Countdown to UFC 189 ‘Lawler vs. MacDonald’ (full video)
Since returning to welterweight back in 2013, Fight Booth 2014 Fighter of the Year Robbie Lawler (25-10 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has been the best man inside of his weight class. And now he has the belt to prove it.
On July 11th, in the co-main event of UFC 189, Lawler will attempt to become only the 4th welterweight in UFC history to successfully defend his title. He would join some pretty impressive company in current UFC Hall of Famers Matt Hughes and Pat Miletich. He’d also be joining a man who helped groom his opponent on the night – Canadian legend Georges St. Pierre.
