Few fighters embody their nickname better than reigning UFC welterweight champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler. Lawler has time and time again proved his warrior spirit inside of the Octagon, fighting with a relentless and ruthless style and backing down from no man.

Because of his that style, Lawler has become a fan favorite and will defend his crown once again this upcoming weekend (Sat., July 30, 2016) in the main event of UFC 201 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Atlanta, Georgia.

Looking to make the third defense of his 170-pound strap, the “Ruthless” one will take on No. 4-ranked Tyron “The Chosen One” Woodley. Woodley, a former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, possesses a unique combination of speed and explosive power, and he should provide the champion with a solid test.

As the fight nears closer, it’s an interesting time to look back on the legendary career of Robbie Lawler. Lawler’s career has seen hardships as well as triumph, but he’s always brought it on fight night, and because of that, he’s compiled his fair share of brutal victories.

Let’s take a look back on just eight times that Lawler absolutely destroyed his opponent:

Robbie Lawler will defend his welterweight title against No. 1 contender Tyron Woodley as the main event of UFC 201 on Saturday.

The bout marks the third time Lawler will defend his strap since capturing the title from Johny Hendricks back in December 2014. Since that time, Lawler has bested Rory MacDonald in an instant classic and edged out a hotly contested decision over Carlos Condit.

Lawler’s continued success puts him on course to meet Woodley, who has hovered on the periphery of the welterweight title picture since he joined the UFC in 2013. The challenger’s opportunity comes after winning four of five contests. Most recently, Woodley eked out a decision over fellow contender Kelvin Gastelum.

So how will the title fight play out? 

We’ll break down the matchup, see who has the edge where and examine how the contest might ultimately pan out.
