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.

A clash of welterweight division veteran’s, ‘The Immortal’ Matt Brown, and ‘The Natural Born Killer’ Carlos Condit is currently in the works for a UFC Fight Night event on January 30 – with a location or venue for the event yet to be determined by the promotion.

Recently snapping a five-fight, four-year run without a victory, former interim UFC welterweight champion and WEC 170-pound best, Condit featured at UFC Fight Island 4 in October, securing a unanimous decision win over Court McGee over three-rounds. Following the victory, Condit expressed his interest in finally throwing down with fellow mainstay, Brown next.

Dropping his first loss after a two-fight rise, Ohio native, Brown dropped a second-round knockout defeat to upstart, Miguel Baeza at UFC Fight Night Jacksonville in May. MMA Fighting reporter, Damon Martin was first to report the news of the intriguing, targeted clash of the fan-favourites. 

Albuquerque native, Condit is set to make his stunning eighteenth Octagon appearance since his arrival from the now-defunct WEC promotion during the company merger back in April of 2009. 

The Jackson-Wink MMA mainstay is revered as one of the most poised and popular strikers in the promotion’s history, scoring a notable fifteen separate knockout and thirteen submission wins over his eighteen-year professional career.

Condit, 36, has notched highlight career triumphs over the likes of Frank Trigg, John Alessio, Hiromitsu Miura, Jake Ellenberger, Rory MacDonald, Dan Hardy, Nick Diaz, Martin Kampmann, and Thiago Alves. 

Brown, another renowned striker has himself managed an eye-catching fourteen separate knockout victories since his professional bow back in 2005. 

The Ultimate Fighter 7 feature has established a 15-11 promotional record, and a résumé which is littered with noteworthy names such as Douglas Lima, Pete Sell, Stephen Thompson, Mike Swick, Jordan Mein, Mike Pyle, Erick Silva, Tim Means, Diego Sanchez, and Ben Saunders. 

Condit and Brown were scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night Sacramento in 2013, with Brown forced from the tie due to a back injury, before the pairing was rescheduled for a UFC Fight Night Glendale event back in 2018, with Condit instead matching with Alex Oliveira on short-notice after Brown had suffered a torn ACL.

Carlos Condit

Former interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit got back to winning ways in impressive fashion last night and is now eyeing fights against his long-time rivals Matt Brown and Nick Diaz.

Condit went into his fight against Court McGee at UFC Fight Island 4 on that back of five straight defeats. The 36-year-old hadn’t tasted victory since beating Thiago Alves all the way back in 2015.

‘The Natural Born Killer’ showed no signs of poor form as he dominated McGee over three rounds, even dropping the former TUF winner with a huge, nose shattering hook at the end of round one. Condit ultimately picked up a unanimous decision win before facing media who were keen to hear about who the long-time welterweight contender wants to face next.

Matt Brown immediately took to Twitter post-fight and called for a bout against Condit. The reporters in attendance mentioned ‘Immortal’ and the soon to return Nick Diaz as potential opponents to Condit who seemed ready and will to fight whoever the UFC put in front of him.

“Either one,” Condit said. “Yeah, I mean there are a number of match-ups that are intriguing. (Nick) Diaz, Matt Brown – we’ve been slated to fight several times. I don’t know, we’ll see.

Condit has been scheduled to face Brown twice before but the fight has fallen through. ‘The Natural Born Killer’ was asked if that face would make him hesitant to sign to fight Brown a third time.

“No. Not necessarily,” Condit replied. “But, you know, bubble wrap that dude up. So we make it to the f*cking fight.
