CHICAGO -- Another little slice of personality has been wiped out in the UFC's new corporate era.
Veteran Tom Lawlor will return to action Saturday night, when he meets Gian Villante in a UFC on FOX 16 light heavyweight bout at United Center.
But one thing will be missing when Lawlor competes for the first time in three years: His trademark character role-play for weigh-ins and walkouts.
Lawlor has done spot-on impersonations of everyone from Dan Severn to Apollo Creed to the "Just Bleed" guy over the years, but with the Reebok uniform code in effect, those are now a thing of the past.
