Lawler: I want it to be one-sided
Robbie Lawler: “I don’t want to take any bumps or bruises, I want to go out and dictate all aspects and go out the way I came in. I’m looking to dominate…”
At this weekend’s UFC 181 Robbie Lawler will get the chance to rematch Johny Hendricks for the UFC welterweight title. Lawler lost a decision but is planning for the judges won’t be needed in the rematch:
“I was hurt a lot early in my career,” Lawler said. “My coaches did a really good job of keeping my healthy. It’s just a learning process. You learn how to take care of your body. You learn to practice so that you’re healthy to fight, and I think that it’s also a little luck.”
And with that in mind, no offense to fans hoping that Hendricks-Lawler 2 will equal or surpass the original, but Lawler hopes to get out of Las Vegas unscathed.
“I want it to be one-sided,” Lawler said. “I don’t want to take any bumps or bruises, I want to go out and dictate all aspects and go out the way I came in. I’m looking to dominate and dictate.”
