5 Greatest UFC Welterweight Championship Fights In History

#2 Robbie Lawler (c) vs Carlos Condit - UFC 195

This fight is the very definition of a war. Robbie Lawler's second title defence came against "The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit, who was a former interim champion in his own right. This match was a brutal affair, turning out into an all-out brawl between the two. It seemed like Condit had it in the bag, but Lawler dug deep and went swangin' and bangin' in the final round. This was deemed enough for Lawler to earn a split decision victory.

While many thought Condit had it in the bag, it seemed like Lawler just edged him out. The decision is debatable, but not controversial.

#1 Robbie Lawler (c) vs Rory MacDonald 2 - UFC 189

Lawler and MacDonald's first fight at UFC 167 ended in a split decision for Lawler. While their rematch was anticipated, no one knew that they were set to witness the greatest fight in UFC history.

You read that right. It's hard to deny that Lawler vs MacDonald 2 ranks among the greatest fights in UFC history. It was a war between two men who slugged it out for a whopping 21 minutes. Both of their faces were bloodied. MacDonald's nose was broken and Lawler's lip was horribly cut.

The two men gave everything that they had and the crowd loved every second of it. Dana White himself went to comfort MacDonald after the match, assuring him that it was one of the craziest things he had ever seen. Lawler seemed to have just wanted it more, as he broke MacDonald's nose and finished him in the first minute of the fifth round. If there's one word to describe this fight, it's unforgettable.
