Main Card (FOX)
#1 Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Robbie Lawler
Although this matchup shot down his detractors’ argument that his chin is gone, Robbie Lawler did appear to be slower with his reflexes as compared to his legendary reign with the UFC Welterweight Championship.
A lesser fighter would’ve crumbled under the barrage of strikes thrown by Dos Anjos, however, the Ruthless One smiled until the very end and saw the final bell despite being subjected to a sustained beating at the hands of RDA the former UFC Lightweight Champion. As always, Lawler showcased his technical boxing skills, but it was his reaction time—which seems to have slowed after all the wars he’s been in—that betrayed him against a much-faster, fresher foe.
RDA thoroughly out-pointed Lawler both on the feet as well as on the mat, and scored a clear-cut decision win in this main event matchup.
Result: Rafael Dos Anjos def. Robbie Lawler via Unanimous Decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45)
