LAS VEGAS -- Carlos Condit had his mind made up going into his UFC 195 welterweight title fight: It was all or nothing.
He had previously held the WEC championship and the UFC interim belt. But his matchup with Robbie Lawler was going to be his second chance at the UFC's 170-pound belt in a sport in which three shots at the same belt are rare.
Condit and Lawler fought a thrilling battle, a Fight of the Year candidate just two days into the new year, and many felt he won the bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
