UFC 189's Robbie Lawler 'showed everyone he is a true fighter,' Johnny Hendricks campaigns for trilogy match next

Robbie Lawler put the entire welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on notice with a stinging straight right that left former No. 1 contender Rory MacDonald's nose shattered and his confidence bruised.

The pair of talented 170-pounders went to war, turning in gutsy performances in the UFC 189 co-main event spot last night (Sat. July 11, 2015) inside of the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. "Ruthless" emerged victorious after enduring an impeccable boxing gameplan from his Canadian challenger to stun MacDonald in a come-from-behind, technical-knockout victory in round five.
