Robbie Lawler defends the Middleweight title!
Holy wits. Robbie Lawler makes it CRYSTAL clear he IS the ManMMA Middleweight Champion and despite Henderson being the best of the best, he was dominated by Lawler here. In striking no less! I meam, I guess don;t get me wrong, he came and fought and fought pretty well, but Lawler is that damned good to make Hendo's efforts seem less than legit. But they are both legit and legiter!
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
