UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Alves full fight video highlights

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Following a lackluster fight night event that featured only a handful of enthralling fights, the main event showcased the return of the ‘Natural Born Killer’ Carlos Condit, who carved Thiago Alves a new face in the final fight of the night.

Check out Tim Burke’s play-by-play for the fight:

Round 2 – Alves leads with what else? A leg kick. Big left from Condit drops Alves! Condit jumped into mount and opened up with punches. Alves rolled to his back and his nose is leaking bloody.
