Lawler lost to Carlos condit, almost got finished by Rory before Rory nose was too fucked. Also was losing that fight too. Arguably lost twice to Hendricks. And cerrone won R1 and R2 of there fight. Lawler is exciting as fuck, but I think people romanticize him way too much.
Edit. And got KOed in one round by woodley.
Was losing to Rory. That's a fact dude. By R5 all 3 judges had Rory winning the fight before Rory couldn't continue in R5Agree he lost to Condit, Rory was pretty even. Both Condit and Rory would fuck RDA up.

I agree both are top notch. I'm not even debating that. My point is Lawler is super beatable and Sherdog has this wierd thing with him. Literally 2 fights ago he got KOed in the first round. And cerrone was winning most there fight. RDA has a super strong chance of winning here.If you want to play the judges side then Lawler beat Condit...
The point is both those opponents were top notch, and both would destroy RDA

He got KO'd by arguably the heaviest hitter in the devision. Cerrone was not winning most of there fight. Lawler 1st and 3rd in an awesome fight. Lawler is beatable but he is ranked no. 2 for a reason.I agree both are top notch. I'm not even debating that. My point is Lawler is super beatable and Sherdog has this wierd thing with him.

RDA couldn't take power shots from alvarez... I feel Robbie will win early.Why?If he wins he's pretty much assured a title shot.I think he could possibly outwork Robbie.I'll be picking Robbie but it's a tough one for him too.RDA seems to me like the type of fighter that wants the toughest fights not a ducker.This fight's going to be great.
RDA has been unable to deal with power from jeremy stephens and eddie alvarez. Robbie hits harder tan both of them and RDA is very very hittable.He is super beatable points wise because he literally takes entire rounds off, if you think about it he is the opposite of a point fighter, he is just looking to knock people out. Sadly I think that phase of his career is over though, when was the last time he knocked someone out? Yet he somehow manages to win fights on the scoresheet, I wonder if he has just mastered the mma points system somehow even though he ain’t a point fighter. RDA has a high work rate though and if lawler does his usual disappearance in the middle rounds he can definitely lose, maybe this is the fight that his fighting style bites him in the ass who knows
