Robbie Lawler defends the Middleweight title!
...wow. GSP was just not ready for this one. He wasn't evasive enough to get past Lawler's lethal striking game, and stood too long, and failed at too many takedowns. Terrible title fight. But we did have some really good main card and prelim fights this card! SO THERE'S THAT!!!
