    Didnt get to see it, but a buddy said Condit Lawler was insane. Any if you that watched it, was it better than Rory - Lawler?

    Also, for those thinking Condit was robbed, i think it's safe to say, champs don't lose unless they are finished

    Robbie Lawler's willpower is remarkable.

    Very similar. Lawler struggled in the middle rounds and came on late. Also similar to Hendricks-Lawler 2 in that regard.

    Stipe Miocic is pretty demanding for someone with few top-10 wins.

    Reem has a better claim to a title shot right now.

    I'd think reem is more popular too so I'm hoping Dana agrees.

    Total strikes Condit 198/504 Lawler 78/177
    Zero takedowns and attempts, zero submission attempts
    The WW title is now the Stand and Wang title

    Condit was considering retirement prior to this bout and apparently is still thinking about it.

    I don't often agree with DFW but he once said that this is not the kind of sport where you can have one foot out the door and survive. If CC's heart isn't in it he needs to stop.

    I thought Lawler/Rory II was the better fight.

    I don't understand all of the people stating Condit was robbed. I'm sorry, I scored it 3-2 for Robbie. I had Robbie winning rounds 2-3-5. I thought Condit threw a lot of petty, dainty bullshit kicks that hyper-inflated his striking statistics. They were fucking pointless. If Condit fought like he did in the 4th and the 5th, I think he would have won that fight.

    The same people who call Condit's style point fighting after he won via Diaz are now saying he beat Lawler because he had higher output. I feel like these people are MMA hipsters who will side with the losing party in every split because they are so precious.
