Carlos Condit is still looking to remain with the UFC.
Condit made it two wins in a row following a unanimous decision victory over Matt Brown in the co-main event of UFC Fight Island 7 yesterday.
It was notably the last fight of his UFC contract so it was all the more imperative that he came away with the victory — especially with some of the recent cuts the promotion has been making.
As for what’s next? The former interim welterweight champion has no idea.
“No clue, honestly,” Condit said at the post-fight press conference. “I don’t know. I have a few things I got to get tended to. Got to get a few things fixed up and I don’t know, there’s a lot of variables with all that.”
However, the goal to stay with the UFC remains the same.
“I love the UFC and I’ve had an incredible run,” Condit added. “I’ve grown up under Zuffa, WEC, UFC. We’ll see. I can’t give you an answer right now [on free agency].”
UFC president Dana White would later call Condit one of the OGs and it seemed he was open to the veteran signing a new contract.
It certainly helps Condit that he’s on a two-fight winning streak but nobody can blame him either if he’s looking to test free agency just to see what options are out there for him.
Maybe he will follow the lead of Anthony Pettis.
Do you think Condit will stay with the UFC or should he test free agency?
The UFC instantly set the bar for MMA in 2021 with UFC Fight Island 7. Whilst somewhat monotonous prelims started the event off, the main card truly delivered. Max Holloway will take most of the headlines, as his demolition of Calvin Kattar over 5 rounds was truly spectacular. However, the co-main event between Carlos Condit […]
The UFC instantly set the bar for MMA in 2021 with UFC Fight Island 7. Whilst somewhat monotonous prelims started the event off, the main card truly delivered. Max Holloway will take most of the headlines, as his demolition of Calvin Kattar over 5 rounds was truly spectacular. However, the co-main event between Carlos Condit and Matt Brown also deserves plaudits.
The two veterans of the sport have been linked numerous times throughout their illustrious careers. Whilst they are both certainly in the twilight of their fighting years, they both showcased the skills that still guaranteed them a co-main event slot. The fight was a back and forth affair. Brown utilised his wrestling in the first round, taking down Condit and maintaining top control. The second round saw Condit take the upper hand, using his own wrestling to turn the tables on Brown. The third was the most competitive, with both men having moments of dominance.
However, once it came to the judge’s decision, all three gave every round to Condit. Brown was unsurprisingly unhappy about the result and took to Twitter to vent his frustration.
However, he also took the time to show his appreciation for Max Holloway’s incredible main event performance.
