Carlos Condit has given us many exciting and violent moments in his 19-year career. He has been fighting in professional MMA since 2002. The fighter has a record of 32-14-0 in his glorious career. He has managed to win the interim welterweight belt and also the WEC welterweight belt in his amazing career. The “Natural Born Killer” is 37 years old.

Condit managed to defend his WEC belt three times successfully before WEC was absorbed by the UFC. In the UFC after his debut loss, he stacked up to five consecutive wins. His fifth fight in that streak was the biggest win of his career against Nick Diaz for the UFC interim title. Condit, later on, went to lose the unifier bout against Georges St-Pierre at UFC 154 in one of the most violent fights ever.
