I agree I thought confit out struck him and controlled the ring. Robbie clearly won the fifth round but I thought that confit was ahead going into the fifth. I like both fighters so a rematch would be greatQuote:

It was a real toss up for anyone who follows fighting and has a good knowledge of it, you had to choose between 1 of 2 things, do you give condit rounds for landing more punches or do you give lawler rounds for landing the more telling punches
or do you give confit points for controlling the ring even though Robbie did a good job of counter striking? It's a tough callQuote:

absolutely at the end of the day it was an amazing fight and would be a controversial call either way. Rematch needs to happenQuote:

Ive been waiting so long for Condit to get his chance then he gets robbed.
really it doesn't matter. I have seen it over and over again... Just like Dana says. Don't let it go to the judgesQuote:

The judges situation needs to be fixed, you cant tell guys after a fight like that "Dont let it go to the judges" , WHAT FUK ARE THEY FOR? Ridiculous.Quote:

There is no real mandate for judging other then things like "ring generalship" "clean effective striking" things like that are open to interpretation and have no real definition as to what they really are
Many have. The judges are affected by the crowd, some strikes aren't landed but everyone cheers so they count. There's been talk about moving them away from ring side. With ground fighting involved they need to be watching monitors only with no sound. Most fighters agree on this.Quote:

Not to rattle the cage but I think it's rigid liking boxing with decisions. Will ufc make more $$$ promotion ruthless or NBK. Ruthless all the way. NBK is popular but he doesn't sell fights as well as ruthless. And Johnny Hendricks is probably the worst of the bunch at 170 and he lost a close decision to ruthless (Hendricks won the absolutely boring fight).
LAWLER/CONDIT was one of the best fights I have ever witnessed. Both men brought it. I do feel like LAWLER got the win but it was close.
Everyone one of lawlers fights since hes come back to the UFC has been epic, the dude knows how to bring it for sure and everyone he fought brought it too

There will definitely be a rematch......fact! And if Condit wins the rematch, there will be a 3rd fight.........fact!
Yes but the other 200 plus strikes landed.Quote:
