UFC 195 winners and losers: What's next?

Lawler expected a war with Condit, and the two produced a fight for the ages. Tied on two scorecards heading into the fifth and final round, Lawler showed his championship mettle to win the round and the fight.

Lawler thought he did enough to win, while Condit felt he won three rounds. Fans and media were outraged with the decision; they feel a rematch should be immediate.

Tyron Woodley was told in October that he would get the next title shot, but now he will have to wait. The main event of UFC 195 was an all-timer and was close enough to warrant a rematch — that is, unless former 170-pound champion Georges St-Pierre comes out retirement. That's a possibility, by the way; he recently started a six-week training camp to see how his body would hold up.

The Ohio native felt he should have already secured a title shot against heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, but the UFC felt differently. After Miocic's fight with Ben Rothwell was scrapped in October due to injury, the fight with Arlovski was made. This bout would prove whether the 33-year-old was ready for Werdum.

Miocic did just that in destroying the former champ in short order. Miocic made it a point after the fight to scream at UFC president Dana White that the next shot at the belt was his and that no one was going to take that opportunity away from him.

His fight with Joe Duffy was expected to be the toughest fight so far in his return to 155 pounds. Poirier passed the test and dominated the Irishman from the outset.

The question now is: Where does Poirier go next? Khabib Nurmagomedov is looking to return in March or April and Poirier likes to stay active. A fight would be a good test as the two try to figure out if they are title contenders in a deep division.

The former interim welterweight champion fought the best fight of his life and still came up short. He was more active and techinically efficient than Lawler, but the Nevada judges felt differently.

At the post-fight press conference, Condit revealed that retirement has entered his mind and this could have been his last fight. If he doesn't retire, he should be paired against Lawler again. He was inches away from becoming the undisputed champion. Here's hoping the UFC does the right thing and grants Condit an immediate rematch.

"The Pitbull" got clipped by an overhand right from Miocic and, 54 seconds into the bout, that was all she wrote.

This will be a tough pill to swallow for the former champ. He was one fight away from getting a shot to reclaim the title. Now he has to go to the back of the line. A fight against the loser of the Jan. 30 bout between Josh Barnett and Ben Rothwell makes the most sense for him at this point.

All the talk heading into his fight against Poirier was a potential showdown against Conor McGregor. Duffy didn't hold up his end of the bargain and got controlled by Poirier. Now the McGregor fight is a pipe dream.

A fight against Bobby Green could be in the cards. Green hasn't fought since November 2014 in a loss to Edson Barboza and the UFC likes to pit fighters coming off losses against each other.
