    A fighter who sold fights by… FIGHTING. No trash talk, no press conference theatrics. A true legend who always fought like it was his last fight on earth and gave us fans more than our money’s worth. Thank you for everything Robbie.

    Robbie Lawler’s last fight couldn’t have been any more perfect. Walking out to the best ost ever (The Last or the Mohicans), getting the flawless first round finish, the tribute and respect from the fans, Buffer, Rogan, everyone and to finally see one of the most stoic, hardcore warriors finally crack some emotion after 21 years in the game. I remember watching early UFC way back when and seeing a young Robbie put in work. I’m the same age as my dad and his friends when they introduced me to him and the sport back then. You’ll be missed man, the last of a dying breed.

On my way to the arena in my uber my driver told me he had some fighter in his car the night before "he said he's retiring tomorrow"...my head snaps and I look straight at him and I say "Ruthless Robbie Lawler!" He proceeds to tell me how humble and respectful Robbie was during his short ride. This man deserved the fairytale ending. It was an honor watching that go down.
