The rematch of one of 2014’s best fights is upon us as UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks takes on former EliteXC champion Robbie Lawler.
The two faced off back in March in a back-and-forth affair. Lawler used his savvy striking and veteran skills to push Hendricks to the brink of defeat, but Hendricks fell back on his formidable wrestling to get the decision.
Nine months later, Lawler has climbed his way back into contention as Hendricks has nursed an arm injury. Now, the two fighters are dedicated to doing just a bit better than they did in March. For Lawler, that means getting over the razor’s edge and defeating Hendricks. For Hendricks, that means undeniably establishing himself as the undisputed welterweight champion.
