Carlos Condit on saying he wouldn’t come back if he didn’t get the title shot: “I didn’t get the shot, but I still want to fight and I feel a win over Maia puts me right back in title contention.”

Condit on what drove the retirement talk: “I’ve been at this for a long time and I got to look at some other things I can do to make a living. I can’t fight forever. But I still have a little bit of time left. I love what I do, so I decided to give it a little more time.”
