gif of lawlers awesome spin from the guard

He probably dehydrates himself more to make 170.

As for his chin, his chin is generally very good. He's taken some big shots, he shakes them off very well. He was moving towards the punch and it was perfectly landed on the button, he moves his head better and rolls with punches now which helps. You also have to factor in that he was training at the Miletich camp back then, probably taking all kinds of beatings from the animals that were there back then. Getting KOd or rocked numerous times leading up to a fight will diminish your ability to take a punch in the fight, Robbie says he doesn't even spar now.

He's been sparring again since he moved to ATT before his return to the UFC.
 
Lawler is the man. I hope he takes the belt by the end of this year. Little bit bummed out that he has to go through Brown first. Like him too.

How the hell is Lawler still 170 pounds and looks all jacked like that. He looks like a twig in this, and he's still 170 pounds? Here's Nick Diaz knocking this guy out with 1 punch and he's NEVER knocked anyone else out before.. What does that say about his chin?

C'mon dude.. He is 10 years older. He was like 22 when he fought Nick (who, by the way, went to knock a lot of people out after that). He didn't look that jacked during the fight although probably put on some muscle mass during his run at 185 & that's why he looks so jacked after the weight cut.

That's the only time Robbie has been KO'd. He definitely didn't see that punch coming.

Oh OK, didn't know that. Still though, he's overall a better fighter now. He's probably one of the top dogs in ATT sparring sessions, as opposed to getting his ass kicked back at Miletich.
