Do you watch fights or just listen to them at really low volume?

I mute the fight and watch it with my eye balls if possible because joe rogan is annoying because nothing he says matches what is actually happening in a fight

Condit and Lawler should become best friends like Creed and Rocky and hang out together. Hell throw Rory into their crew and they could open a bar or something. Dana should fund all their adventures.

It's hard to believe Condit suffered a severe concussion in training if Lawler couldn't do it in that fight huh.

it's always very interesting to see when people will agree round 3 can go either way, but not follow this conclusion to its logical end, which is that robbie lawler winning makes sense, because he won 2 and 5 definitively.

condit would have won in PRIDE

No.

Not a robbery. But Condit will feel like he won. Lawler would have too. It should just be a rematch. Condit might retire though based on his talk pre-fight.

Yeah they totally prevented Robbie from moving forward and visible slowed his output. In imagination land

I want to see more Condit fights, but if he's concerned about his health or whatever that would be a hell of a fight to retire on.

I don't know if Carlos is just bummed, but it sounds like he's seriously considering retirement. :(

He was thinking about retiring before the fight happened. I do hope he at least gives one more go at the belt against Robbie.

I barely remembered this fight was happening, despite liking both guys a lot. By round five I was standing and yelling at the TV and my friend. Amazing fight. I really, really wanted Condit to win after watching a few rounds. When he survived the 5th I thought he had it, and was real bummed when he lost. Reading through the thread made me remember round 3 though. I don't like the decision but it's not a really bad one. I just wish Condit got the belt.

My instant instinct after round 3 was Lawler won the round, second-guessed myself between rounds after I saw the stats, now I don't know anymore who I felt really won the round (and the fight). I'm satisfied with the likely conclusion that a defending champion will always win a split decision, and a challenger can't let it get that close.
