Robbie Lawler will headline UFC on Fox 26 opposite Rafael dos Anjos on Dec. 16 at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The pivotal welterweight battle between former Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholders on Thursday was made official.
Now operating out of Henri Hooft’s Combat Club, Lawler has won six of his past seven bouts, a knockout loss to Tyron Woodley his only misstep. The 35-year-old last appeared at UFC 214 in July, when he was awarded a three-round unanimous decision over Donald Cerrone at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
