On this day nine years ago, decorated welterweight veterans, Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit beat each other to a bloody and bruised pulp over the course of five gruelling rounds — in a championship setting which is still the cause of much debate and discourse to this very day.
Headlining the promotion’s UFC 195 in a ‘golden era’ for the organization, veteran welterweight brawler, Lawler met with former interim champion, Condit in pursuit of the sophomore defense of his throne, having just turned in a Fight of the Decade contender against Rory MacDonald the summer prior — forcing an eventual stoppage.
