Robbie Lawler Suffered Torn ACL vs. Rafael dos Anjos, Expected to Undergo Surgery

Robbie Lawler could be looking at an extended layoff after suffering a torn ACL against Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC on Fox 26 headliner last month.

UFC President Dana White mentioned the injury in an interview with Yahoo! Sports, and it has since been confirmed by ESPN.com. The former welterweight champion is expected to undergo surgery.
