Carlos Joseph Condit (born April 26, 1984) is an American mixed martial artist, competing in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Condit is the former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion and WEC Welterweight Champion. As of May 31, 2015, he is #4 in official UFC welterweight rankings. 28 of Condit's 30 wins have come by way of knockout or submission. He has never been knocked out or stopped due to strikes; Condit's only TKO loss came by injury.

Condit formerly fought in the UFC's sister promotion, World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), where he was the final Welterweight Champion. He also competed for both Shootboxing and Pancrase in Japan.

Condit now trains at Jackson's Submission Fighting out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Condit attended Cibola High School on Albuquerque's West Side. He began wrestling at the age of nine and continued throughout high school, and started training in Gaidojutsu under Greg Jackson at fifteen.

Carlos Condit turned professional at eighteen years old, taking less than a minute to submit Nick Roscorta with a rear-naked choke in his debut in Juárez, Mexico on September 6, 2002. He also won his next four fights in the first round, with only one going past the one-minute mark, before tasting defeat for the first time, albeit under the shoot boxing ruleset, in his international debut. He faced off with ninety-five fight veteran and Shoot Boxing World Tournament 2002 champion Andy Souwer in Tokyo, Japan on September 23, 2003, losing by technical knockout with seventeen seconds left of the fight after being knocked down three times in the fifth and final round.
