Wonderboy wants Lawler at MSG

[Uncommon Valor]

“I dunno man, I want to fight someone in the top 5,” Thompson said.

“I got bumped down to #3. You got Robbie Lawler, hopefully, maybe things will just right because I know he had knee surgery a few months back so hopefully things will go just right and the timings work out so we could face each other or something.

“I got fans all the time asking me ‘why don’t you fight Robbie Lawler?’ I think, I got a lot of respect for him and it would be a barnburner.

“He’s just stands there and wants to bang it out. I love fighting guys like that — without getting hit in the knee of course.”

“Hopefully we can get that shot at MSG, that would be sick.”

Oh, so you're a decorated kickboxer and want to fight a brawler?
What happened last time when decorated kickboxer fought Lawler?

Robbie by not playing around.

 

[NandoMoura]

I prefer Wonderboy vs Santiago & Lawler vs Oliveira

 

[hot carl]

Wonderboy needs a few wins before he should be fighting the top of the class.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Wonderboy needs a few wins before he should be fighting the top of the class.

They're both 1-2 in their last three fights. They are perfect for each other.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

This is an easy fight for WB

Sad to say, but Lawler is past his prime

Lawler lost to rda because he couldn’t move.

Thompson is losing fights because he wouldn’t engage.

 

[Kymbo]

I'd watch - Lawler by brutal Ko.

 

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

Leslie lost to rda because he couldn’t move.

Thompson is losing fights because he wouldn’t engage.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

I hope it doesn't get made right away Robbie needs an easy fight off surgery like magny.

Melvin was addicted to leaving himself open and has a glass chin. Not the same as Thompson

lol

 

[quantiqus]

Seriously?! Lawler by brutal KO?! And you give the Manhoef example, 8 years ago?! Wonderboy was never finished and he was seriously rocked by Woodley. Also, Lawler, didn't look good in his last fights.
Also, Lawler is out for 2018 - torn ACL!

Wow!

I would like to see Wonderboy vs:
- Cerrone
- Edwards;
- Ponzi;

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Wonderboy vs RDA

Lawler wont be ready to fight in NOV. He may be ready to start a camp by then for a Jan/Feb fight at best.

 

[Deleted member 510653]

This is the fight I've been wanting to see

 

[fortheo]

Wonderboy only ever wants to fight strikers these days.

 

[pick999]

wb starches lawler esp 3 rounder

 

[JT RIPPER]

Put him in with a fucking grappler! That whole fight I kept thinking if only someone would take it to the ground, it mighta forced some action since they were both so tentative

 

[MUSTANG!]

TBH I'm not really looking to WB's next fight, I hope he changes up his gameplan and gets more aggressive but if he fights Lawler he will probably be the same WB and point fight/counter fight

 

[GSP_37]

Why not? It'll answer the question if Wonderboy could have been champ if he got the shitle tot over TWood.
