The 37-year-old has hinted at retirement in the past as his manager revealed in 2016, Condit thought about retiring due to brain damage. His manager spoke openly about that, but “The Natural Born Killer” kept fighting for five more years.

“Right now he’s just taking his time and thinking about it,” Kawa said to Chael Sonnen about Condit back in 2016. “He’s going to review it, see how he feels and see’s whether or not he wakes up and stuff is going on. He’ll go get his head checked and see if his brain is perfectly fine, normal, and then maybe he may say I want one more fight.”

Carlos Condit (32-14) ends his career on a decision loss to Max Griffin at UFC 264.
