It looks like Carlos Condit won’t be making the walk to fight Mickey Gall at UFC on ESPN 7 this December. The two welterweights were set for the Washington, D.C. card from the Capital One Arena before news broke that Condit has been forced out.

MMA Junkie was first to report the news. The details behind the nature of Condit’s pull out are unknown as of this writing. The 35-year-old is on a five-fight losing streak at the moment. He last fought in December of 2018 when he was bested by Michael Chiesa via second-round submission.

He was to take on Gall, who has won two of his last four fights inside the Octagon. In Gall’s last appearance, he topped Salim Touahri via unanimous decision back in August. Now, Gall is without an opponent for December, but the UFC is expected to find a replacement for him to fight.

Gall earned his claim to fame when he became the man to welcome ex-WWE star CM Punk to the UFC, easily defeating Punk with a first-round submission. He went on to defeat Sage Northcutt, before suffering losses to Randy Brown and Diego Sanchez.

What do you think about Condit being forced out of his fight against Gall?

Gall bounced back from his TKO defeat to Diego Sanchez by outpointing Salim Touahri earlier this month. A potential win over Condit would undoubtedly be the biggest of his career.

As for Condit, the former interim welterweight champion is on a five-fight losing skid, having most recently been submitted by Michael Chiesa at UFC 232 last year.

Here’s how the UFC DC card is shaping up so far:

  • Heavyweight: Alistair Overeem vs. Walt Harris
  • Welterweight: Carlos Condit vs. Mickey Gall
  • Women’s bantamweight: Aspen Ladd vs. Yana Kunitskaya
  • Women’s strawweight: Claudia Gadelha vs. Cynthia Calvillo
  • Heavyweight: Stefan Struve vs. Ben Rothwell
  • Women’s strawweight: Cortney Casey vs. Virna Jandiroba

What do you think of the card so far? Do you think Condit will go back to winning ways?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Carlos Condit – “The Natural Born Killer” – is set to make a return to the UFC against Mickey Gall on December 7, at UFC Washington DC, reports MMA Junkie.

The action takes place from the Capital One Arena and will be headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris. During Condit’s career, he shared the Octagon with the likes of Georges St-Pierre, Robbie Lawler, Nick Diaz, Tyron Woodley, and many more. He currently trains at JacksonWink MMA alongside the likes of Holly Holm and Jon Jones.

The last time the “Killer” saw action was during UFC 232, where he lost to Michael Chiesa via submission, in the welterweight division. Condit has a total of 43 matches – 30 wins, 13 losses. His last five fights were consecutive loses. Not exactly promising, compared to his opponent, who’s currently one of the more promising prospects in the sport.

Gall, famous for his early-career wins against former professional wrestling star CM Punk and Sage Northcutt, is seen as one of the highest rising fighters in the UFC. He was recuperating from a recent loss against Diego Sanchez at UFC 235. He got back in the win column with a decision against Salim Touahri, at UFC Newark.

Now, Gall will face off against Condit in what will no doubt be the most difficult test of his MMA career. Check out the updated UFC DC card below:

  • Heavyweight: Alistair Overeem vs. Walt Harris
  • Welterweight: Carlos Condit vs. Mickey Gall
  • Women’s bantamweight: Aspen Ladd vs. Yana Kunitskaya
  • Women’s strawweight: Claudia Gadelha vs. Cynthia Calvillo
  • Heavyweight: Stefan Struve vs. Ben Rothwell
  • Women’s strawweight: Cortney Casey vs. Virna Jandiroba
