Lawler has 2 great rounds but did nothing in the other 3. Hard to imagine how he won a third.
Vince McMahon would have scripted it this way.
Did Condit just outstrike him 2-1 and lose?
Somewhere, somewhen I heard you had to KO a belt holder to win.
to be honest I probably give it 4-1 Condit before 3-2 Lawler.
He had more strikes landed then Lawler had attempted through 4 rounds. Not sure how you possibly lose when you do that.Quote:

Even Joe Rogan couldnt believe it, or he wouldnt have asked Carlos about thinking he won several times.
shitty judges on Fleek
was everyone else standing up for the last round? we all were here, I assume a good portion of you all were too.
I didn't do any kountermove or dk or any dfs for this event, but I have to think Condit must have the highest score ever for a losing fighter.
Last 3 minutes for sure.Quote:

I wouldn't have had a problem with the decision going the other way, but it wasn't a blow out fight like some of you guys are making it out to be. Using those striking figures to score the fight is like trying to score a boxing match with Compubox numbers.
At least my Rory will know how to game plan for Lawler next time around.
is this the first time you guys have watched a belt fight?
point fighting is risky. if you point fight to a 2-1 or even 4-1 advantage but get knocked on your ass a few times, you pretty much lose.
I'm not really sure why you continue to emphasize point fighting or need to play the "I know more about MMA than you guys card". Plenty (the majority) of well established MMA outlets have given the fight to Condit. Condit threw out a shitload of punches and kicks and was if anything very reckless about how he went about it.Quote:

ROFL
Some clown thought he was asking a question to Robbie Lawler who isn't even there yet.
Link please

but if sitting here repeating the same tired shit to each other like aspie parrots is going to somehow cathartically take the pain away, dont let me interfere.
This is what kills me about Condit:
He says "I knew this was a do or die moment in my career" but when he had Robbie beaten down to like 20% on the fence, he just pitter patters to clinch up the round while staying out of trouble.
That's fuckin Condit in a nut shell.
Condit looks like he is one question away from flipping the podium and walking off stage as he flips the bird

N... no...?
Analogy hard to follow..ok.Quote:

Do you know how many times Ive been fishing for stripers? I have caught NONE.
GOOSE FUCKING EGGS.
FUCK.
Well done man, congrats. That's a good day right there.
How are you cooking them? Ive seen people do the whole 'toss in a ton of savory veggies and cook in tinfoil' thing but Ive also seen beer-battered fritters that look amazerballs.
I took a pot cookie before trip and i was so fucking high I caught 5 in a matter of 2.5 hrs on a half day trip. All keepers. My forearms and shoulders were killing me. They kept taking line out which was a bitch. Best haul since I was 11. I kept staring into the water repeating motions and they just came to me.Quote:

And it made me wonder when the fights would happen.
Although you'd think they would save McGregor for UFC 200?
barring injury, McGregor's camp has always said they want March AND July. Which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.Quote:

There was an article out earlier where Dana said McGregor could hold 2 belts if he fought 4x per year and defended both. So once every 3 months is what would be expected. March to July is even longer than thatQuote:

Exactly. Dana says stuff then reverses all the time. Whatever makes the most money.Quote:

Rousey loses? Definite re-match for Rousey immediately, why would we wait?
Now Holm fighting Tate in March? As much as I loved Holm beating Rousey, I'd love for Tate to beat Holm just to piss Rousey off and to fuck over Dana.
ronda miesha for the belt sells a million also. as long as Ronda is involved, they'll be fine.Quote:

Well he did promise Tate a title shot next, first. He just didn't fathom Rousey might lose. So he's kind stuck to his original wordQuote:
