After regaining his King of the Cage welterweight title earlier this year, Joshua Aveles has set out to prove himself one of the best 170-pound fighters around. Most recently Aveles took a step towards proving himself with a complete performance over Joe Condon at KOTC: Slugfest in early June. In a fight that found him using his complete game, Aveles defeated Condon via unanimous decision and picked up his second win in a row in 2014. “I did everything I needed to do in my stand-up, and when (Condon) took me down a couple of times and I was on my back I wasn’t worried,” said Aveles. “I pretty much dominated the fight on the feet and I know my ground game is becoming just as good as my stand-up, so when I was taken down, I wasn’t in any danger.” While Aveles was able to show that he’s becoming a complete fighter over the course of five rounds, he admits, winning via decision doesn’t always pay off. “It has its pros and cons,” said Aveles.
