Tag: Matt Brown

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.

Who do you want to see Carlos Condit fight next?

Matt Brown and Carlos Condit have been booked to fight each other multiple times, but unfortunately, the matchup never came to fruition. The two were initially set to clash at UFC on FOX 9, and then at UFC on FOX 29, both bookings eventually falling through.

Now, Brown is set to end a two-year layoff and return to the Octagon against Ben Saunders at UFC 245 this December. Then, Condit will fight Mickey Gall at UFC on ESPN 7 in Washington. Speaking to MMA Fighting, Brown discussed why the UFC didn’t match up he and Condit one more time to try and make the scrap finally happen.

“I have no idea,” Brown said. “You’d know better than me. I actually don’t know. All I did was reply yes to an email from (UFC matchmaker) Sean Shelby, and I didn’t even look at who the opponent was. I saw, ‘Do you want to fight?’ That was in the subject line, and I just said yes.”

Of course, the matchup isn’t impossible, and can still happen at some point down the line. Brown says things will have to be reassessed after their respective fights at the end of the year, and perhaps the matchup can finally go down in 2020.

“Of course (I’m interested),” Brown said. “I think me and Carlos we’ve been right here the whole time, and I think we’re in a little bit of different spots now. It certainly would have been better a few years ago. It seems like I get hurt every time we’re supposed to fight, but we’ll kind of see where he’s at after he fights Mickey.

“We’ll see where Mickey’s at, we’ll see where Carlos is at, we’ll see where I’m at and everybody. We’re all in our own piece of the division right now. There’s a whole other part of the division that we need to be focused on. The fights between all of us are fun fights that are kind of building towards something bigger. We’ll have a lot figured out around the December time frame.

“Hopefully everybody gets some money and all of our kids can have a good Christmas and have a Happy New Year, get back to training and bust each other’s noses up next year.”
