Really looking forward to this one! WW is my favorite current division and I love Lawler's vicious fighting style. I'm picking him to retain though I could very well be wrong as Condit has some solid momentum and isn't the best style match for him.
My main card predictions:
Lawler by unanimous decision Arlovski by first round TKO Tumenov by first round KO Ortega by unanimous decision Sims by third round TKO
I'm expecting a, "JUST BLEED" kind of night.

Poor Duffy and Poirier, they were gonna main event the Ireland card and now they're on the jabroni fight pass undercard.
I'm not going to be impartial, I want to see Pitbull defeat Stipe and become champ again. He needs to take the fight to the third round, Miocic gets tired, that's how Dos Santos defeated him.
Now I believe that Lawler is gonna demolish Condit. I've watched almost every fight in Carlos career, from his fights in japan to his WEC career, and after he got his acl injured by Tyrone Woodley, he looks slower. In my opinion he wasn't the same man when he fought Thiago Alves.

Man I'd love to see this fight but the rest of this card doesn't intrigue me at all.
I'd love to see Lawler win though, his unexpected career resurgence has been one of my favorite things in MMA in a long time.

Robbie credits training smarter for his success, I think that before joining American Top Team, he only used raw talent not gameplan and tactics. If Lawler would've been the way he is now back in the day, he probably would've been welterweight champ for like 10 years.

Poirier vs Duffy.
The fight that went from a card headliner to a FightCard Prelim.

f*** Poirier just destroyed Duffy at the end of the second round. If Duffy loses, they can kiss that rematch against McGregor goodbye.

I'm not sure how "Hurt" by Johnny Cash is meant to work as an entrance theme.

So the womens approach is step back and punch each other with no other type of strategy.

When you are young and have raw talent you will lean more on natural born talent than the X's and O's gameplan. Guys like him who have a lot of ability but didn't have the "work ethic" either typically flame out real fast or learn to adapt and he's learned to adapt with great success.

One of the judges scored the 2nd round 10-8 for Poirier.
