Robbie Lawler defends the Middleweight title!
Pat was clearly uncomfortable fighting his friend. Lawler wasn't and destroyed Pat as a result. Not much to add here. Pat is probably pretty sad right now. But at least he doesn't have any stomach tattoos.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
