CARLOS CONDIT has branded Court McGee a savage despite beating the Crusher at UFC Fight Island 4 last night.
The judges’ scores were 30-27 across the board as Condit won by unanimous decision – after breaking McGee’s nose in the first round.
Asked whether McGee’s nose became a target in the latter stages of the fight, the Natural Born Killer explained how he watched the TUF 11 winner recorrect his injury mid-fight.
Asked whether, McGee’s nose became a target in the latter stages of the fight, Condit said: “Well this dude fixed it himself, he’s a f***ing savage.
“I think I forgot about it because it wasn’t crooked any more.
“But dude, what a gangster.”
Condit showed flashes of his prime in an all-action encounter with McGee, who kept the fight competitive despite losing all three rounds.
The win was Condit’s first since a TKO against Thiago Alves in May 2015, and snapped a five-fight losing streak.

Condit said: “It’s been a long one, I’ve had some ups and downs.
“Next step forward, whatever it is, keep working, focus on what I’ve got to do. Take care of business.”
