nothing has been scheduled and nothing looks to be scheduled..
whats his current health situation?
 
I have a feeling that he got a big bonus after that fight, he seemed really happy right after at the hospital, and a few days later on twitter.

My guess is that the nose was shattered and he needed a lot of time, and he had a big payday so he could enjoy that time. If he was lower on the pay scale, I think he'd already have a fight booked.

But who knows? I think he might come back stronger but no way to know before we see it.
 
Idk, dude got maybe 100k (59k + 50k fight of the night + 1.5k Reebok) for that war with Lawler. Hopefully he comes back soon because he will need the money.
 
No one is allowed to shit on the fight of year!, just posting for reference

I know you can't rely on backroom bonuses, but they have been handed out, and I think that in this case there might have been something extra for Rory and Robbie.

All just speculation of course.
 
Im sure he is fine,but i would take a year off after something like that.

I'd like to believe that, and I know UFC pays hospital bills and stuff. That fight had a lot of viewers, and for them to see a war like that had to have been good for the UFC.
 
He was mistaken for the elephant man, and put in an asylum. His ravings about being a cagefighter and serial killer did not help his case.

Rory has a glaring weakness that he really needs to fix. he simply can't handle guys that pressure him.
 
That was a war he was in with Robbie. Looking forward to seeing him back in the octagon.

As a mature fighter, he's only really been solved by Robbie, so I'd say he has a Robbie problem he needs to fix :)

Something in me hopes that the beating he took will counteract a little of the strategical thinking he gets from tristar and awaken the beast within. Like after GSP faced Matt Hughes the first time, something clicked in his brain and he wasn't intimidated the second time. Maybe Robbie beat the fear out of him?

You do understand that Rory was winning until the last round correct?

Totes, he was doing really well, but it was also the second time Robbie beat him. I don't think that he made any serious tactical mistakes either, Robbie just found his nose early and often.

I just think that Rory might have learned something about beast-mode(TM) from Lawler, which he would probably never learn at Tri-star.
 
If Condit doesn't get the rematch he might fight Rory?
 
I heard that his nose didn't heal right the first time but I would think he would be getting close to fully healed by now.

You state that almost as if he was dominating. It was a close fight and he wasn't up by much. He caught Lawler and wobbled him but couldn't put him away and jumped ahead on the score cards because of that. Lawler caught Rory and finished him, that was the difference in the fight.

With all due respect to Rory that's 2 loses to Lawler under his belt. Good for him that he was ahead on the scorecards in that fight but he lost in a brutal brutal fashion in one of the best fights that I've ever seen....... That was pretty definitive.... Just sayin
