Awesome poster. The only one who looks off is Melendez. Looks like Supes.

Prediction: wrong Hendricks   wrong Decision  

I am kind of bummed the Vitor and Weidman fight got scrapped. This fight is nearly as good though. I still see Hendricks coming out with the win here though. Lawler is definitely the top contender I just don't think he is better than Hendricks.

Lawler looks a little bit like Tito Ortiz, but it is still really cool.

Prediction: wrong Hendricks   wrong Decision  

I actually hadn't managed to watch the first fight until just now and I'm even more deeply confused after seeing it than I was for this fight on paper. 

  • Hendricks looked like he had improved significantly rather quickly from the GSP fight, his striking looked better than ever
  • Lawler's power still got to him in rounds 3 and 4
  • Hendricks was hurt pretty early in the fight. Did that affect his performance?
  • Will Hendricks look better without the arm issue or was the time he spent on surgery and recovery more detrimental to his preparation?
  • Lawler's stayed healthy and got in two more fights while Hendricks has been recovering. Will Lawler be more ready for the rematch?

I think their first fight was the fight of the year. Hendricks was hurt yet he pulled it out in the last round to win. Both showed tremendous heart and that is what we want to see. I would compare this to the Ali Frazier first fight.

I still can't get my self to like Hendricks but he did deserve that first match and I think this is going to be a good fight either way.

Prediction: correct Lawler   correct Decision  

Robbie Lawler I truly believe will be capitalizing a lot on Johny Hendricks' mistakes and has been 2-0 in dominant fashion since their first fight against Rory MacDonald and Matt "The Immortal" Brown and his glass body both by Decision. Robbie Lawler has had time to establish a gameplan while Hendricks despite his athleticism has yet to get his first successful Welterweight title defense. This is a situation where in the playoffs one team who's resting more than the other isn't as successsful (Hendricks) while the other team who's rested less ends up winning (Lawler). "Ruthless" has very good striking and has a good chance of keeping the fight off the ground to prevent Hendricks from using his high-level wrestling. Despite being on the Dolce Diet, Hendricks has to speed up his preparation to make weight 2 months earlier due to Weidman's hand injury and the 2 title main events swapping with each other. The champ I do commend for narrowly escaping with a UD win before getting surgery from a torn bicep, but I think Robbie's time in the ring to establish his gameplan will win him the belt. It'd be interesting to see Ruthless and Rory MacDonald in a rematch for the title and maybe creating a trilogy from it. If Rory fought Hendricks, I think he could finish him or take him to a dominant UD win though if Hendricks gets his signature left hand which has his one-punch KO power, then he will destroy Rory early potentialy speaking.

Boy have I been gone for quite some time. Anyways, just as with movies, the sequel is never as good as the original. No doubt the fight will be very entertaining, but I see Hendricks taking this one again. Hendricks might be more inclined to use his wrestling after how close it was last time, and that's simply a weapon Lawler does not possess.

The fight is a coin flip, but it would be really cool to see the UFC belt wrapped around Lawler's waist.
