The championship pedigree at Arizona Combat Sports continues to grow as World Extreme Cagefighting welterweight champion Carlos Condit has officially joined the team as a full time member, joining WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner on the team roster.

Since making his debut with the WEC in January 2007, the “Natural Born Killer” has gone 5-0 while winning and defending the 170-pound title numerous times.

Condit now joins a team with a laundry list of top athletes, including several All-American level wrestlers such as Ryan Bader, C.B. Dollaway, and Aaron Simpson.

WEC 155-pound champion Jamie Varner spoke to MMAWeekly Radio recently about the work he’s done alongside Condit in their sparring sessions.

“Me and Condit, we were rolling. He sees my intensity, I see his intensity, and we were both telling each other our sparring sessions are going to be nuts,” Varner stated. “Cause neither one of us are going to give up. We both just don’t know when to quit. We go hard 100% the whole time. Somebody’s going to have to get dragged out of there.”

The gym, run by brothers Todd and Trevor Lally along with grappling coach Gustavo Dantas, has produced a number of top fighters recently and the addition of Condit only bolsters their already impressive line-up.

Condit has also signed on with LG Sports Marketing, one of the leading sports management companies in the MMA industry.

While there has been no official announcement, Condit is expected to fight sometime in early 2009, but no opponent has been named or even rumored to this point, although Brock Larson seems to be on a short list of contenders to get a shot at the welterweight gold.
