6) Carlos Condit
Carlos Condit stole the welterweight interim title at UFC 143 by landing the most leg kicks in UFC history against Nick Diaz. It was a high-end, competitive scrap for the entire 25-minutes. Sure, it wasn’t the all-out war expected from those two, but it was still damn good. The performance spoiled a Georges St-Pierre-Diaz super-fight (at least temporarily) and entered the former WEC champion into St-Pierre’s comeback fight at UFC 154. “The Natural Born Killer” was promptly bloodied and dominated, but a head kick in the third frame nearly captured the New Mexican the undisputed title, making for two dramatic title bouts for Condit in 2012.
