UFC 171 results: Carlos Condit's knee buckles for Tyron Woodley TKO win

DALLAS – Tyron Woodley got the stoppage, but probably not the way he wanted. After a spirited first round, a knee injury to Carlos Condit brought an end to a competitive bout at 2:00 of Round 2, resulting in a TKO win for Woodley.

The welterweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC 171 event at American Airlines Center in Dallas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 2 and UFC Fight Pass.

The initial injury seemed to occur when Woodley took Condit down early in the second round. Condit could be seen wincing in pain as he held Condit in his guard. When the fight returned to the feet, Woodley kicked Condit in the left leg, causing him to spin around onto his right, which appeared to buckle under the strain. Condit went down in a heap, clutching his knee, and that was it.

It’s an unfortunate end for several reasons, but it was a solid performance by Woodley up to that point as well. He pasted Condit with several hard rights in the first round, at one point knocking him almost all the way across the octagon. When he took Condit down in the second, he told UFC color commentator Joe Rogan after the bout, he heard Condit yelp in pain. That’s when he knew something was hurt and resolved to “keep chopping.”

Condit (29-8 MMA, 6-4 UFC) has now lost three of his last four in the UFC. Woodley (13-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) has won two in a row.
