Carlos Condit's UFC 171 bout against Tyron Woodley is full of heavy implications.
If he is able to beat his fellow First Round Management stablemate, he'll earn a shot at the welterweight championship that will be decided in the main event between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler. Condit is a former WEC champion and UFC interim champion, but he fell short in his shot at unifying the belts against Georges St-Pierre.
But with St-Pierre on hiatus from the sport, the top of the division is wide open. Condit told Bleacher Report last week that it is an opportunity for others, including him, to make a statement. The brass ring is available for the taking, and Condit is one of many top welterweights who are hoping to grab it.
Over the course of the last few years, he has vaulted from virtual unknown to one of the more recognizable fighters in the division. He is also one of the most exciting fighters in the sport, thrilling fans with few exceptions.
How did he get here? Today, we take a look at the five biggest moments from the career of "The Natural Born Killer."
