Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 290 Points   |   Tied for 1249th

This one's flying somewhat under the radar relative to the mainstream crossover appeal of the last two UFC PPVs, but it's a hardcore fan's dream. 

Lawler-Condit, Arlovski-Miocic, Larkin-Tumenov ... Oh lawd. 

The prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 8pm. As always, the main card kicks off at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

I'd be happy if we just watched some sort of combination of Lawler fighting either Condit, Hendricks, or MacDonald for the belt, for eternity.

If you've watched MMA for more than one year and still don't know that if someone destroys his foe in the last round that person automatically wins, you are really bad at identifying patterns. When the fifth round was over I was sure Lawler had won it.

To say Condit won the 5th makes no sense to me. By the end of it Condit was a zombie, not sure how he managed to keep standing till the end. He might have won the 3rd, but it was close. 

I picked Condit, but I had it 48-47 Lawler. Hell of a fight. Very happy for Lawler. And Condit's chin is amazing, he took some clean shots from a very heavy puncher.

I think people get caught up in who won the fight as a whole instead of Rd by Rd which is how mma is scored. I thought Condit had the better fight but Lawler did enough to win 3 rds.

I had Condit winning 1/3/4.  The third was the one that be in question.   I think Condit won it on volume.

@mike187 It is pretty much the opposite. In theory fights are judged round by round. In reality pretty much all judges look at it as a whole fight. MMA is not like boxing: judges submit the results of ALL ROUNDS after the last one. And that impacts the final score.

I felt like Condit should have won it and I picked Lawler. Lawler took round 2 by dropping Condit and took round 5 for obvious reasons, but the other rounds were Condit. Didn't Rogan say Lawler's corner told him he needed to win rounds 4 and 5 after round 3? If so, even they think he lost the fight, although they probably wouldn't admit it.

@Fish they don't wait until the end of the fight to fill out the whole score card and then go back and do it by memory, also they don't go back and erase and change previous rd scores based on what happens later in the fight, you would be able to see that clearly on the score card. And even if they did I'm talking about how a fight is supposed to be judged which is Rd by Rd .

I loved, loved, loved that fight, but I feel so sad for Condit. 

I had it for him, 48-47, but it came down to R3, which could have gone either way. 

I'm usually against immediate rematches, but lawd to I want to run that one back. 

Thing is, it sounds like Condit has one eye on the door.

As much as i like to see my fellow half asian brother Robbie Lawler fight and win i can't figure out which round he won aside from 2 (knockdown) and 5 (onslaught). 4 was very clearly Condit and I'd say Condit took 1 and edged out 3
