Brown's heart in the Silva fight was insane. He was literally getting dropped at each and every kick to the body, and didn't give a shit.
Lawler was one round of gas remaining away from taking the title. I believe I had it two dominant rounds to Hendricks, two dominant rounds to Lawler, one dominant round to Hendricks, and it was just cause Lawler couldn't stay on his feet anymore.
This fight is absolutely EPIC. I think Lawler is going to win, by stoppage, but because his boxing is more technical and lands a slight bit harder. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Brown stand toe to toe with him for 3 rounds, Lawler again barely be able to stand after the insanity of the war, and then have Brown pull one of the greatest comebacks out of the bag.
...This can very well be fight of the year. Very high percentage this fight ends via TKO/KO. Matt's relentless attack of sick standing elbows, knees and punches meets the brutal counterpunching of Robbie. This fight shouldn't go the distance, unless Robbie can't finish Matt. I picked Lawler decisively but he had better avoid Matt's ground game and those standing elbows of his. Robbie is deep in his prime and still has that nasty one punch to end everything. The fight card is nuts. Perhaps the best line-up so far this year. Amazing looking card...
I honestly don't think that his cardio is what's gonna be the factor in this fight. Even if he did slow down. Brown won't break him. This is lawler we're talking about!!
You say that like it should mean something... Lawler has been broke before, and Matt Brown's whole style seems to be based around breaking people mentally...
I know lawler was broke but he has plenty of money now.
Also when I speak of lawler like that.don't take my word seriously. Because he's like Superman to me. I love the guy So much. When I met him I was like a teenager fan girl
Forget Weidman/Machida (even though it was a good fight) this is the real fight of the year right here.
Expecting Lawler to work the body seeing as though that seems to be a weakness but there is just no quit in Matt Brown and he does not stop coming forward, like ever. As I said in another thread, reminds me of a Diaz/Condit hybrid with his style and his ground game has improved tremendously.
Yes, most of them looked really unhealthy. Jędrzejczyk looked like an anorectic model. Even Nogueira didn't look good. Only guys who looked healthy were Lawler and surprisingly Johnson, who even was a little below weight limit.
For people citing Hendricks Vs Lawler as a testament to Lawler having weak cardio, that fight was a toe to toe war. If this fight is the same, of course it will be similar, but I think Lawler goes 5 rounds comfortably against anyone "normal" lol.
I have to take Lawler here, Brown has looked like he crumbles a little bit when people go to the body on him Lawler has the chin to get inside and expose that.
