The match-up announcements for UFC on Fox 9 keep rolling out and we have two more confirmed bout. In a top ten Welterweight battle former interim UFC Welterweight champion “The Natural Born Killer” Carlos Condit (29-7) will face streaking Matt “The Immortal” Brown (18-11) and in a Lightweight showdown the bonus machine himself Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon (22-9) clashes with TUF season 6 winner Mac Dazig (21-11-1).
After a 5 fight win streak and becoming the interim UFC Welterweight champion, Condit’s winning streak would be halted by a decision loss, to returning from injury UFC champion Georges St. Pierre. The losing continued as Condit drop another decision to now Welterweight number 1 contender Johnny Hendricks. The Killer came back out of Condit as he stopped Martin Kampmann by strikes in the 4th round of the UFC Fight Night 27 main event bout.
