Guess who’s back ... back again ... Robbie’s back ... tell a friend ... that someone is getting KTFO in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight division.
There’s been a lot of talk over the past few months about the 170-pound weight class, thanks to the back-and-forth banter between reigning champion Tyron Woodley and fellow UFC 209 headliner Stephen Thompson.
Then there was the chatter about the return of Georges St-Pierre, who has yet to decide on what weight to compete at, while Demian Maia and Jorge Masvidal jockey for position at UFC 211 in Dallas.
Let’s not forget about the “Ruthless” one.
Lawler (27-11, 1 NC) was riding a five-fight winning streak — one that included a couple of insane wars against Rory MacDonald and Carlos Condit — before getting clipped by Woodley at UFC 201 last summer.
Not much has been seen or heard from the No. 2-ranked slugger (outside of this) in the months that followed, but it appears the former champ is “back to work.” That’s great news for mixed martial arts (MMA) fans.
But bad news for these guys.
