Three other bouts were also confirmed for the bill: Sam Alvey vs. Kevin Casey at middleweight; Shane Campbell vs. Felipe Silva at lightweight and Adam Hunter vs. Ryan Janes at middleweight.
Condit, 32, is coming off a contentious split-decision defeat to Robbie Lawler at UFC 195 in January. “The Natural Born Killer” briefly contemplated retirement following the loss. He has compiled a 3-4 record since 2012 with wins over the likes of Nick Diaz, Martin Kampmann and Thiago Alves.
Maia, meanwhile, has won five fights in a row and is 8-2 overall since moving from middleweight to welterweight. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist’s current streak includes dominant triumphs over Matt Brown, Gunnar Nelson and Neil Magny.
