Robbie Lawler, Carlos Condit Gave Us the Greatest Welterweight Fight of All

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight title came down to an unforgettable 25-minute brawl against Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit during UFC 195 in which Lawler earned enough points to win the split decision and keep the championship, according to MMA Fighting.

“I was a little oxygen deprived”, Condit said.

Despite all the action, Lawler said he came out of the fight healthy and welcomes a rematch.

Condit loss to Lawler via split decision with two judges awarding the latter a 48-47 score. Obviously indicating that he believes he is ready for a title shot against the victor of the upcoming heavyweight championship fight between current champion Fabricio Werdum and number one contender Cain Velasquez, Miocic was ecstatic with the victory.

Condit has an analytical mind and doesn’t necessarily do or say things without a objective. Because of this, I think the fight is going to come down to experience, intelligence, and toughness.

He had previously held the WEC championship and the UFC interim belt.

I don’t know. I feel like tonight was kind of a do-or-die moment for my career and I was all in. I was all in.

“If I didn’t, like I didn’t, I have to see if I can continue to do this”.

But the main event was exciting from the first round, with Condit briefly sending Lawler reeling across the canvas with a few early punches.

Although he initially spoke of a preference to fight Condit again, Lawler backed off that statement at the post-fight press conference. Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit put forth an effort worthy of being called perhaps probably the greatest fifth round in UFC, or even MMA history. The third round was the only one in dispute on the judges’ scorecards, with Lawler getting the nod on two cards despite Condit’s 22 strikes to Lawler’s 10, which included a vicious elbow. You want to go out there and you want to be sharp and you want to execute your game plan and go out there and get it done fast. Either way, Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit exceeded the hype given to tonight’s fight. That’s how some of the great fights are.

Saturday’s bout wasn’t at that level, but it will take a monumental fight to knock it off as the best match of 2016.

And that tone was a attractive symphony of violence conducted by two of the most entertaining composers to ever do it.

He’s [Lawler] our Evander Holyfield.
