En match i welterviktsklassen mellan Carlos Condit (29-8 MMA, 6-3 UFC) och Thiago Alves (21-9 MMA, 13-6 UFC) ska enligt rykten planeras till en av UFC-galor under sommaren. Detta enligt Ariel Helwani, som berättade om ryktena under gårdagens avsnitt av UFC Tonight.
I spoke to Thiago Alves, who’s coming off a very big win over Jordan Mein at UFC 183. I asked him who he wants to fight next, and he says Carlos Condit, around late May, early June. That’s a fight a lot of people have been asking for, for a long time. I’m told Carlos Condit is interested in that fight as well, and I’m also told the UFC is interested in that fight. I think that would be a very important fight in the 170-pound division.
Alves har sedan comebacken efter det långa skadeuppehållet, UFC vunnit två raka matcher, där den senaste var en TKO-vinst mot Jordan Mein.
Condit har inte gått match sedan förlusten mot Tyron Woodley i mars 2014, där han skadade sitt knä.
