Carlos Condit will return from a 16-month layoff to face Neil Magny in a welterweight bout at UFC 219 in Las Vegas on Dec. 30, the UFC announced Wednesday.
The former interim welterweight champ hasn't fought since losing to Demian Maia by first-round submission in August 2016. In the previous fight, Condit (30-10) battled Robbie Lawler for the welterweight title, but health concerns kept him out of action after losing to Maia.
Magny (19-6) is coming off his own first-round submission loss to Rafael dos Anjos in September at UFC 215. He's ranked 10th among welterweights while Condit sits seventh.
Three other fights have been announced for the December card, including Dominick Cruz's return against Jimmie Rivera.
