Twitter reacts to jaw-dropping Lawler versus Condit match and decision

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!
