Zero debate over who won the first round, and who was winning the second round. The only thing you can say is that Woodley would have gassed and Carlos would have finished him in the 3rd, which is a strech IMO.
He was in no way dominating it. He landed some shots but nothing devastating and he didn't have a really high volume either. 2nd round was already looking more even so we can't really say what would have happened.
It's not even like with Silva where the freak injury was due to a well timed and executed check which does sometimes hurt the other fighter. Condit just fell weird. Take it out of the context of the fight, if Condit had a 10-8 round in the first and then this happened would you say Woodley had won the fight or that sometimes people's body's give out? I'd say the latter.
If you stopped and scored the fight at the moment Woodley likely gets the nod but that doesn't mean it isn't silly that he's trying to take credit for "finishing" Condit.

Sometimes that shit just happens, maybe it had a small tear from training or something. I'm usually of the opinion that unless it was like a catastrophic injury that it was bound to happen at some point.
