Robbie Lawler

"Ruthless". That's what they call Robbie Lawler, and is part of the UFC welterweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 46 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

This is power striking with numbers behind it — 22 KO/TKO wins, 3.85 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.

Last time out he beat Niko Price (KO/TKO (Punches) R1) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.

He's 44 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
