In a 5 rd fight I think Condit wins it. Insane cardio plus he is just as ruthless/violent as Robbie. Robbie seems to take a rd or 2 off during these longer fights which could cost him if it goes to the cards. Should be a great fight.
Condit holds back when facing real danger. He will try to take Lawler down or lure him into a headkick.
I've suddenly become a little worried that we'll see the Condit vs Diaz. With Jackson in his corner, I find it highly unlikely he'll war like we anticipate and desire. Hopefully Lawler forces him to engage!
Condit. More rounded fighter Lets just pray he doesnt turn into the Natural Born Pussy he did against Nick
I'm leading towards Condit here because he's the smarter fighter, and less war torn. Close pick em kind of fight though.
I'm rooting for Condit but I think he gets finished in the 4th. Any of you guys hear about Cowboy moving to 170? Cowboy vs Condit would be sick.
Condit would destroy cowboy at 170. Cowboy is a top 5ish guy at 155 but at 170 he wouldn't even be a top 10 guy.
Cowboy is one of the worst technical fighters I've ever seen. His mindset, aggression, tenacity, power, durability etc make him good but he's bloody terrible - balance, defence, technique, the lot.
I've always been of the opinion that "Cowboy" could do a "Reem". Alistair was a killer at LHW. For literally 1-2 minutes and then he'd gas out, get stopped and probably repeat the process in his next fight. Then when he went up in weight he DESTROYED people. Cerrone has heart, aggression, relentless stand-up and an underrated ground game. If Bendo can do well at 170, so can Cerrone. I'd love for the UFC to have a 160/165 division. That'd be great.
I agree. After the first 3 rounds Lawler tends to gas out, but if he gets his hands on Condit early Condit gets stopped.
