Former two-weight champion, Daniel Cormier has omitted his fellow former promotional champion, Robbie Lawler from his Mount Rushmore of fighters at the welterweight limit in the organization – resulting in much dispute and surprise within the mixed martial arts community.
Lawler, who has enjoyed a two-series tenure with the UFC, is slated to make his Octagon return at UFC 290 next weekend during International Fight Week – taking on Niko Price in his final professional mixed martial arts outing.
Sidelined since July of last year in another International Fight Week outing, Robbie Lawler had suffered an eventual third round TKO loss against Bryan Barberena.
