Lawler: Hendricks great at understanding the scoring system
Robbie Lawler: “I’m not looking for a rivalry. I’m looking for a one-sided fight. I’m looking to dominate and he never wants to fight me again.”
Robbie Lawler was on the wrong side of a decision that was likely decided in the final round to lose the welterweight championship fight to Johny Hendricks. In this weekend’s rematch at UFC 181, Lawler is hoping to take the judges out of the equation or make it clear he won every round:
“When I went into that fight I was looking for a couple of things that never came. This time I want to win every round. Johny’s a really good competitor and he fought Georges St-Pierre, who is another really good competitor. He was in there in a battle with a guy who’s looking to win every round. Maybe not looking to finish, but who is looking to win. I think that’s something I need to take that from the last fight,” Lawler said when speaking with FOX Sports.
“Johny’s a fighter, Johny’s a winner and he understands the scoring system and he did a great job of that.”
“I’m not looking for a rivalry. I’m looking for a one-sided fight. I’m looking to dominate and he never wants to fight me again,” Lawler said. “He’s a hell of a competitor, but I’m a hell of a fighter. I’m ready for December 6.”
