condit said. “I don’t know if I belong here anymore. We’ll see.”
