UFC middleweight Tom Lawlor (6-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) had a good night this past Saturday.
And while the Nevada State Athletic Commission reported Lawlor made $16,000 for his 55-second submission win over C.B. Dollaway at UFC 100 – not to mention the $100,000 he received for the evening’s “Submission of the Night” – Lawlor recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) it was a third payment that had him truly excited.
“I even made a $100 off of Joe Lauzon,” Lawlor said. “We made a bet that I was going to shoot. He told me I was going to shoot. I told him, ‘No way in hell.’ Thankfully, I didn’t have to.”
It was Dollaway who shot in early on the evening’s preliminary card, and Lawlor locked in a textbook guillotine choke to put “The Doberman” to sleep.
The win had people talking, but then showing up the event’s weight-ins with “Just Bleed” emblazoned on his chest and walking out to “Who Let the Dogs Out?” with Seth Petruzelli on a leash had already accomplished that.
