10 Most Violent Fighters In UFC History
9. Carlos Condit
When a fighter has a nickname like the Natural Born Killer, it sets certain expectations about how they fight. Luckily for MMA fans, Carlos Condit has more than lived up to his nickname, by putting on some of the most savage performances the welterweight division has ever seen.
Hailing out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Condit has been a mainstay at 170lb due to his incredible all-action style of fighting. The thing that made the former UFC interim welterweight champion so dangerous was that he could, and would, attack from every conceivable angle.
If the fight stayed on the feet, he would light his opponents up with a barrage of punches, kicks, elbows and knees. At UFC 132, Condit managed to keep judoka, Dong Hyun Kim, from taking him down, instead peppering him with hard strikes before landing a crushing flying knee that knocked the South Korean fighter out cold.
He was just as vicious on the ground too, as he's been known to latch onto chokes and armbars as soon as his opponents give him an opening. However, to see Condit at his very best, you'd need to watch his brilliant, come-from-behind battle with Rory MacDonald.
Despite being outclassed in the first two rounds, Condit somehow managed to up his game in the last round and pummel MacDonald until the referee stepped in. It was a classic gutsy and brutal performance that perfectly encapsulates him as a fighter.
