Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit went through five rounds of marvelous hell at UFC 195, setting the bar early for “Fight of the Year” and “Round of the Year” in 2016.
The moment it was announced that Lawler had retained his UFC welterweight title in a hotly contested split decision, social media lit afire with fans and pundits calling the verdict a robbery.
Even though more than a few scorecards favored Condit over Lawler -- including that of this writer, who was stationed cageside -- I have one thing to say: This was not a robbery.
