Robbie Lawler vs Stephen Thompson. Who wins?
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
Gotta love how people get so hyped up on main event wins right after they happen lol then a few days later the discussions usually are justified or become increasingly more ridicukous...that said this is a possible and great fight now. Though i think Woodley happens next.

Judging by how HENDRICKS was taken out, I think that Robbie goes down in a similar fashion. Thompson came out of nowhere, because I hadn't heard of him before tonight. However, I just got back into watching the UFC. Thompson is dynamic, disciplined, and those strikes when they connect, keep coming. That being stated, everyone looks good punching a bag, but when the bag starts to punch back, that's a different story.
P.S. I was at the gym earlier, and watch a guy beating up the bag, and he looked good. Still, if Thompson can keep it up, and not quit when he gets clocked, I think that he can win.

Your lack of watching WOnderboy is evident in this post. He didn't come out of no where he had plenty of hype coming into the UFC and especially after his 1st UFC win. He had some delays due to injuries but he has had a steady progress with his only loss coming to Matt Brown. He is pretty hard to hit but he is a Kickboxing and Karate champion so I am sure he is no stranger to getting tagged. The question was can he stay on his feet, and now that he is training with weidman he looks to have done that. Watch his fights, you will be impressed.
I'm going to have to go with Lawler.
Every time since getting close to the title I've counted him out, and I'll be damned if he hasn't continuously proved me wrong. I think Lawler is, by far, tougher than Hendricks and has a much better chance of getting inside on Thompson and tapping that chin. We saw Thomspon get dropped by Ellenberger in the first round. If Ellenberg can put Wonderboy on his his ***, Lawler definitely has a chance to do the same, but with the added benefit of having the skill the follow through and finish the job.

2015 Lawler might have been able to beat 2015 Thompson.
But the Lawler who most recently coasted to a questionable split decision over Matt Brown would get destroyed by the Wonderboy we saw tonight.
Wonderboy will pick Lawler apart and finish him.
The reality is Robbie hasn't looked that great in his past fights. He has come very close to being beaten several times.
Rory brawled with him and Condit is a cheesy, patty cakes, point fighter.
Wonderboy will use technique and power to TKO Robbie.
People get so emotional and hype and forget every event/fight that came before the last
Hendricks ate some shots went to press against the cage and gave up after wonder boy danced round him
Robbie lawler in he's ufc career has ALLWAYS turned up and been at he's best great performance by wonder boy but let's not get to far ahead of ourself it's not a kick boxing match Robbie is a beast who turns it on when hurt
Robbie KO round 4
