Seems like a fight to make In my opinion

They should have fought already anyway.. Still a great matchup between two legend who may never get a shot at the belt again... If Lawler wins I can see him getting another big fight though..

or should they just say screw it and make Robbie vs Mike Perry?

Robbie by Decision
 
Maia easy sub. Maia's best shot at the title was through lawler
 
lawler tore the shit out of his knee in the RDA fight, hes probably out for a while.
 
I actually like this fight alot.

Lawler is my pick but im biased
 
Not sure Robbie’s takedown defense will hold up at this point
At the same time maia is getting older as well .

I’ll say Robbie by late TKo or decision
 
Robbie's takedown defense would hold up.

Robbie by TKO
 
Complete shitbox fight with neither guy being willing to commit.

Shit decision for Maia via LNP or Lawler boring decision via 1 punch a minute and stopping relentless TD attempts.
 
Lawler will likely be out for the rest of the year but if this fight did happen, I think he wins easily. It's amazing that if a guy loses to the current champion and the #1 contender that he is suddenly "washed up" or "done". If Lawler loses to someone like Erick Silva or Yancy Medeiros, then I'll believe he's on the downslide but until then, I think he's still incredibly dangerous (especially against a one dimensional fighter like Maia).
 
maia is way too old and coming off losses. the ufc has him at #5 which is absurd. he needs someone in he lower top10 like, i dont even know, maybe leon edwards or ponzinibbio
 
I'd like to see Usman GnP Maia into retirement.
Actually I wouldn't watch it, but would be good to hear about.

Lawler needs a brawler fight, where's Nico with the long arms.

I kinda remember him getting fucked up recently but I'm not super sure
