Yuki Kondo (近藤 有己 , Kondō Yūki, [kondoː jɯːki] ; born July 17, 1975) is a Japanese mixed martial artist currently competing in the Welterweight division. He has officially 103 professional fights, making him one of the most experienced mixed martial artists ever.

He is the former Pancrase Light Heavyweight Champion as well as the former Pancrase Middleweight Champion.

Kondo made his professional debut for the Pancrase organization in Japan in early 1996 when he was 21 years old at the Pancrase: Truth 1. His decision to compete for Pancrase was heavily influenced by Masakatsu Funaki being the co-founder, as Kondo looked up to the professional wrestler Funaki. Kondo won his debut by a guillotine choke submission in the first round and would go to reach a 7-0-1 record, before he was handed his first career loss by Jason DeLucia in a decision. He would then defeat DeLucia in a rematch via toe hold submission. All but one of Kondo's first 38 career fights were under the Pancrase banner, and he held a record of 31-4-3 with wins over Minoru Suzuki, Semmy Schilt (3x), Keiichiro Yamamiya (2x), Pete Williams, Guy Mezger, Masakatsu Funaki (3x), Ikuhisa Minowa, Jason DeLucia, Kazuo Takahashi, and Manabu Yamada before making his UFC debut.
