Just two days into 2016 and UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit already set the bar extremely high for “Fight of the Year.”
See what people had to say about the grueling fight in which Lawler was awarded a split decision, but many thought could have gone either way.
Oh man!

1. I feel bad for Lawler's brain.
2. Condit won that fight.
3. Judges and refs suck in this sport. #UFC195 #dontagreewithjudges— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyMMA) January 3, 2016
