I love the sentiments of this but “soulless” isn’t a word I’d use to talk about Lawler. Savage? Absolutely. 😂 In all seriousness both of these guys are 2 of my faves and Robbie has given me some of the best moments as a fan the sport has had to offer. Thanks for all of it Ruthless, love a fan forever.

Hes got Robbie confused with Mike Tyson

[@bleekskaduwee6762]

[@jacoballen6269]

Man literally went out with a bang too. That’s how you should retire. Leave that cage with a soul as parting gift. Lol

[@Allen.Fepuleai]

I saw Robbie in person at a bar after a king of the cage event.

[@dariodicarlo8745]

Headbutting should be legal in mma

[@clatonbigsby662]

they should bring back Pride rules but with elbows to a grounded opponent two separate the fighters from the athletes

[@michaellee4537]

It should be no rounds and no ref's, and you win by a stoppage, or one person quits. That would be far superior sport.

[@dariodicarlo8745]

@@michaellee4537 I disagree refs are there for good reason without the ref people would die for sure 💀 really I just think headbutts and kicks and knees should be legal on grounded opponents

You can tell the only reason Robbie is saying no to biting is because he thinks its ineffecctive compared to eye gouging or head butting. Man just wants maximum damage Rob was right 😂

I bit someone in a fight. Its extremely effective.
