Completely agree . The run to the title and how long it lasted was pure sporting brilliance. Wrote off and came back and fulfilled the potential he always had . What a fighter .
When he beat Hendricks, Macdonald etc and won the title he was like a berserker from a different time... The whole 'BMF' think makes me cringe but it was embodied by guys like him and Matt Brown. Will really miss seeing him fight.
Lawler is still a badass after so many wars. Guys like him, leben, wanderlei, lytle are always missed after they’re done. We’re still left with a few scrappers but no one does it like the OGs
@@GrifterTheBoyIdiot edgars scraps with Maynard will always be stuff of legend, dropped several times in the first round of 2 fights and still came back like a G. He was the only true lightweight who didn’t cut insane weight for the division too.
Great to see Robbie in a sit down interview before his last fight. I know he doesn’t really enjoy the media side of the sport so I was very surprised and happy to see this video. Enjoy retirement ruthless Robbie. True old school legend 👍
This is the last of the real solid old guard, the Dan henderson esque legends....Coldest moment in UFC history might've been the lawler v mcdonald 2 mid fight stare down....
One of the last of the MMA savages left in the UFC. Now we have a bunch of technical athletic jocks and martial artists looking to make a career. Guys like Robbie Lawler just got into this to knock people's heads off.
There may come more athletic fighters, more technical fighters, more well rounded fighters, more successful fighters. There will never ever be another Ruthless Robbie Lawler... Absolute old school savage... 🙇🙇🙇🙇
Always in awe of Robbie he is a living legend underrated in his prime vs gsp would be a dream fight of mine but the condit fight took so much out of him forever one of my favorite fighters win or lose this weekend this dude gave his soul to the sport gotta respect that.
The ruthless one, enjoyed every fight I seen he was in........don't remember one boring fight with this man in it....what a beast of a fighter......along the HOFame fight with Rory....he's in as a fighter as well....without a doubt.
He's the definition of a guy with nothing left to prove. Justin Gaethje might be the most violent man in the sport today but there was a time Robbie made him look like Justin Bieber.
Legend, a word that is used too often these days, but Robbie is truly a legend of the sport, it was him that got me into watching MMA and he will be missed.
When Rob moved to American Top Team and got rolling on his second ufc run, he was the most violent man on the planet. He would handcuff lightning and throw thunder in jail. At that time, he would have made guys like Gaethje look like a kitten.... Then he'd laugh, and take that kittens Soul. It only lasted a couple years but ill always remember that Kind of CRAZY. Never seen the like since
If im truthfully honest here, i much prefer these old skool violent scrappers over the perfect technical guys these days. Wanderlei, Leben, Lytle, Lawlor, Manhoef,Sanchez etc etc, all fun as hell
Legend. Really hope this is his last fight . Wouldn't like to see a washed up Lawler getting kod in the future because prime Robbie was one of the biggest beast to grace rhe octogan
His reign as the 170lb champion might not have been long but it was certainly must watch tv.
So true
Completely agree . The run to the title and how long it lasted was pure sporting brilliance. Wrote off and came back and fulfilled the potential he always had . What a fighter .
He made welterweight great again after GSP bored us with his last few title defenses.

gsp was the best, but no one was more exciting than ruthless.
Truly an end of a era for the UFC when this man retires…..forever a king 👑

Facts 👌
I miss edgar for example and a few others like gsp
Robbie was a world champion
@@GrifterTheBoyIdiot edgars scraps with Maynard will always be stuff of legend, dropped several times in the first round of 2 fights and still came back like a G. He was the only true lightweight who didn’t cut insane weight for the division too.
I forgot about Chris Lytle, another complete savage.
Wait. Did this interviewer get more out words of Lawler than anyone in the history of Lawler interviews?? Amazing content. Here's to the legend!! 💥🤛🏽
Robbie definitely isnt " just another guy" . Man is one in a million
He's such a beast in the octagon, at any time you'd think he'll bite your face off and then he's the nicest, most humble quiet guy.
Great to see Robbie in a sit down interview before his last fight. I know he doesn’t really enjoy the media side of the sport so I was very surprised and happy to see this video. Enjoy retirement ruthless Robbie. True old school legend 👍
So glad that BTsport did and not Brett 😮💨
It’s amazing how well Robbie speaks and put words together after all the wars he has been through.
his title runs were unforgettable. legend of mma. also class act. what a legacy to be proud of
His run at the title is worthy of a movie, tried, failed and then got redemption.
@@zGJungle absolutely
One of the all time coolest fighters ever. So humble and never a boring fight. Enjoy your retirement champ
This is one of the best lawler talks out there. Really enjoyed it.
He's Fokin' Ruthless. I lov- this Fighter. Thnx for all ur energy in the ring. Time 2 Live ur life bro!

2015 Robbie as champ reminded me of 2003&04 Wanderlei in Pride
Always in awe of Robbie he is a living legend underrated in his prime vs gsp would be a dream fight of mine but the condit fight took so much out of him forever one of my favorite fighters win or lose this weekend this dude gave his soul to the sport gotta respect that.
I hope people remember this man, absolute legend who won a championship on pure dogged determination. Complete hero of a bloke
Robbie Lawler is a f**king G!
End of an era…. Absolute legend
His speech and dialogue are surprising well intact. Some veteran fighter are not so lucky.
Him vs Rory McDonald was a bloodbath
The ruthless one, enjoyed every fight I seen he was in........don't remember one boring fight with this man in it....what a beast of a fighter......along the HOFame fight with Rory....he's in as a fighter as well....without a doubt.
Ruthless Lawler🥶
How good is Robbie.
Sounds like he’s humbled.. let him be.. good interview..!!
He's the definition of a guy with nothing left to prove.
Justin Gaethje might be the most violent man in the sport today but there was a time Robbie made him look like Justin Bieber.
Robbie Lawler has given us so many unforgettable memories, a true UFC legend, one last ride Saturday night 👏👏👏👏👏
Sad to see him retire but he's nearly 42... Love RUTHLESS!
Top man top fighter and a humble guy deserves everything he gets.👍❤
This probably the best Robbie Lawler interview I’ve seen.. cheers
I trained at the HIT Squad with Robbie for a few years. Awesome guy, always laughing and smiling.
Legend, a word that is used too often these days, but Robbie is truly a legend of the sport, it was him that got me into watching MMA and he will be missed.
Great interview, Robbie is very articulate and insightful
After 20 years of fighting!
@@MatthewMcRowan And lots of wars, hard to believe!
I remember watching him back in the day when he was 20 years old
Robbie vs Rory as WILD!!!
If this guy wasn’t satisfied with his career, no one in the world deserves to feel satisfied with theirs. So happy for him. Long live Lawler
Missed this prior to 290, never knew Robbie was one of the more thoughtful and overall grounded fighters..
Great interview
UFC Legend Robbie such a humble bloke, one of my favourite fighters over the years. Big up to BT sports for this interview.
Two organisation champ ,in one of the hardest divisions ROBBIE LAWLER is and Will always be a LEGEND ✊🤘👌✌️
True Warrior🫡
What a Legend
Thanks Robbie.
Legend of the game.
Adam with another quality interview, as always!
Talks just like a wise old fighting bloke
The Ben Askren fight when he just picked him up and smashed him into the canvas. Ruthless.
One of the Legends
this man is a legend🥰
Man I hope this does well outside of this, considering this was all he knows he’s been in the ufc so long .
Such an amazing man!
I still see Robbie as one of the best to ever strap in the cage.. him and Bobby Knuckles would hv been nuts!
Gonna be a sad day. I hope robbie goes out with a bang
Just hope we see an amazing banger of a fight. My favourite UFC fight ever was Lawler vs McDonald 1 @UFC 167
All them fights and his ears are normal that’s a accomplishment in its self
He'll be a great coach.
🐐❤

Putting him on the prelims is lame
The real Gladiator
GOAT
hardest 👊🏼
Such a Nice dude but a Killer in the ring!!!
Cage
5:06 "the scientist" would have been a funny nickname for him lol
Robbie v McDonald is the 1 best fight in the ufc in my opinion 🎉
Tremendous!
There would be no Justin gathe without Robbie Lawler
If im truthfully honest here, i much prefer these old skool violent scrappers over the perfect technical guys these days. Wanderlei, Leben, Lytle, Lawlor, Manhoef,Sanchez etc etc, all fun as hell
Watching this after he sparked Niko. What a legend.
What a scrapper.
Legend. Really hope this is his last fight . Wouldn't like to see a washed up Lawler getting kod in the future because prime Robbie was one of the biggest beast to grace rhe octogan
Aaron Riley... what a war...
He's going to PFL
Good to see the brain trauma seems manageable for him. Most guys that have experienced his volume and intensity of damage are super altered.
Who says he has any
Man, Robbie retiring... we gettin 'old ...
So happy he ended with that result!!
Made Welterweight great again after GSP bored us with his last few victories.
Long live THE RUTHLESS ONE!
Did he never fight GSP??? that is an awful shame
Robbie going to bare knuckle?
🫡
20 years of ufc impersonated
Wtf is a soft more?
Legend
roid head nothing more
Literally never tested positive for anything clean fighter
99% of the UFC is on roids, HGH, EPO, etc. So that's irrelevant. Still an all timer.
Casual 😂
Super casual. Robbie's an OG
Robbie never pissed hot, just trained everyday and was dedicated and it showed everytime he fought!
Robbie is an absolute legend
most exciting ufc champ ever. try to prove me wrong.
What a full on master , just like an un believable guitar plYe4my god this lad is the best
fights like a deaf guy
Legend! Respect.
