Robbie Lawler defends the Middleweight title!
Lawler beat the shit out of Askren. Askren needs takedowns. Otherwise he is a punching bag. And not one of those good ones, but the ones made of air. The shitty air punching bags. That's Ben Askren vs. Lawler.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
