As of now, the UFC is yet to officially announce the fight card for the 3rd October event. However, despite there beino official word on the announcement of a location, the event is expected to take place on the UFC Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.

36-year-old Carlos Condit has not won a fight since May 2015 and has only won two fights since winning the interim UFC Welterweight Championship by beating Nick Diaz in November 2012. 'The Natural Born Killer' is currently 2-8 in his last 10 fights and has lost against the likes of Robbie Lawler, Demian Maia, Neil Magny, Alex Oliveira, and Michael Chiesa.

With the addition of Carlos Condit vs Court McGee, the UFC on October 3rd card includes the following fights:

  • Holly Holm vs. Irene Aldana
  • Germaine de Randamie vs. Julianna Pena
  • Andrei Arlovski vs. Tanner Boser
  • Jinh Yu Frey vs. Loma Lookboonmee
  • Yorgan De Castro vs. Carlos Felipe
  • Beneil Dariush vs. Charles Oliveira
  • Carlos Condit vs. Court McGee

Condit was initially set for a return to the Octagon in December 2019 against Mickey Gall as part of UFC on ESPN 7. However, the former was eventually forced to pull out of the fight due to an injury and this led to the bout being called off completely. Condit will look to mark his return with a convincing win this time around.
