LAS VEGAS -- Robbie Lawler might want to set his alarm clock, as it seems he has a proclivity for waiting until the last possible minute to punch the gas in his Ultimate Fighting Championship title fights. Then again, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The welterweight champion dropped the hammer in the fifth and final round of what unfolded into an epic clash with challenger Carlos Condit and eked out by the narrowest of margins yet another come-from-behind win to keep the 170-pound strap at UFC 195 on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
