Carlos Condit Aiming To Return At UFC 187 In May
One of the most exciting welterweights in the UFC today, six-time bonus winner and former interim champion Carlos Condit has finally got a return date. “The Natural Born Killer” suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and partially torn meniscus in his last outing, a UFC 171 outing against Tyron Woodley, and has been sidelined following surgery since.
Speaking during a recent video interview with MMAWeekly, Condit outlines his timetable for return:
“I don’t have a fight just booked, but I do have a target date, I am going to try to get on the card here in May in Vegas. I don’t think the headline has been announced, that’s my timeline. “I don’t have an opponent in mind,” stated Carlos. “My division is pretty matched up at this point, so we’ll see how those fights play out and I’ll have a better idea.”
“The rehab is long and tedious, but I am back and I’m training at 100-percent. I feel good,”
One fight that needs to happen, for my money, is a rematch with Tyron Woodley. “The Chosen One” was recently seen eeking by Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 183, and I don’t feel like the injury TKO he scored against Condit last year was convincing in any way.
Carlos Condit beat Nick Diaz for the interim belt during Georges St-Pierre’s absence from the division, losing a decision once “Rush” returned. Many felt his decision loss to Johnny Hendricks could have gone either way, and “NBK” still resides at the #4 spot in the rankings even with his near-year long absence from fighting.
Who would you like to see “The Natural Born Killer” take on upon his anticipated return?

Condit vs. Matt Brown???
Can't wait. One of my all time favorites. Was so pumped when they originally scheduled that fight. Hopefully the ufc makes it happen and they both stay healthy till then. vu
Huge NBK fan here, but don't see the need for the T-Wood rematch yet. Woodley won the 1st, hurt him in the 2nd with the TD and finished him with a legkick. Props to Woodley, he won fair and square; let their paths cross later.
Condit vs Alves please!
Been a big fan of Condit for some time now. Glad to see he's 100% and has a target date set.
I'm sure he's improved in some weak areas also. Will be anticipating his next fight whoever it may be against.

Props to Woodley, he won fair and square; let their paths cross later.I disagreed with almost everything you said, but then you suggested Condit/Alves, so I kind of love you.
Condit vs Alves please!
You want to fight in May?
No problems. We will book you in for the main event of UFC Fight Night Wilmington vs Seth Baczynski in December.
