“Ruthless” Robbie Lawler seemed as durable as they come in his five-round championship UFC fights leading up to his UFC 201 bout with Tyron Woodley. Lawler was in brutal wars in every one of his UFC championship fights leading up to Saturday’s event, taking 2015’s Fight of the Year against Rory MacDonald and already put up another potential Fight of the Year for 2016 in January against Carlos Condit.

Ahead of UFC 201 on Saturday, where Robbie Lawler will look to once again defend his welterweight star against Tyron Woodley, the talk of a potential Georges St-Pierre return to MMA can’t be ignored. With the list of welterweight title contenders being a rather lengthy one, Georges St-Pierre returning to the UFC would likely mean that Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson would be forced to wait on the title shot he was promised.

Prior to UFC 196, where Conor McGregor went up to welterweight to fight Nate Diaz, there was talk of McGregor potentially challenging welterweight kingpin Robbie Lawler for the welterweight championship if he defeated Diaz. Diaz ultimately won the fight, despite stepping in on just 2 weeks notice, putting an end to the talk of a McGregor-Lawler fight. During an interview following UFC 196, Lawler was asked about how a fight with McGregor would go. Lawler responded by saying that McGregor was lucky he lost to Diaz because if he fought Lawler, he wouldn’t take McGregor’s neck with a submission like Diaz did, but instead would “take his soul”.

Although Robbie Lawler was defeated by Nick Diaz back in 2004, the UFC welterweight champion isn’t looking to get revenge on Nick Diaz by fighting his younger brother Nate. Ahead of Lawler’s UFC 201 title defense against Tyrone Woodley on July 30th, the welterweight champ explained to MMAJunkie why he doesn’t want to fight Diaz, even if he defeats Conor McGregor for a second time at UFC 202.

UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler has earned the reputation for being one of the most exciting fighters on the UFC roster. In his past 6 fights, two have been ‘Fight of the Year’ winners, and 4 have won ‘Fight of the Night’. The only two of Lawler’s past 6 fights to not win an award were his TKO isn over Jake Ellenberger, and his split decision win over Johny Hendricks in which he won the welterweight championship. In addition, Lawler’s last 7 fights have all either been decisions, or ended in the final round of the fight.

At UFC 200, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier fought former middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva on just 2 days notice in a 3 round main-card fight. The fight was a lackluster one, with Cormier utilizing his wrestling to take Silva down, and eliminate the danger of ending up on the wrong end of a highlight reel knockout. The strategy worked, with Cormier getting the unanimous decision win.
