So, Robbie Lawler is now on a 4-fight losing streak, and it seems as if he took the fight against Magny on 20 days short notice to earn some quick money.
Notice a trend in the responses I added for his last few losses? I assume he'll be given one more fight in the UFC, and I look forward to fading him again. Also, an interesting thing to note is that his wins over Cerrone, Condit, and MacDonald were fights that he was allowed to stand in the center of the cage, or dictate where the fight took place. In his fights against Magny, Covington, RDA, and Woodley, they all had him with his back against the cage or near the cage during large/important parts of the fight (Woodley kept circling and finally got Lawler to go in the direction he wanted, and he didn't have much space to move and eventually stopped moving, which then caused him to get dropped with a big punch).
•
loss vs. Magny (August 2020) - Lawler looked lost throughout this fight.)
•
loss vs. Covington (August 2019 - Lawler looked lost throughout this fight.)
•
loss vs. Askren (March 2019 - A controversial stoppage, depending who you ask. I thought he was out and woke back up when Askren let the choke go.)
•
loss vs. RDA (December 2017 - Lawler looked lost throughout this fight.)
•
win vs. Cerrone (July 2017 - A 2-1 decision for Lawler; he won R1, lost R2, and R3 was very close.)
•
loss vs. Woodley (July 2016 - Quick KO.)
•
win vs. Condit (January 2016 - Condit landed almost double the significant strikes and landed the most strikes in every round, but still lost a split-decision. Striking stats are at the bottom of
this page.)
•
win vs. MacDonald (July 2015) MacDonald was on his way to winning a unanimous decision on all three of the judges scorecards -- I attached the scorecards in the spoiler below -- until his nose shattered via a jab on his nose in Round 5, and he said he could only see black and had to quit.
