It would be the smart idea, but I doubt it. Lawler is riding such a wave of confidence right now, he'll fight like he's invincible.
So TS Robbie's TDs could be used to stifle the circling of Condit but I thought circling efficiently helped avoid TDs?
(Not being a sarcastic ass, actually am curious)
Just because Lawler mostly decides to stand and trade shots doesn't mean he isn't a great wrestler. Hell his takedown defense is proof of that. Opponents of Carlos in the past have had great success with mixing in takedowns with their strikes to stifle Carlos from circling and Robbie was able to take down Matt Brown and Bobby Volker.
You've got to think the coaches at ATT will suggest that Lawler utilizes this aspect of his game along with some vicious ground and pound right? There is always the possibility that Carlos could nab a submission but I think at this point in Robbie's career his defense is probably enough to evade Carlos's guard and get to a dominant position to land devastating power shots from the mount.
Thoughts?
Lawler won't try to take Condit down. He'll get beat up and swept, possibly subbed. Condit beat up and swept a much better grappler in GSP.
Robbie will stand and lose the fight standing. I've bet against Lawler twice now and lost, third time is the charm especially since he's fighting Condit.
If Condit hurts Lawler the way Rory did, he's in trouble.

Robbie doesn't need to takedown anyone in the division. He can strike with and or knockout anyone. Not to mention stuff any takedown anyone is capable of. He is the welterweight divisions worst nightmare finally come to fruition. He is essentially the GSP antichrist.
Exactly! 30 WINS, 28 finishes. Diaz has more decision wins, so who's really the point fighter?I can't believe how much heat Condit takes for one fight. Good lord the guy is a warrior and had one fight where he utilized a game plan to get a points win. Get over it, some of these fools should look up felon fights instead, might be more up your alley.

OMG Joe
Lawler is really hurt
He sure is mike that was a really strong elbow
It was for a belt vs a fighter with better striking, this fight is for a belt with a fighter with better striking.
and Condit backpeddled from Diaz for 25 mins, Diaz who got wrestle fucked by GSP.
Lawlers knocking Condit out.
