Jake is a newcomer to UFC but is coming in with 21 wins with very few losses.
Jake rocked Carlos hard TWICE in the round, causing Carlos to collapse to the ground in what looked to be a fight ending pile.

A few strikes in and Jake scores with something comparable to a judo throw to bring the fight back down to the ground. A stiff elbow from Jake breaks up the more frequent work from Condit from the bottom. Both men stand up, Condit landing some of the better strikes before Jake uses a guillatine to take the fight back to the ground. Condit is able to escape and end up in half guard. Condit looks for a choke but gives up in favor of some more strikes from the top.
Jake seems gassed as Condit takes his back and locks in the hooks with some strikes. Jake is able to slip out as Condit looked for an armbar from the back and ends up on top of Condit again.
Standing with a minute left. a takedown by Jake is stuffed and while looking for a Kamura he drives some elbows into the side of his head.
