The Goiania Arena is hosting a fight for the second time after the opening bout during the UFC Fight Night between Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson on 9 November, 2013, which was won by Belfort after a head kick in the first round.

Condit was an interim UFC welterweight champion after Canadian Georges St-Pierre decided to take a break from the sport in 2013. The 31-year-old will be hoping to seal a victory during the UFC Fight Night 67 on Saturday.

The American returns after an absence of 442 days, following a knee injury suffered during his fight with Tyron Woodley. Condit will be looking to bounce back from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a win over the "Pitbull".

What they say

Carlos Condit: "A win over Thiago would be definitely good on my resume. He's always been a top guy in the division and even though he's not ranked high right now, just because he was out for so long with injuries, I think a win over him will put me right back in title contention. Maybe one more fight, I get somebody tough, and then maybe another title show."

Thiago Alves: "I'm ready to put on a show and make a statement and get that W; it's definitely a big moment. Every time you headline a UFC show it's a big moment in any fighter's career. I'm just blessed enough to be able to headline a show here in Brazil."
