UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley’s last two title defenses, a pair of tepid decision wins over Stephen Thompson and Demian Maia, have generated quite a bit of criticism, as many fans feel he could have done more to pursue a finish over his foes. UFC welterweight contender Carlos Condit, who will return from a long hiatus to battle Neil Magny at UFC 219<\/a> this December 30, understands these criticisms against Woodley.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can definitely see where the critics are coming from,\u201d Condit explained on the latest edition of The MMA Hour<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re athletes but we\u2019re also entertainers, people buy the pay-per-view to be entertained. That\u2019s part of this. This is show business. I know that winning is super important and a gameplan is super important, but at some point you have to, this is the hurt business and you gotta try to put your opponent out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know he\u2019s obviously a super, super talented dude,\u201d Condit continued. \u201cI did watch the last fight against Maia. I felt like he, at a time where he really could have turned it on and tried to finish, he didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Condit, of course, has fought Woodley before, losing to him via leg injury back in 2014. While he has certainly thought about a rematch with Woodley for the belt, his main priority is simply returning to competition.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI don\u2019t I don\u2019t really think about it all that much,” he said of a do-over with Woodley. “I\u2019m really looking at small, incremental things right now. That\u2019s big picture, but for now it\u2019s really just getting back in fight shape, getting firing on all cylinders, getting my weapons sharp again, that\u2019s my thought process and my priority.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
