Hendricks vs. Lawler Wiki
Fighting for the vacant welterweight belt, two-time NCAA Division I Champion Johny Hendricks fights former EliteXC champ Robbie Lawler. Both heavy-hitting fighters tend to keep it on the feet, but it could be argued that Hendricks could took away some of Lawler's arsenal with takedowns. Though Robbie is only a year older than Hendrick's, he has 14 more pro fights in his resume. With both fighters owning one-punch knockout power, it'll be interesting to see who will land the first power punch/combo.
Although he was heavy on his first attempt, Hendricks eventually made weight with just seven minutes to go before the deadline.
