Robbie Lawler emphasizes true fighting in Hendricks rematch

Robbie Lawler recently reflected on his title win against Johny Hendricks. He believes he showed what "real fighting" is all about during their rematch. Lawler, a former UFC Welterweight Champion, is known for his exciting fighting style. In their first fight at UFC 171, Lawler lost a close decision to Hendricks. At the time, Hendricks had nearly defeated the then-champion Georges St-Pierre. However, in the rematch at UFC 181, Lawler came out on top. While Hendricks had some success with his wrestling, Lawler found his stalling tactics amusing. Lawler stated that he found it funny when Hendricks tried to score points instead of engaging in a real fight. He emphasized his aggressive mindset, saying he preferred to finish fights rather than just win on points. As a five-time "Fight of the Night" winner, Lawler will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer. He believes his style embodies what championship fights should look like, focused on finishing opponents rather than just scoring points.
