UFC welterweight is preparing for his big return to the octagon after being sidelined due to injury.

Condit, who’s a teammate of former UFC champion Jon Jones, recently spoke on The MMA Hour about his pending return and of course about Jones, who is going through the struggles of dealing with his legal issues and being stripped of his title and suspended by the UFC.

Here’s what Condit had to say about ‘Bones’:

“Jon’s been around the gym a little bit, which is good. I like to see him down there. It’s a crazy situation that he’s going to have to deal with. I think having him in gym doing what he does best, training and trying to keep that side of his life going, is a good thing. [I] Talked to him briefly, but not about incident but about situation. He said, I’ll be back, I’m going to be back. I believe him, there’s no doubt. I think there’s a good chance. In his mind he’s fighting again.”
