Dana White calls Robbie Lawler the 'Evander Holyfield of MMA' following memorable UFC 195 performance

When you're never in a boring fight, they don't call you Mike Tyson or Muhammed Ali, they call you Evander Holyfield.

At least, that's according to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White, who said Robbie Lawler is the company's "Real Deal" following his memorable five-round Welterweight title fight against Carlos Condit at UFC 195 (see it again here) last night (Jan. 2, 2016).

"[Lawler]'s our Evander Holyfield man, right?. It's just like he's never in a boring fight. He's always, when he gets hurt he continues to go toe-to-toe. Robbie reminds me.
