American mixed martial artist, competing in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Carlos Condit has been medically cleared and may now resume his training in the MMA.

Condit was fighting against Tyron Woodley in March when he received a leg kick which had his knees giving in and also his fight. A double leg take down from Woodley in the second twisted Condit's right knee in an awkward way and the fighter out of Albuquerque yelled out and grimaced in pain.

Right after that fateful fight, Condit has been cleared for light MMA training and hopes to return in Spring. He said "Right now, I'm looking at getting back into the cage in March or April. That's the plan and I'm working hard to make that happen."

He adds "I've basically been cleared to start doing some sparring and training as long as it is light. I have to be cautious of anything explosive movement-wise or doing anything too quickly. I can run, hit mitts and do plenty of other things. I just can't go 100 percent on anything yet. I can do jiu-jitsu from the ground but I have to be careful with explosive takedowns and things like that. All of my training partners have been great and know I'm not 100 percent right now, so they've been able to get their work in without putting my knee in danger."

Condit said that mentally, the recovery was very hard even may be so, much harder than the physical one. He said "Balancing the mental aspect of recovery is tough. At some points I'm sure I've pushed too far or too hard and I'm lucky nothing happened. Then I would have to dial it back, but it's definitely a fine line to walk. I'm trying to get back to health and even better than I was before, but also trying not to injure myself or extend my time off in the process."

Condit is the former interim UFC Welterweight Champion and a former WEC Welterweight Champion. As of August 3, 2014, he is #3 in official UFC welterweight rankings.[2] 27 of Condit's 29 wins have come by way of knockout or submission.
