Robbie Lawler suffered ACL, meniscus tears in loss to Rafael dos Anjos

When Robbie Lawler lost a unanimous decision to Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC on FOX 26 main event, he’d spent the second-half of the fight competing with an apparent left knee injury. As it turned out, Lawler tore his ACL and meniscus, which figures to keep him out of competition for a lengthy period of time.

“The guy’s leg was destroyed,” White said to Yahoo’s Kevin Iole. “Okay? Blew his ACL and his meniscus and every other thing that’s in your knee out in like the third round. Wobbled over to the fence, laid against it, and asked dos Anjos to come in so that they could just bang it out.
