Neither man blinked, and neither man cracked under the enormous pressure of the moment.
Robbie Lawler kept the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title on his mantle with a contentious split decision over Carlos Condit in the UFC 195 main event on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Judges Derek Cleary and Chris Lee saw it 48-47 for Lawler, while judge Tony Weeks scored it 48-47 for Condit. Some called it a robbery. Many others viewed it as an early contender for “Fight of the Year.”
FightMetric data favors Condit.
