Following a vicious performance on Saturday night, former interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit stated his case for an immediate title shot against the UFC 189 co-main event winner.
As a fighter who had not won a fight since August 2013 and was sidelined for over a year thereafter, Carlos Condit certainly fought as though he was making up for lost time. Faced with talented striker Thiago Alves in Saturday night's main event, Condit turned up the heat in the second round and produced a one-sided beating that morphed into a bloodbath.
It was a pair of elbows in the second round that caused much of the damage.
