@senseisama3974 Robbie won't stuff the takedowns though. Get ready for Benny Blonco to get his full-fledged butt fuck on.

Robbie "The Glen" Lawler earned his CTE!

@wut3358 An ad hominem response, really? My ability to fight is absolutely irrelevant in regards to their fighting ability. MMA comment sections would be a preverbial ghost town, if only professional fighters could access them and leave content.

It's ultra stacked! Stoked!

@maybachyard unfortunately. Actually, to think all these fights actually come to fruition is nuts. At least two will get scrapped, but sometimes the replacements might be better. Keep your fingers crossed!

@alexquezada3464 The three stooges. These knuckleheads couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag now. Between the three of them, we might see one or two more wins total. But I'll admit, I've always liked all three fighters too. No riod issues and they always got after it, win or lose. Too bad we never got to see Nick get a belt. Hendo almost got one in the Bisping rematch, so ya never know.

@alexquezada3464 Yeah, I hear that! But GSP was a finisher back in the day, but he went ultra technical after Serra clipped him -- played it safe after that. I still think he's arguably the PfP best, but he could be boring. He was a smart fighter though. I think Robbie had the most successful career [in my best GSP accent ] out of the three you mentioned though, especially considering his longevity. Nearly 2 decades, crazy shit!. Hope he can enjoy his retirement yrs, hes been in some wars.

@wut3358 BTW, your suggestion is not surprising, seeing that your AKA/psudonym/alias/profile name is "You Don't Know Me." Lol I don't need to know you, to realize you're an insecure baby-man, who's thought process is driven by emotion. It's exactly how women think, but instead of putting on the fake "tough guy" persona, they smile at one another and talk shit behind their adversaries back. So contradictory and ironically, I "Do Know You" exactly who you are: you're that guy.

@senseisama3974 IDK what you guys are thinking. This is not a good match up for Robbie. He's going to get mauled. It's not even questionable. Robbie's last win was nearly 5 yrs ago against a version of Cowboy that was off. Strange fight. Askren by UD, via maul job. Robbie simply has lost the spark. It's gone! He had it longer than most, but it's finally burned out. Trust me, you'll see.

@tyralbigballsoffire1480 Not to be a jerk, but you simply don't understand certain nuances of the sport. Whatever gave you the impression that Robbie is a "world class wrestler" is beyond me. His takedown-D is solid, but he's not a grapple at all, never has been. Granted, what I'm about to suggest is speculative, but this is a situation where someone does not understand what high level wrestling is: Ben is a SUPER HIGH LEVEL wrestler, who's skills have not erroded like most MMA practitioners w a strong wrestling background, because they're working on other techniques, such as striking and BJJ -- they lose their sharpness as wrestlers. BEN DOESNT DO THIS. He wrestles constantly and is still involves w international and folkstyle wrestling camps. Here's a scenario, Khabib is a high level wrestler and still trains in this discipline, almost to the level of what you'd see from a Russian cadet. We all knew Conor had superb takedown-D: always has and always will. But Khabib is so fucking good it didn't matter. At one point, Khabib took a terrible deep shot. He was out of position, too far for a single (let alone a double, power double or high crotch), etc, but his wrestling is so crisp and most fighters don't experience his level of wrestling; but Khabib made one tiny adjustment and turned a deep, horribly looking shot into an impromptu ankle pick. He's that fuckin good. Regarding Ben in this regard, he's arguable better in terms of his ability to impose folkstyle wrestling techniques in MMA. HES GOING TO ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE ROBBIE. If you're a betting man, put the farm on it. This fight is a lock of the yr. No easier way to win a few hundred or thousand bucks. Robbie CANNOT win this fight. I repeat, he can not win! Sure, I'll get negative feedback for this comment, but this is one of those rare times when you simply know something and it requires no deep explanation as to why: it's simply a fact. I'm telling ya, when I've been this certain of a fight, which has occurred maybe 4 times in 20-yrs, I've never been wrong.
