Respect this monster. Absolute beast.
Yeahlegend lmao
Fan of Dos Anjos but that's a bit of a fallacy. His often-cited BJJ credentials flatter him. I don't think he was even able to pass guard tonight, let alone do anything offensive, and Lawler isn't much of a grappler. Maybe he's better in the gi (I don't think he has won any major tournaments) but whatever trophies he has on his wall for grappling, he hasn't been able to make anything of it in MMA.Dude could just grind and settle for guillotines and arm triangles
But he’ll put it all on the line anytime and
FIGHT
Lawler is a very strong defensive grappler imo, especially when he has his wits about himFan of Dos Anjos but that's a bit of a fallacy. His often-cited BJJ credentials flatter him.

There wasn't much of a size difference between Dos Anjos and Lawler. Watch the face-off where the referee is giving instructions, Lawler is a bit taller, that's it. The whole tradition of BJJ that Dos Anjos comes from is based on nullifying size differences.Lawler is the much bigger man and a tough SOB to hold down. Dont being much of a grappler dont turns him into an easy game for anyone, or have you seen anybody hold Lawler down, pass his guard and do great things on the ground against him since he got back in the UFC?
And if you want to talk about someone who is much of a grappler, watch RDA's fight against Diaz and then come back to crap on his ground game. Come on...
