Carlos Condit Targeting UFC Return for March or April

Carlos Condit Targeting UFC Return for March or April

Former interim UFC welterweight champion Carlos Condit has been on the sidelines ever since tearing his ACL and meniscus in a losing effort against Tyron Woodley at UFC 171 in March.

He’s now on the mend, and targeting a return sometime around March or April of 2015.

“I’ve basically been cleared to start doing some sparring and training as long as it is light. I have to be cautious of anything explosive movement-wise or doing anything too quickly. I can run, hit mitts, and do plenty of other things. I just can’t go 100-percent on anything yet,” Condit told Bleacher Report recently.

“I can do jiu-jitsu from the ground, but I have to be careful with explosive takedowns and things like that.”

Condit doesn’t currently have his eye on any specific opponent or event, but if he doesn’t suffer any setbacks, he has a tentative timeline in place for his return.

“Right now, I'm looking at getting back into the cage in March or April. That’s the plan and I’m working hard to make that happen.”
