Condit got robbed!

Robbie didn't do anything to win that dicision. Condit landed 3 times the amount of strikes, hurt him twice too.
 
I actually thought it was either 48-47 or even 49-46 to Condit. It's inexplicable.
 
Robbery gets tossed around way to much here, It was close it could have went either way. The fight all comes down to how you score the 3rd round and either man could have won
 
I hate to be that guy, and I have ZERO bias, because these are 2 of my favourite fighters ever.

but condit won that fight. 49-46 condit is a more acceptable score than 47-48 lawler IMO.

I respect your opinion, but the only round robbie clearly won IMO was 5. he had a knock down in the second but Carlos landed at will afterwards bringing that round much closer.

If the fight was moderately close, you shouldnt have much dispute with Lawler winning. Haters gonna hate.

Yes! Can't understand how close fights are constantly called robbiers and "worst decision ever"
 
So by UFC judging criteria Condit probably should have won, so in that sense i guess you could say it was a bad decision.

However i always liked the way Pride judged fights (don't get me wrong there were plenty of bad decisions in Pride too). I think it was and still would be a more appropriate way to judge a fight as a whole. Also, the whole thing about significant strikes scoring more points then non-significant strikes, overall damage inflicted, and who finishes the fight strongest.

Condit just tried to spam very insignificant strikes to score points, those strikes had no intent other then to score points. I don't feel he made any real effort to finish the fight.

Lawler deserved to win the fight. He landed more significant strikes, inflicted FAR MORE damage then Condit, and obviously there is no question who finished the fight stronger.

I was very disappointed in Robbie though. If he had just upped his output earlier in the fight a little more we wouldn't be going through this controversy. The fight would have been interrupted very differently at the end of things.
 
I agree Condit won. Nonetheless, he should have done more in the 5th, he got too careless and got caught far too much. A better 5th round and he would have won, no question about it.
 
You are all retarded.. read judging criteria... thowing a bunch of shit strikes no matter how pretty mean NOTHING if they dont connect. . Looks at their faces Lawler did far more damage, and maintained octagon control in most of the rounds... Lawler 2 3 5

Condit clearly won 1,3 and 4
Lawler clearly won 5
2nd round was a toss-up

The fight was NOT close at all

Either way, it's 48-47 condit or 49-46 condit.

Lol at round two being close Robbie nearly killes him with a punch if that round was close then so was round two of Hendricks vs GSP.

What the hell makes round 1 a clear win for Condit? A push/trip that clear as day wasn't from a punch after watching the slow mo replay??? Round was super close. 3 was also pretty damn close as well the only round Condit clearly won is 4.

I think people are getting fooled by those stats and Goldie aweing at them by the second half of the fight.
 
It wasn't a robbery. I would give the last round a 10-8, plus round 3 was close anyway. A challenger has to really take the fight from a champ. You don't win it just from point fighting a round.

That is EXACTLY what I said to my buddy right before they announced the score cards

No round in that fight was anything close to a 10 -8.

Get real
 
Amazing end of Round 5 for Robbie, it really looked as though he was going to get another crazy comeback win. But, not enough, Condit won! Silly decision

IMO that was a very close round, GSP controlled the striking for the rest of the round after getting knocked down, and I believe im in the majority that thinks that round was close to a 10-10 round.
 
No he did not! That´s what happen when you resort to point-fighting. Lawler wanted the win more and he showed on the cage.
 
I found it really hard to believe that decision. The only significant output Lawler had was at the end of round 5. Even being favorable to to Lawler, I had Condit winning 3 rounds SOLIDLY. Would like to see a rematch. This was definitely the wrong decision. Condit was the winner.
 
A fight that close shouldn't be called a robbery.

I'm raging right now. I feel for Condit. All that effort from the training camp, to the actual fight itself, all of that just to end up getting robbed in a fight he CLEARLY won. Its just not on!

Wah
I gave condit the fight, but it was close. Condit had alot of volume but that doesn't mean he landed everything.
Part of Condit's problem is his style of fighting lends itself to these decisions, he seems to try enough NOT to lose a round rather then win it.
Again it happened to him in this fight, but it was close and i can see how Lawler would win it.
If condit doesn't retire then a rematch is in order
 
I thought it was a clear cut Condit decision
