Perhaps no other fighter in the UFC lives up to their nickname quite so well as Carlos Condit. Known as ‘The Natural Born Killer’, Condit came over from the WEC in 2009 with a reputation for saying very little, mean-mugging his opponents prior to the fight and then simply destroying them inside the cage with a ferocity largely unseen in MMA.

It was practically a given that Condit would become a massively popular fighter inside the UFC, and over the next decade, the Albuquerque native has indeed reached those heights. Despite his career slowing down at this point, when the fans see Condit’s name on a card, they know it’s basically going to be a must-watch fight.

Condit’s wars with the likes of Jake Ellenberger, Martin Kampmann, Johny Hendricks and Georges St-Pierre are amongst the greatest UFC fights ever, and in 2016 he put on an instant classic with Robbie Lawler, a five-round war that had every fan watching on their feet in applause. The UFC is a violent place, and there are few fighters more violent than Carlos Condit – which is why he’s so beloved.
