Robbie Lawler vs Carlos Condit announced to headline UFC 193

It will be Condit vs Lawler at UFC 193

Yes! You read it right!! Johny Hendricks is not the one getting a welterweight title shot. Instead it will be the former interim division champion, Carlos Condit who will be taking on the champion Robbie Lawler at the main event of UFC 193. The fight was confirmed by an official earlier this evening on "UFC Tonight" and the event is scheduled to happen November 14th, at a soon-to-be-determined venue in Melbourne, Australia.

The current Welterweight title holder, Robbie is coming off an impressive title defense win against Rory MacDonald at the UFC 189 last month. Meanwhile, Condit returned from an injury layoff and defeated the ex-contender Thiago Alves at UFC Fight Night 67 this past may.

The disappointed Hendricks will settle for No. 3-ranked Tyron Woodley at the upcoming UFC 192 PPV to be held on October 3rd at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
