The UFC traveled to Brazil for the third time this year on Saturday with UFC Fight Night 67 at Goiania Arena in the Brazilian city of Goiania.
In the FOX Sports 1-televised main event, Carlos Condit (30-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) picked up his first UFC victory since August 2013 with a second-round TKO of Brazil’s own Thiago Alves (21-10 MMA, 13-7 UFC). “The Natural Born Killer” was sidelined due to an injury for more than a year, but he returned with a strong performance.
The win pushed Condit further up the list in several meaningful statistical categories, but he wasn’t the only one to accomplish a feat of note. For more on the numbers behind the UFC’s latest fight card, here are 45 post-fight facts about UFC Fight Night 67.
