LOS ANGELES -- The crowd at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night made it very clear they weren't fans of Daniel Cormier's performance in his victory against Anderson Silva. They frequently heckled the fight, at one point chanting for referee John McCarthy to stand the fighters up.
But at least one person in the audience at UFC 200 respected where the UFC light heavyweight champion was coming from. Robbie Lawler, the UFC welterweight champion, believes that Cormier did the smart thing in a tough situation in order to secure the victory.
