Carlos Condit
Career overview
Carlos Condit, an Orthodox-stance welterweight from the United States standing 6'2" with a 75-inch reach, compiled a 32-14-0 professional record as a volume striker with submission threat. Over his career, Condit averaged 3.66 strikes landed per minute with 39% accuracy while absorbing 2.67 strikes per minute and defending 55% of incoming strikes.
His grappling remained a secondary tool, averaging 0.59 takedowns per 15 minutes at 46% accuracy but proving dangerous on the mat with 1.0 submission attempt per 15 minutes. Recent fight history shows mixed results: Condit earned a split-decision victory over Jake Ellenberger in September 2009, followed by a devastating first-round knockout of Dan Hardy in October 2010, but faced elite competition losses to Georges St-Pierre via unanimous decision in November 2012 and Tyron Woodley via second-round TKO in March 2014.
He rebounded with a doctor's stoppage TKO against Thiago Alves in May 2015 and a unanimous decision over Court McGee in October 2020, posting a 5-3 record across his eight most recent bouts. Condit's career trajectory reflects the wear of competing at the highest welterweight level during an era dominated by elite strikers and wrestlers.
