Awesome fight from both men. That's the best performance from Condit since he fought Nick Diaz. He also have a very good chin and is not intimidated by Robbie's power. There should be a rematch.
I hope there is. Man Lawler in the 5th just left it all out there. Both deserved to win. Lawler fights are always thrilling. Even though it's so early in 2016 that's easily FOTY candidate already.
AWESOME AWESOME Fight! Shouldn't even be a surprise, when was the last boring fight involving Ruthless Robbie Lawler??? I guess I should also say the same for Condit. Love it. Lawler just refused to go to his wrestling and just wanted to standup and bang. I would've given the fight to Condit though but that was a tough one. Condit had the stats on his side in that fight. I can't wait to rewatch with no sound.
Condit is contemplating retirement. Said tonight was a do or die situation for him. Didn't sound too emotional while he said that so he's probably been thinking about this for awhile.
The main card is a co-main event away from being ppv level. If Cruz is back to his old form the main event should be off the hook.
Very close. TJ was whiffing a lot but he was the aggressor. Cruz was elusive and landed some decent combos and a few takedowns. I thought TJ would get it because he was the champ but I'm happy for Cruz considering all the turmoil he's been through.
Werdum and Velasquez are both injured and out for UFC 196. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Cain-Velasquez-Injured-Fabricio-Werdum-Faces-Stipe-Miocic-in-New-UFC-196-Main-Event-99075 http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mma-cagewriter/a-day-after-cain-velasquez-pulls-out-of-ufc-196--fabricio-werdum-follows-suit-213707543.html
UFC should move the card to Fox, if not the numbers will be an absolute joke. As for the main event Overeem vs Miocic would be cool, although I'm not sure either guy would take it with short notice and other circumstances involved.
It was announced a few hours ago. Free on FS1. That being said.... I am really tired of the HW class. It is the most inactive division and we see a title fight every 2 years (It feels that way at least). Pound for Pound, 265 has been the weakest class since the UFC began in my opinion. You can make a historical case for 185 but it has grown to be pretty strong in the past 5 years or so. Werdum should have his belt stripped. Claims he can fight Cain injured but pulls out against Stipe? Uh....no. That is bush-league. Make him the #1 seed in an 16 man tourney. Get some excitement back in this division. All 4 rounds happen within a year. Because right now, it sucks! *EndRant
