Carlos Condit took the World Extreme Cagefighting by storm in the span of two months. 'The Natural Born Killer' made a splashy debut after submitting Kyle Jensen in the first round at WEC 25.

Nine weeks later, Condit made a quick turnaround to fight for the vacant WEC welterweight crown in March 2007. On the opposite side of the cage was John Alessio, who by then was a veteran of nine years. But Condit had proven by that point that no opponent could deter him.

Alessio found success early in the fight when he completed a takedown. However, the Canadian failed to capitalize on the position as Condit swept him and successfully got back up. Alessio scored another takedown and Condit got back to his feet yet again.

Round two was the turning point of the bout as Condit noticeably grew bolder with every passing minute. 'The Natural Born Killer' loosened up and started landing strikes at a higher clip.

With 30 seconds remaining in the round, Condit hurt his opponent with a knee and secured full mount. Alessio then turned away to avoid Condit's ground strikes, but Condit sunk in a rear-naked choke. With one second left, referee John McCarthy called for a stoppage. Just like that, Condit was the new WEC welterweight champ.

After going 1-1 in his first two fights inside the octagon, Carlos Condit was given a tough assignment when squared off against previously undefeated prospect Rory MacDonald.

In 2010, MacDonald was considered by many to be the future of the welterweight division. With 10 consecutive victories under his belt, the young Canadian was given the toughest test of his career in the form of fellow newcomer Condit.

Come fight night, MacDonald lived up to expectations as he unloaded punishment onto Condit for almost the entire fight. But the youngster realized that Condit was most dangerous when his back was against the wall.

In the third round, MacDonald committed a costly error when he initiated a grappling exchange with Condit. The Albuquerque native forced MacDonald to the ground and proceeded to rain down thunderous elbow strikes as the fight clock winded down.

Condit was relentless with his attack, while MacDonald merely tried to survive the onslaught. After several unanswered shots, referee Kevin Dornan finally intervened, stopping the contest with just seven seconds left.
