Lost in the excitement of two former champions getting ready to headline UFC on Fox 26 for the title of number one contender, is the fact that Saturday night will be Robbie Lawler’s 40th professional fight. An achievement many have achieved before him, but they didn’t achieve it like Robbie.
Robbie Lawler made his UFC debut against Aaron Riley at UFC 37 in Bossier City, Louisiana – just under two months after his 20th Birthday. With only four fights under his belt, Lawler went the distance with Riley and got the victory, despite the fact that Riley had more professional fights.
