UFC 189 is wrapped up and the bulk of the post-fight discussion is centered around Conor McGregor. This editorial has nothing to do with him and everything to do with the man who is the undisputed UFC welterweight champion: Robert Glenn Lawler.
Today is July 12th, 2015, and Robbie Lawler is the UFC welterweight champion coming off his first successful title defense. On July 14th, 2012, Robbie Lawler suffered a shutout loss to Lorenz Larkin in a Strikeforce middleweight bout which dropped him to 3-5 in the promotion.
Just try and let that sink in for a moment, because I still can't comprehend it, and I'm not sure I ever will.
