'The Natural Born Killer' sent a message to the Welterweight Division on this day in 2015.
By this point in his career, Carlos Condit had already established himself as a fan favorite that would go into the UFC history.
The always entertaining competitor had several highlights under his belt with his knockout victory on Dan Hardy, interim title victory against Nick Diaz and the subsequent title Unification Clash with Georges St-Pierre striking.
After he fell short against St-Pierre, the condition struggled to regain his foot at the top of the 170 pound division.
A loss for Tyron Woodley in March 2014 because of a leg injury would force him to stay inactive for more than a year, but when he returned, Condit made up for the lost time.
Carlos Condit put Thiago Alves in two rounds after he had hit his nose with a devastating elbow
The return of Carlos Condit was booked for the main event of the journey from the UFC to Goiânia, Brazil on 30 May, where he faced Thiago Alves.
Alves had been in and out of the win column for a while, but at one point he was the most feared striker in the Welterweight Division.
Before he challenged Georges St-Pierre for the title on UFC 100, Alves won five fights in a row via knockout and to this day he has the good weight record for most knockdowns on 13.
Both men exchanged strikes in the opening round with the commentary team refer to the way in which condition tends to build as the fight continues.
The unpredictable battle of the former interim champion caused considerable damage at the start of the second round where Alves was fell due to a large elbow that immediately seemed to break his nose.
Condit donated the pressure for the rest of the round and wore a lot of his opponent's blood while the Brazilian kept shooting back.
The interruption between rounds showed the extent of the damage, because after all the blood had been swept from Alves' face, it turned out that his nose had been pushed up with Jon Anik who called it “mutilated”.
Referee Mario Yamasaki called a stop to the promotion after following advice from the doctor with a condition that returned to the Octagon in style.

After Lawler defended the belt against Rory Macdonald in a classic fight on UFC 189, his next opponent would be promised.
The two men waged five rounds in the war on UFC 195 with Lawler who came at the top of a collision that will certainly go into the UFC Hall of Fame at a certain moment.
