[sdpdude9]

Robbie Lawler won’t be competing next month.

Lawler (28-15 MMA, 13-9 UFC), a former UFC welterweight champion, was forced to withdraw from his bout with Mike Perry (14-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) at UFC 255 due to an injury. Perry announced the news on Twitter, and MMA Junkie subsequently confirmed it with a person with knowledge of Lawler’s removal.

Perry posted online that he plans on staying on the card. He even suggested Khamzat Chimaev as a potential opponent a weight class above at middleweight.

Let him bang with Khamzat. Winner fights Leon in December.

Where Niko at?

 

[Ares Black]

Well that sucks.

 

[Spotless Mind]

Shame. He can fight Shavkat. Mike was ranked once upon a time. Would be a good test for Shavkat so we can see where he stands. Mike can finish anyone. He is after all 2% explosive and that’s pretty explosive if you ask me

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Francis been looking for a fight.

Step up Perry.

The universe opening doors for Borz.

Perry vs Chimaev!

 

[BigTruck]

Matt brown or condit

 

[BigTruck]

Nate Diaz would be fun but makes no sense but who cares about that.

 

[sonhow]

Khamzat could take Perry before he takes Leon.
