"I sure hope so. I think I deserve to be. The fight between Robbie Lawler and myself is the fight that people want to see, regardless of ranking, so yeah. It's not a done deal but I think that's the fight that's going to happen... We've been actively in conversations with UFC. I've personally requested the fight [and] made my case for it. But, it's not a done deal... UFC needs fights that fans want to see. They need to have a lot of excitement around these fights and this fight fits the bill."
Penick's Analysis: Condit-Lawler is a fight that pretty much everyone - save for those at Team Takedown, perhaps - want to see happen. It's obviously not the most merited matchup in the division, but from an action standpoint it's as good as it gets in the 170 lb. field. The UFC may decide to go that route, they may yet change their minds, but clearly it's a fight that would interest a whole lot of people.
