him to retire but it is understandable. He has
been in many epic, brutal battles in his career
which will have taken their toll on the fighter.
With over 40 fights in total, he has been one of
the most active fighters in the UFC. He is now
a family man and wants to make sure he can
enjoy life in his later years.
Condit went on to say, “I still love what I do, I
still have a lot of fight left in me. From a look-
ing long-term, I have to do what is right for my
health, for my family, things have been difficult
the last couple years, my wife has had some
health problems that are relatively major, and,
you know, these fights are super stressful. Like
I said, I absolutely love what I do. I’ve got to do
what’s right for my family. I’m still weighing my
options now.”
Condit has not spoken about the possible re-
match yet with UFC bosses. The fighter is in no
rush to make a decision about his future in the
octagon. He spent over six-month training for
his last fight which turned out to be a war. It
is likely the fighter will not be able to resist the
chance to compete for the title again, which is
why many punters have put free bets on it hap-
pening.
After watching the tapes of his last fight on
more than one occasion, Condit believes he
should have been handed the win. The fighter
acknowledges how close it was but thinks that
he just did enough to get the result and thinks
many fight fans agree with him. Fans who put
free bets on him winning were furious as they
lost out.
The scoring system has been im-
plemented, does not work well
with mixed martial arts. There
have been many occasions that
the scoring system has failed,
and the wrong fighter won the
fight. It is why UFC President
Dana White, always tells fight-
ers not to leave it in the hands
of the judges. If Condit does en-
ter the octagon again, it would
be worth searching for the best
free bets on him being success-
ful the second time around.
