'Ruthless' explains the reason behind his intimidating warning to 'The Notorious' last month, in which Lawler vowed to take McGregor's soul if they ever met in the Octagon.

Robbie Lawler shook up the headlines in June when he vowed to take Conor McGregor's soul if the Irishman ever challenged him for the welterweight title.

Ruthless made the statement to WSB-TV during a promotional interview for his championship bout with Tyron Woodley. According to Lawler, the question about McGregor irritated him. The 170-pound champ was there to discuss his title fight with Woodley and doesn't understand why McGregor's name keeps being brought up.
