Regardless of whether one feels the judges’ decision for Robbie Lawler at UFC 195 on Saturday was justifiable, there’s no question that the nature of the fight, with Carlos Condit outlanding him 176-92, left a great deal of doubt as to whether the champion would win a rematch. That’s been a trend during Lawler’s reign, which has been defined by terrific fights and courageous performances but little clarity as to the proper pecking order in the 170-pound division.
