UFC TM Fighter Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" has returned home to Albuquerque and will be one the guests at a special autograph session on October 17th. Condit will be signing at the Submission Ink Grappling Tournament and MMA Entertainment event which takes place as part of the three day long Rock The Ink Tattoo and Entertainment Festival (October 16-18) at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, NM. Having left his home town of Albuquerque for training in Arizona, Carlos has made his way back home to Albuquerque and will now continue his training at the world famous Jackson's MMA gym.
Fresh off of a split decision victory over Jake Ellenberger at UFC Fight Night 19, Condit is looking to build from this win and climb the ladder in the UFC's stacked welterweight division. Condit is the former WEC TM Welterweight Champion and has beat some of the very best fighters in the world including Renato Verissimo, Frank Trigg, John Alessio and many others. Condit had his amazing eight fight winning streak snapped by Martin Kampman in Condit's UFC debut, but is now back in the win column and looking to face the best that the UFC welterweight division has to offer. This will be Condit's first appearance back in Albuquerque so come meet Carlos Condit October 17th and welcome him back home.
In addition to Carlos Condit, Greg Jackson will be on hand for a special book signing of his book "The Stand Up Game." The special MMA Autograph Session will also feature season 10 competitor James McSweeney of the Reality TV show "The Ultimate Fighter". McSweeney won his first bout on the show against former NFL player Wes Shivers and could possibly face the internet sensation Kimbo Slice if Slice makes his way back into the competition to fill in for an injured fighter. The autograph session takes place inside an MMA cage so fans get the full MMA experience complete with Ring Card girls.
Also taking place on October 17th is the Submission Ink grappling tournament with all of the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling Academies in the area set to compete. For more information visit BostonBrawler.com
