LAS VEGAS – With his second-straight “Knockout of the Night” victory,
former WEC welterweight champion Carlos Condit is quickly becoming a top
contender in the UFC’s 170-pound division.
Saturday night’s UFC 132 event featured a host of incredible knockout
victories, but UFC president Dana White deemed Condit’s first-round
finish of Dong Hyun Kim the best of the bunch, awarding him the bonus
and declaring him “one of the best 170-pounders in the world.”
But with UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre not scheduled to
defend his title until late October, Condit isn’t interesting in sitting
around waiting for a title shot.
