The UFC has released two fights for us via YouTube to get us hyped for the upcoming UFC 195 showdown in Las Vegas. The main event features a showdown between two fan favorite fighters. Carlos Condit challenges Robbie Lawler for his UFC Welterweight Championship on January 2, 2016.
The challenger, Carlos Condit, is not a stranger to championship gold, as he is a former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion and former WEC Welterweight Champion. Condit defended his WEC title in three battles before jumping over to the UFC to face greater competition. He would eventually work his way to an interim title shot and eventual clash with then champion, Georges St. Pierre.
Robbie Lawler is a UFC veteran that most early fans of the sport remember for his wild, yet effective striking and knockout power from the early years of the UFC. Lawler would eventually part ways with the UFC in 2004. He would go on to fight for Elite XC as well as Strikeforce (at 185lbs) before returning to the UFC in 2013. Lawler got a chance to fight for the vacant UFC Welterweight title in 2014 against Johnny Hendricks after Georges St. Pierre stepped away from competition. Lawler would lose the bout to Hendricks, but eventually get a rematch with Hendricks and earn the victory the second time around.
Both men have evolved tremendously over the years, but one could argue that Lawler has had the greatest evolution in MMA that we have ever seen. Both men are warriors and don't back down from a fight. Both men a well rounded and possess the ability to finish a fight. MMA fans, we are in for a treat! Not to mention - Andre Arlovski vs. Stipe Miocic. Enjoy the fights!
