top last round indeed, also had a bet on poirier, stipe and robbie all to win, chi ching!

Condit/Lawler was awesome. That last round was something special.

Agreed. I feel for Carlos, I thought he'd done enough but he was very close to getting knocked out in the 5th, fantastic end though

As someone pretty new to MMA, my opinion was that Carlos had done enough too, I felt he had easily won 3/5 rounds, Lawler really only 1, with one 'drawn' round.

Only started watching UFC about 6 months ago, cant believe what ive been missing out on.
The final round of that lawler/condit fight was brilliant

Me too mate, only really been following for about a year.

Great fight though despite the outcome. I genuinely thought Lawler seemed overconfident before the fight and almost casual as he made his way I to the ring. Condit was clever with his tactics but ran out of juice toward the end...

Great few weeks for the UFC with some good cards hopefully the rest of 2016 is a good 1 with some good fights to be announced. The next fight has classic written all over it with TJ Dillashaw V Dominick Cruz think Cruz is going to win on the cards. Also the undercard with Pettis v Alvarez would be a good fight while it lasts just think Pettis will have too much for Alvarez. Also having Browne v Mitrione someone is getting KO'd there.

That last round with Robbie just laying it all on knowing he needed a KO..wow.beast mode!

 

[Tragic meat van guy]

Cruz, Pettis, Browne.
Easy money

Condit was fucked over via decision no doubt.
Lawyer is a golden nugget for UFC but in all fairness it seems he'll be up for a rematch... Significantly Dana ran over to Condit straight after the fight - he's cemented his place up in the rankings, and will get the rematch.

How weak was that choke hold defence during that fight? Forgot who was fighting now... Was so bad I thought he wanted to lose the fight.
Shows how much BJJ has improved in the past 5yrs in the UFC when it's significantly evident of poor submission defence.

Also, a yank kid tapping a Brazilian guy who's been doing jits since he was 14 :D

What a 5th round it was between Lawler and Condit.

I like almost everyone had Condit 3 rounds to two. Hope they do the rematch.

Maybe for 1 month or so you could get the UFC fightpass and go though some of the classics. It's only 6.99 a month and no contract.

I got it to go through Anderson Silva's fight catalogue. Incredible fighter when in his prime.

If you do have a look at Matt Hughes fights too also GSP both were brilliant to watch. Matt Hughes got me hooked and same with Forest Griffin too on the Ufc.

Here here.

Best fighter I've ever seen live in the octagon.
Fucking cried when he went over on his leg, idolized him as a kid.

Fabricio Werdum has just put this Photoshop effort up on Instagram

 

[Tragic meat van guy]

Dos Anjos out of the McGregor fight with a broke foot.

GAY!

 

[leighton]

Another pull out McGregor should just pull from the card and go in June against Frankie Edgar

 

[lewisMCFC]

Confirmed McGregor vs Diaz!

Holy fuck what a fight this will be. Whether you like McGregor or not, you have to respect him for stepping up to Welterweight so soon.

 

[argyle]

Much prefer the Diaz bout than against Edgar.

This Saturday though is Manchester's own Michael Bisping vs Anderson Silva.

 

[Bigga]

First of all, I hope Silva smashes Bisping. I don't dislike the lad, I just like Silva better. However, time isn't on the side of 'The Spider' here and Bisping just needs to up the tempo to grind out a points win.

As for McGregor? I can't see Diaz laying a glove in anger on C McG, unless he wants to test his chin at the weight.

Should be a relatively easy night for McG.

Do you reckon? Seeing them in the staredown, Diaz is much bigger. Can't wait for it in any case.
