If a Robbie Lawler opponent falls but no one is watching, does he make a sound?
If you’re one of the ones who has been watching the past few years, you’d probably say so. They tend to grunt or groan as they’re wailed on, produce unnatural thuds and smacks from their body cavities as various shots land or maybe offer a weird smush as their nose gives way to be replaced by a gaping crater.
Once more on Saturday night, the UFC will seek to answer the question as it pits it meanest, most savage champion against TyronWoodley, a challenger most people know as much for briefly being silent muscle in Straight Outta Compton as they do for his road to a title shot.
