Robbie Lawler was loving life after legendary staredown in Rory MacDonald bloodbath
Before knocking him out in the final frameMacDonald was subdued as his trainers told him all he has to do is win one more round to become the UFC welterweight champion.
Meanwhile, Lawler was upbeat and relishing being in the toughest fight of his life – he answered, ‘I feel f***ing great,” when his corner team asked how he’s coping with the punishment he’s taking. Ultimately, MacDonald fell to the floor and suffered a TKO defeat in the fifth round after taking one too many shots to his broken nose during 2015’s Fight of the Year.
Lawler has lost six of his nine fights since outlasting MacDonald who has had similar struggles in Bellator and PFL after going to war with the MMA fan favourite eight years ago.this weekend, the 41-year-old will fight Niko Price before calling time on his Hall of Fame career that has spanned 22 years and 46 fights.
Lawler’s retirement decision comes less than a year after MacDonald decided to walk away from fighting following consecutive defeats to Dilano Taylor and Sadibou Sy.
