Best Memes of Carlos Condit Robbed by Robbie Lawler

“I don’t care about being overshadowed”, Lawler said.

He said he’d love to do a rematch, but noted at the post-fight news conference that ultimately it’s up to UFC president Dana White to decide. Condit also found success in the second round, but suffered the fight’s only knockdown when Lawler connected with a left hand.

Ruthless Robbie Lawler hung on to his UFC Welterweight Title just barely as he scraped by with a razor thin split decision Saturday night in Vegas at the MGM Grand in the main event of UFC 195.

Lawler (27-10, 1 NC) was magnanimous in victory.

Condit’s best stretch came right before Lawler uncorked his power-punching prowess to end the fight.

With less than 2 minutes left on the clock, Lawler cornered Condit on the fence and landed a flurry of punches and kicks.

If you paid for UFC 195 on Saturday evening, you FINALLY got your monies worth for doing so.

“I’ve been at this for a long time, over 40 professional MMA fights, MMA and kickboxing”, he said, trying to explain his thoughts. UFC 195, which originally had female bantamweight fighters Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm headlining the card, was then moved to UFC 193, to replace the original Lawler-Condit match-up. Because of this, I think the fight is going to come down to experience, intelligence, and toughness. You have to come out and fight. I wasn’t hurt neurologically, but I was roughed up a little bit. But there was a buzz, and the buzz grew into cheers, and by that fifth round, everyone was cheering for Condit and Lawler, pushing for them. Condit, 31, fell to 30-9.

“It depends how you score that third round”.

“He does not have many weaknesses”, Lawler praised Condit.

The final five-minute period turned into a wild and reckless brawl with neither fighter content to rest on their laurels – when they were eventually separated by referee John McCarthy they slumped exhausted next to each other.

“Carlos is just so tough”, Lawler said.

Listeners of Joe Rogan‘s podcast know that he’s been calling for a change to MMA’s scoring system for quite some time. Hat’s off to him. “He’s tough and technical as hell and he’s in shape”.

Condit, who amazingly accepts the referee’s decisions agreed that it was close and he himself didn’t know if he was leading or not during the fight.

The scorecards were read, and two judges gave the fight to Robbie Lawler, making him the first American in a decade to successfully defend the Welterweight title two consecutive times.

He had previously held the WEC championship and the UFC interim belt. The 6-foot-4 firefighter from the Cleveland suburbs has won five of six fights despite enduring winter travel delays on his way to Vegas this week.

Miocic stunned the former champion with a short right hand and dropped Arlovski with a follow-up combination. Miocic celebrated his victory by running across the cage to White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta, yelling at them to “Give me my shot!”
