Carlos Condit ended a two-fight losing skid at UFC Fight Night 27 with a vicious fourth round TKO victory over Martin Kampmann. Previously, Condit had lost back-to-back decisions against UFC welterweight champion Georges St Pierre and current #1 contender, Johny Hendricks. After losing a razor-thin split decision against Kampmann in his debut, Condit rattled off five straight victories to earn a shot at UFC gold in November of last year.

Matt Brown’s unexpected tear through the UFC’s welterweight division continued at UFC Fight Night 26 with a 29-second knockout victory over Mike Pyle. He’s now won six straight fights, including four straight knockout victories over Luis Ramos, Mike Swick, Jordan Mein, and Pyle.

Joe Lauzon is in a must-win situation to stay among the elite in the 155-pound division, following back-to-back decision losses to Jim Miller and Michael Johnson. His last victory came at UFC on FOX 4, submitting Jamie Varner in the third round of a “Fight of the Year” candidate.

Despite going just 3-7 in his last ten fights, Ultimate FIghter season six winner, Mac Danzig will get another opportunity to pick up a win inside the octagon. Most recently, Danzig suffered a brutal second round knockout defeat to Melvin Guillard at UFC on FOX 8. The loss was his second consecutive loss, including a split decision defeat to Takanori Gomi in November of last year.

Brendan Schaub looks to rebound from back-t0-back knockout losses, from the hands of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Ben Rothwell. Before the loss to Nogueira, Schaub had a four-fight win streak, which included wins over Chris Tuchscherer, Gabriel Gonzaga, and Mirko Cro Cop.

Mike Swick returned to action for the first time in nearly two and half years following a string of injuries and ailments. In his return at UFC on Fox 4, he earned a stunning knockout victory over DaMarques Johnson which earned him the “Knockout of the Night” bonus. Before his long layoff, he lost two fights in a row to Dan Hardy and Paulo Thiago.

Matt Brown was on the brink of getting cut from the UFC after a 1-4 stint from March of 2010 to November of 2011. He has since turned his career around with three consecutive victories, including TKO wins over Chris Cope and Luis Ramos, and and a decision victory over Stephen Thompson.
