Carlos Condit and TyronWoodley did not have the back-and-forth fight we had hoped for Saturday night in Dallas. Condit suffered an injury in the second round, and Woodley finished him off.
It was a much-needed win for the No. 11-ranked welterweight that moves him up the ladder in the division. He has title aspirations, but the injury to Condit may cloud his victory just enough to prevent him from laying claim to it.
Woodley did what he needed to, and nothing should be taken away from his performance. He is a top-10 welterweight and should be in the mix.
Pre-fight
Round 1
Woodley landed some heavy shots on Condit, but he was not able to put him away. Condit has one of the best chins in the division. It showed. Woodley took the first frame clearly, but Condit remained a dangerous opponent with his well-rounded skill set.
Round 2
The action looked to pick up in the second, but on a Woodleytakedown it was clear something went array. Condit grimaced and tried to battle through the pain. When they stood back up Woodley threw a leg kick that made Condit put weight on his injured leg. He could not continue.
Post-fight
Woodley did the right thing by attacking the injury. No one should fault him for that. Now we will have to see where the chips fall in the welterweight division.
Carlos Condit and Tyron Woodley provided fireworks in the UFC 171 co-main event for one-and-a-half rounds before the bout came to an unfortunate, abrupt end.

Carlos Condit and Tyron Woodley provided fireworks in the UFC 171 co-main event for one-and-a-half rounds before the bout came to an unfortunate, abrupt end.
After seven minutes of solid, back-and-forth action, Condit tweaked his knee during a takedown from Woodley but managed to hang tough and weather the storm, eventually working his way back to his feet.
Condit had not been finished since 2008, and this is not how anybody wanted to see his run end. Still, these things happen in MMA; injuries are a byproduct of two strong, ferocious dudes swinging fists, feet, knees and shins inside the Octagon.
For Condit, the loss represents a setback within the division, and he will tumble from his No. 2 ranking.
Conversely, Woodley just rocketed himself up the welterweight ladder—potentially to a title shot in his next outing.
What we’ll remember about this fight
The gross finish sticks out the most in this one, but this was shaping up to be a sensational fight.
Woodley scored a few takedowns, and he landed some clean, sharp punches on Condit.
Undeterred, The Natural Born Killer fired back, landing low kicks and solid hooks with regularity. He was eating Woodley’s power and positioning himself to make a late push for the finish.
Unfortunately, we’ll never know what these two had in store for us as the fight progressed.
What we learned about Condit
We learned nothing new about him in this fight.
We already knew he had an excellent chin and possessed a diverse stand-up attack. We knew he suffered against powerful wrestlers and that he was a human being with ligaments in his knee.
Check, check, check and check.
What we learned about Woodley
Woodley can defeat the division’s elite.
Prior to taking care of Condit, his best victory was a first-round knockout of a fading Josh Koscheck, a fact that hampered his ascent up the welterweight ranks.
“T-Wood” had traditionally struggled against upper-tier fighters—his two career losses came to Nate Marquardt and Jake Shields—but this win showed that he can perform on the big stage and under pressure.
Before Condit’s injury, Woodley looked good in there, and it is not a stretch to think that he would have cruised to a unanimous-decision victory, given the fight’s trajectory.
What’s next for Condit?
Condit is a fan favorite, and he is game for any fighter at any time.
He’s skilled and a vicious finisher, so plenty of tasty options await him once he heals up.
For now, let’s tentatively pen him in for the loser of the night’s main event between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler.
What’s next for Woodley?
Did he do enough to earn a title shot?
He won—and finished—Condit, but the fact that it came via injury will tarnish the victory a bit.
With Shields losing earlier in the evening, however, Woodley’s claim for the title shot is strong, and if he stirs up enough interest after the fight, he just might get it.
In the co-main event of UFC 171 from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, it was Tyron Woodley who beat former welterweight champion Carlos Condit via second-round TKO to earn the No. 1 contendership in the division.

In the co-main event of UFC 171 from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, it was TyronWoodley who beat former welterweight champion Carlos Condit via second-round TKO to earn the No. 1 contendership in the division.
Despite earning the victory, most will remember how he won more than the actual win. ESPN’s Brett Okamoto explains:
That’s not to say Woodley didn’t hold his own in this fight, though. He came out active from the opening bell, peppering Condit with several stiff punches. Condit was able to take the punishment and eventually rally a bit at the end of the first round, but nothing would help him when his knee gave way early in the second round.
After the fight, Woodley paid respect to Condit (via UFC on FOX):
Nonetheless, Woodley‘s victory is huge for one of the brightest stars in the division. With the retirement of Georges St-Pierre, the welterweight class is now wide open, and there are several top contenders looking to get their hands on the belt.
Instead of MMA fans understanding that a title eliminator was nothing more than a coin flip to decide who would lose via decision to GSP, there is no clear-cut top fighter in the division anymore.
While Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler in the main event will decide who the new king of the welterweights is, Woodley now has a one-way ticket to a main event where he will challenge for one of the company’s top prizes.
The hope now for Woodley is that Hendricks is able to pull out the victory and will be the man he faces in his title shot. With the chance to fight in the most high-profile fight possible, Woodley will have the unique opportunity to make a name for himself and cement his status as one of the best fighters in the sport, regardless of weight class.
As for what’s next for Condit, the most likely next fight would be a challenge against the loser of the main event matchup. If Lawler goes on to take the loss as many experts expect, the timing for a fight would be perfect.
Condit vs. Lawler would be a very intriguing undercard matchup.
Grade: C-
From a strictly in-ring point of view, this was an ideal matchup of two contrasting styles.
While Condit has been known as an explosive striker who will make his challengers pay for being too aggressive, Woodley also showed that he can hang by throwing some powerful punches of his own.
This fight showed a ton of promise after the first round, but Condit‘s injury brought things to an abrupt close. Not only is that disappointing for UFC fans, but this injury should also linger in Condit‘s mind as Woodley moves on to presumably fight the winner of UFC 171’s main event.
This fight wasn’t a total failure from a fighting standpoint, but the injury definitely knocks it down the grading scale.
Anyway, that doesn’t mean UFC 171 won’t be fun to watch, because honestly, this is a talent-rich card with some very competitive match-ups. In the main event, Johny Hendricks and (incredibly) Robbie Lawler will fight for the UFC’s vacant welterweight title, while a quartet of other 170-pounders (Condit, Woodley, Shields, Lombard) jockey for their place in the divisional pecking order. Plus: The always-entertaining Diego Sanchez will shed some more brain cells in a scrap with the undefeated Myles Jury.

UFC 171 on Saturday night is headlined by the highly anticipated title bout between Johny Hendricks and RobbieLawlerfor the vacant crown. That fight, however, is not the only welterweight scrap on the card.
UFC 171 features four more clashes at 170 pounds, and three of those bouts have at least one ranked fighter. The fight card in Dallas will shake up the welterweight division.
The six fighters participating in those fights are trying to get into title contention. They want to stake their claim in the division and challenge the winner of the main event.
Who will come out on top? Who will insert their names in the list of contenders? Let’s take a look in advance of UFC 171.
Kelvin Gastelum vs. No. 14 Rick Story
Story has not had back-to-back wins since early 2011 when he was inching close to being a contender. He was derailed by Charlie Brenneman and never got back on track. A win over Gastelum will put him back into consideration.
Gastelum won the 17th season of The Ultimate Fighter by stunning the highly touted Uriah Hall. He followed that up with a stellar showing against Brian Melancon last August. The undefeated prospect can thrust himself into the welterweight rankings with a win over Story.
Both fighters will have to do a bit of work before joining the upper echelon of the division, but they are not far off. This is an important fight for both men and the division.
Story has a win over Hendricks, and Gastelum is a fast-rising prospect. They have good stories to assist in their marketing ability, should they reach contention.
Who can take that next step?
One has to wonder how Gastelum‘s rough weight cut will play against the ever-tough Story. I was firmly in Gastelum‘s camp until the weigh-ins. Story is an uphill battle for someone who struggled to make weight.
Story is not going to relent, and Gastelum will wilt as the fight goes on.
Prediction: Story defeats Gastelum by decision.
No. 6 Jake Shields vs. No. 12 Hector Lombard
The battle between Shields and Lombard may be the most intriguing stylistic matchup on the UFC 171 card.
The fight may or may not produce some of the most exciting action, but the technical acumen of both men make this one hard to predict.
Lombard has a strong judo background and incredible power in his hands, but he has struggled against strong grapplers. Can Shields use his wrestling and ground control to stifle the hard-hitting Cuban? Perhaps, but Lombard should be able to get back to his feet.
If Shields can keep Lombard down and win the fight, he will have one of the best cases for receiving the next title shot. Lombard would likely need at least one more fight, but a win would elevate him into the list of contenders, which is where he wants to be.
Shields has taken tough shots before, but if Lombard lands early, it will be goodnight moon. I sense that Lombard will connect and end this fight early.
Prediction: Lombard defeats Shields by KO in the first round.
Condit has the best claim to being the next title contender, and a win should cement that. He is the No. 2-ranked welterweight and the former interim champion and had a close decision loss to UFC 171 title challenger Hendricks.
Woodley is 2-1 in the UFC, and the former Strikeforce welterweight contender can make it two straight with a victory over Condit. He can ruin “The Natural Born Killer’s” title bid and join the premier contenders in the division.
Woodley has a good wrestling base with a lot of punching power. Condit is the total package. If Woodley can dictate where the fight takes place, he has the inside track to win in a three-round bout, but Condit is one of the best game-planners in MMA today.
The former Strikeforce contender has good odds to upset his opponent, but Condit is simply too well-rounded. He can win on points, but I expect him to touch up Woodley and finish him. Condit‘s striking has improved greatly over the years, and the angles he comes from will frustrate and confuse his opponent in Dallas.
Condit will put on a show en route to stating his case as the rightful next title challenger.
Prediction:Condit defeats Woodley by TKO in the second round.
