“Ruthless” Robbie Lawler catches up with Eddie Mercado of Bloody Elbow for an interview
MMA royalty isn’t a term to throw around lightly, but no title may be more fitting when talking about a man like ‘Ruthless’ Robbie Lawler. He’s the former UFC welterweight champion, the former EliteXC middleweight champ, and has run roughshod over the sport for more than two decades with one of the most ferocious styles MMA has ever seen.
Coming off of a TKO victory in his 17-years-in-the-making rematch with Nick Diaz at UFC 266, Lawler caught up with Bloody Elbow to discuss the roots of his ruthlessness, settling the score with Diaz, keys to longevity in such a tough sport, and the one thing that he would change about MMA if he could.
