Nevermind the numbers, look at the fight.
Watching round 3 again, I can't believe I even thought it was that close. Out of all those 78 strikes Condit apparently threw, only a few got past Robbie's guard. A couple leg kicks, and a punch that glanced. A couple knees to the body near the end. The rest are hitting him in the forearms and hands, or kicks that are being checked. One good body kick. I doubt he landed 11 strikes, none of which were doing any damage. Most seemed to have 60% effort behind them, except the body kick.
Meanwhile nearly every one of Robbie's strikes were damaging, including an elbow that stunned Condit and almost put him down.
Watch it again, most of the damage was done by one guy, even if the other threw more strikes.
I've always said metrics don't tell the full story of a fight, and can be misleading.

Do you not think Robbie won rounds 2 and 5?
