[@Phantom77083]

Easily the most badass fighter in the UFC today.

[@sothickitssickk]

u forgot nick diaz

[@PainofRiOt]

all these newcomers are selecting nick like he's a badass. chill out homie, nick is great and has good skills but when it comes to being a badass theres no one like Robbie

[@stormrevenant]

+sharif Uddin Nick is the only guy to ever finish Robbie with strikes. So yeah, he's badass.

[@sothickitssickk]

sharif Uddin LOL u are a noob. i been following nick since the early 2000s. And also, you need to know that his cardio and jiujitsu is too good for robbbie. robbie cannot keep up with his pace. styles make fights. same scenario as nate diaz vs conor mcgregor. robbie will get tko'd or end by submission

[@stormrevenant]

Bob Mills So Rory is a bum?

[@Londos1995]

Ppv draw or not, he is always involved in the most exciting fights and is a true champion!

[@Brandonian3030]

I'm not a buzz guy I'm a go out there and beat someone's you know what kind of guy - Robbie lawler

[@standardFifa]

He ment ass right?

[@petehimself]

Nah.... soul

[@grahamdaniels4]

+Pete Himself he got his consciousness snatched

[@foresthoe8072]

@@standardFifafor sure loll

[@amannoobs]

the whole mma community respects you more than you think. talk sme trash to the camera and bring in that casual crowd. out of em all you truly deserve big cheques and ufc always does you bad

[@Cranklin1234]

Why would he be something that he's not. He's not a trash talker why start now

[@kjellxd1]

+Frank well, because it sells, i guess..

[@ParkourUnited100]

+Frank the post rory interview with rogan shows that he could talk trash. he should do it more robbie is a beast and deserves big money

[@TheChurchofCacti]

You don't deserve big checks unless you bring big money to the company.

[@kopxpert]

@Kjell that's the problem with having PPV, the media and "fans" care about star power more than actual skills like in other sports. I wish UFC do away with PPVs and put the best fighters they can offer on FOX FS1 & FS2 or other "free" or cable networks. That way they have a bigger tv deal than they currently have. Other sportsfans don't have to pay 50/60 bucks an event to watch the best athletes in their sport why should we? Luckily for me I don't live in the US and don't have to pay anything since we get everything on cable (except fightpass cards). I wouldn't be happy if I was an MMA fan living in the US

[@roberts59a]

Nick diaz vs robbie lawler 2. We need that rematch now.

[@TitanIsBack]

It woul be the first time I'd have to root against Lawler since the first time they fought. Might be the first ufc ppv that I'd actually buy too.

[@BangBebop]

Nick needs to fight someone and win, but it would be cool.

[@jamrockk331]

+TitanIsBack true

[@AstroTrain100]

Exactly, earn a title shot.

[@ogivi-9296]

Nick hasn't fought ever since Anderson but I hope he gets a fight and wins and hopefully we can see Nick vs Robbie II

[@TeshanYT]

He's delusional if he thinks that he doesn't get the respect he deserves from the fans

[@IvymikeOppen]

He only says that because he always look him self as the underdog with something to prove (he said that in an interview)

[@Ynotnow9900]

it's probably a money thing

[@51dodoc]

No, a lot of fans act like if Wonderboy already won the title, really direspectful for the champion.

[@Thorword]

Well, Wonderboy did beat Hendricks, so he should be the lineal champion now anyway.

[@51dodoc]

Thorword What ?! Gastelum beat Hendricks too and Robbie beat Pre-USADA Hendricks for the title, I don't understand your way of thinking sorry.

[@MrFantasticIam]

Lawler is like a real version of a Hulk, humble, soft spoken and controls his anger. But when he lets go if the tamed beast within him he is brutal and will only stop when his opponent is slayed. UFC 201 Beast mode ON!!!!

[@jimyhustle]

Robbie "same answers" Lawler

[@Fightlifetx]

Robbie" I don't want the media twisting my words up" Lawler

[@RYNO73]

It is what it is...

[@megadeuce2350]

I like it tho

[@hanswurscht2849]

dude u got me with ur profile pic..... i slapped the screen....

[@Someone-mp6mj]

"I'm not worried"

[@MrGlinvad]

*Robbie "it is what it is" "obviously"Lawler*

[@DizGuys]

Imagine how badly Lawler would've decimated mcgregor...I'd still like to see that ㅅㅅ

[@PM-wb6tb]

Lawler would fu** McTapper's ass and nothing he can do about it

[@Napalm52]

he cant fight welterweight. Top 5 in that division would decimate Mcgregor

[@edgiebraahhh7280]

+Nick Palmer hell if someone like nate can win against him the top 10 can

[@crymebeast]

Not too bad , believe it or not...coz it would *END SOON*

[@michaelvigil1417]

I would love to see Conor's ass get wrecked by him, but Lawler is on a completely other level than McG, let alone different division. Lawler is a dude Conor should totally avoid.

[@th3silentassassin989]

Robbie is a legend and just everything a champ should be.

[@Bob-rj4jz]

The real question is when are the wars gonna catch up with him

[@Samson_Hagos]

TFATK

[@asswipegtaonline4150]

but you can tell he's been punched in the head 2 much

[@BilboB]

It is an obvious fact that Robbie Lawler has been to Mars, seeing as there is absolutely NO life on Mars.

[@mrbleach3501]

hahahahh

[@smartperson325]

lol nice one. he is so boring talk some trash and endorse your fights

[@sergea4779]

How can you not like Robbie. Win or Lose, he's given us some classic wars.....he'll be back stronger.

[@salsung73]

Robbie you are awesome and thank you for what you bring to the MMA. Really appreciate you 🙏😃🤗

[@briancox7875]

He's a great guy, a great fighter and a great champion. I have no idea how anyone couldn't respect the man. Win or lose, I love the guy.

[@saesang352]

Robbie seems like a really cool and humble guy.

[@What7641]

why do so many fighters keep saying, "it is what it is"

[@allistergraham6704]

+Kilpton Ximaz 😂

[@ryanikiman5213]

who knows, it is what it is man.

[@zGJungle]

MMAQuickhits fan

[@Dzillarable]

its hard for a fighter to accept an L , so when things are out of their control they condition themselves to keep grounded.

[@callumw6031]

Bruh Robbie shook Ariel up there at the end

[@zmanafacation]

then he realised he might have scared ariel, so he decided to save it by smiling and laughing XD

[@TheDawaKid]

that streight face 🙈

[@drongorius]

Good morning! Obviously,it is what it is !

[@Spirosbotos]

He will always have mine, hes a fucken legend actually, this is the best comeback run the sport has ever seen

[@Supra_Johnny]

monster in the cage, humble outside the cage. Robbie always has my respect!

[@neilcoolon2065]

? 3 years late but Robbie is one of the most respected dudes alive. Dudes a OG. Robbie has all my respect for life

[@ghostghost3753]

you get all the respect Robbie Lawler you are the definition I'm a fighter Warrior heart mine and soul

[@momitaamu6748]

I respect you Robbie!!!!!!!!! Since 2003

[@TheNICZO]

Man this got me so excited -It is what it is -I didn´t want a fight -I don´t pick fighters -Move forward -Try to get better everyday -Sharpen my skills -I´m ready to go and showcase my skills etc...

[@tiagotre1]

thats why mma didn't evolve for so long, old school fighters didn't have personality... all like a vanilla icecream

[@jayluis189]

+Tiago Himura WHAT ? Tito Ortiz, Diaz bros, Rampage Jackson, Mayhem, Forrest Griffin, BJ Penn, Bisping, and Koscheck didn't have personalities??

[@TheNICZO]

salens Everything he says It´s word for word what 90% of the fighters say, that is so boring. I know fighters aren´t the smartest people but, try be yourself. He talkes about getting paid. Why do you think Nate Diaz get´s paid 10times more, is he a better fighter? And he is not WWE, He is just being himself. Just don´t be a Robot, that is all i´m saying.

[@gamessportsandmore3371]

he is being himself that is the thing. most of them are like that not drama quenns like mcgregor. That doesnt mean they do not have personalities they are just dedicated to the craft.

[@jayluis189]

Tiago Himura Baroni ? Serra and Leben ?

[@xaxabel]

such a realist. such a worldbreaker. This dude is such a goddamn inspiration

[@Verbal_Kint416]

The most exciting fighter to watch.

[@KeithFarrell1993]

Man, the MMA community LOVES you Rob

[@PUBLICnoose]

Robbie is so down to earth the peoples champ

[@BreatheThePressure]

LET'S GO ROBBIE!

[@Alkenphel]

As far as Robbie is concerned I totally respect him and think he deserves every ounce of his accomplishments. Robbie has been fighting for a long time. I was the opening fight for the event where he headlined a fight against Frank Trig here in Hawaii. Not taking anything away from Tyrone because I feel he is also deserving. I think were going to see a very good fight tomorrow

[@JonathanJWB1]

Got to love Robbie Lawler.

[@NB-li9hg]

Robbie has to be one of my favorite fighters

[@alxk78]

Robbie, I hope you take all their souls bro. You a fuck'n Gladiator.

[@mpaz48mo]

The best interviewer there is.

[@Lajnus]

Love this man.

[@joeywitt7129]

DIDN'T WATCH THIS WILL LATER 3AM LAWLER IS THE POOR MANS CHAMPION THE PEOPLES CHAMPION I REALLY LIKE HIS HEART!!!

[@rabbychan]

Robbie "showcase my skills" Lawler

[@thaghost1988]

Join the team folks

[@kimdobrin3893]

I respect Robbie Lawler since I saw him fight Arron Riley. At the time he had the same look as Vitor Belfort (fighting style) aggressive, exciting, but then he kind of got lazy,but he was always a great fighter, but now he is more mature, and definitely has all my respect

[@jamrockk331]

Such an anomaly but lovely Guy ahah and he gets all the respect not sure where he's coming from but HE KNOWS WE LOVE HIM

[@WashedCoachWith3Chips]

I really hope he wins tonight!! He's probably the best champion we have in the UFC! As far as entrainment goes.

[@jimmy_iKoN]

Robbie is awesome

[@rabidmuffinn]

Robbie is still my man, he is def slept on

[@iSRS28-ov3ps]

Great guy!

[@TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

I hope we get to see him and Nick fight one more time before either retires

[@Pato4duck]

you're still the man robbie. !!!!

[@detroitmachine1731]

Yeah you do. great fighter

[@3PatrickP]

Love me some Robbie

[@Sobieskicharge]

awesome guy

[@Alex-jj8yt]

Robbie " It is what it is " Lawler

[@refusetolose7528]

Robbies soundbites are priceless

[@reggiea5344]

Robbie has a point. I'll admit, I always view him as the underdog in his fights...Then he wow's me with his skills

[@footie929]

man if you watch his fight with Rory...wow enough said. And I am a Rory fan

[@zekeanthony]

Lawler the man thats that

[@jimmorrison8276]

lmao Robbie gets so serious at the end

[@ciaranyohanbrennan]

some people saying he's a boring interview , I think he just gets asked the wrong questions , Ariel is great and all but you have to realise different fighters are coming from different point of views . There's no point asking him the same thing over and over looking for soundbites and gossip, he's never going to rise to that but that being said he clearly has this dark inner thing going on that gets revealed every now and again

[@FitnessGeekz]

with his. answers why even interview him

[@Gulatzo]

Robbie "It is what it is" Lawler!

[@glowshaketv]

Yes he does...

[@Harryfb97]

Can't wait for him to fight Matt Brown on Saturday

[@bilalsyed5310]

Me too! Ellenberger vs Woodley look like a great fight as well

[@Harryfb97]

Jake Woodley is an absolute animal

[@JaayProdiJaay]

L

[@jebkush1052]

No, he's fighting Rose Namujanes.

[@lninyoda300]

that was a war

[@JeredAniki]

ariel was shaking in his boots at the end

[@paulgonzalez8825]

Go get em Robbie!!!

[@mihailomikel3341]

The light skin version of Dragonball's Super Buu character. Lawler is a beast and rightfully so the champ. Works hard, avoids the media circus and goes on about his job.

[@kabukijo3148]

Robbie ''it is what it is" Lawler

[@youtubeviewer2754]

'it is what it is' is the next 'you know what i mean'

[@clemsontigz1]

Lawler is an animal, no one can watch his fights and not respect him, it's cleshay but his heart is his biggest asset. You fight long enough and fight the top contender over an over its gonna happen, your gonna get caught and that's what happened, Robbie is a later rounds type fighter, it usually take him a round or 2 to gain his range , much respect champ, he will be back I'm sure..

[@fahadalawadi5914]

I missed Ariel doing 1 on 1 interviews

[@harishobh9570]

so different from when his in the octagon

[@BestCBDCenter]

"obviously it is what it is obviously"

[@LoadedKlip]

I was expecting a huge scar for his mouth/lip. Incredible healing.

[@jeffreylyons7846]

It was gone only a couple weeks after the fight when he went on fs1. UFC has a plastic surgeon repair most of the bad cuts

[@TheDawaKid]

that must of left scar tissue. ouch...

[@sergiobruce2175]

who wrote the description?

[@CdnPoli]

Let's see a Nick Diaz vs Robbie Lawler II...

[@Kampup]

What happened? i fell asleep before the end....

[@MLGEstrada]

I don't think its about respect from the fans but more about how fans won't buy his PPV's............Crazy that he's not a draw.

[@howtodoelectrical200]

What kind of shirt is that wit the ✌🏾️ logo

[@ebahns]

Robbie YOU DA MAN! GONNA KICK SOME ASS SATURDAY!!

[@algonzalez1385]

when Robbie gave ariel helwani that look on 5:51 ariel pissed himself

[@Ragamuffen]

Fix the title to, Lawler believes he doesnt get the respect he deserves

[@balance5216]

Robbie's in the new Super Smash Bros

[@JonnyAugz]

As real as they come

[@Prenner111]

Robbie is one of the best fighters to ever fight inside the cage.

[@eastwood111]

Obviously he already said that

[@jessksyniuk6774]

Robbie u are a mma legend but we all know ...

[@harrisonwestwell4680]

It says he fighting against Matt brown

[@jcole8659]

damn Robbie is a chill guy Robbie wanna smoke some purple after you retire hammy

[@tommygunz341]

[@marconunez174]

Robbie "Im'a go out there and beat somebody's.. you know what kinda guy" Lawler

[@RikaKazak]

"I'm not trying to get buzz"....but he wants everyone to be on his side. Doesn't work like that.
