the phase of Carlos Condit in the UFC, it's definitely not good. The former interim welterweight champion (up to 77,1 kg.) has accumulated four defeats in a row and, last Saturday (14), was submitted by the Brazilian Alex Cowboy at UFC Glendale. At 34 years old and with 42 fights as a professional, the American is considering hanging up his gloves.

In a long message written on his Instagram account, Condit thanked the Brazilian for accepting the fight at the last minute and leaving the future open. 'The Natural Born Killer' guarantees that, despite loving the sport, he considers that his time 'may have passed'.
“…I posted a lot of photos looking like a badass guy. Triumphant and powerful... But here is the other side, crumpled and weak in defeat. Hard day at work.
F**k I had fun. I trained hard, came to fight and left everything in the octagon. Much respect to my opponent and his team. Thanks for taking the fight on short notice. Congratulations and good luck in the future.
I don't know what's next... I still love this sport, and most days I still feel that fire, I absolutely love what I do, but maybe my time has passed. I do not know the answer. This is what I know, this is my passion. I'll never stop training, and if it gets me back in the Octagon, you know I'll try to make you bleed." Condit wrote.
In his MMA career, Carlos Condit has accumulated 30 wins and 12 losses as a professional. The American already held the interim welterweight belt during his retirement from Georges St Pierre, in 2012, but lost in the title unification in the duel that was considered GSP's toughest. He even returned to compete for the reign in the division, at UFC 195, in January 2016. In a new epic battle, he ended up being defeated by Robbie Lawler in the judges' divided decision
