Wonderboy would beat Lawler. At this point I'd bet money on that, and I ******* love Lawler.

That said, Robbie's style is perfect for fighting a guy like Wonderboy because he doesn't wait around and watch his opponent tap dance. He'll either pressure and get rid of that pesky mid-range distance Wonderboy loves so much or die trying.
All in all, Rory got a lovely televised sparring session in to help him prepare for his next Bellator fight since I can already hear Dana's "we want guys on the way up not the way down" routine (even though Rory dismantles 95% of his "on the way up" guys).
I wouldn't be surprised of they offered Rory a pay cut for his next contract just to get rid of him. He's no longer top prospect for dat Canada PPV money. Long live OAM.

Carlos Condit vs Donald Cerrone seems like a really awesome fight that should happen. Let them headline a Fox card.

But, yeah dude. I'm feeling Cerrone vs Condit @200, 201 or 202. Hell that would be a pretty good headliner as well.

Also, OAM is solid but doesn't look remotely close to a guy who's going to be headlining PPVs anytime soon, if ever.

As for OAM, I was joking. Dude's not a fighter, he's an amazing athlete, hard worker, solid base, but the UFC are looking for someone to bring in them GSP Canada numbers and thought it would be Rory. Now due to him having the audacity to fight out his contract, I'm pretty sure he'll be thrown under the bus, bad-mouthed and belittled by one bald ************ and they'll look for the next Canadian GSP. Given how basic their knowledge of fighting is, I wouldn't be too surprised if they think OAM's their man.
