Robbie Lawler's unique view of submissions
Robbie Lawler recently restored his career in the Hall of Fame during a conversation with Ariel Helwani.
'Ruthless' was played an old interview clip where he talked about taking the souls of his opponents.
Lawler was more interested in his comments about Diaz who submitted McGregor, instead of beating him up.
“Diaz took his neck and was nice to him,” he said in the June 2016 interview.
Almost ten years later, the 43-year-old has doubled on his comments about UFC 196.
Lawler stood on it: 'He just took his crazy neck and left him off the hook.
'[Diaz] I could have done what he wanted … I want to beat people together, so I fought.
“I had zero submission attempts in the UFC. I work on entries, but in a fight I try to beat him up.
'If you submit someone, there are tricks, right? There are small tricks, such as: 'Ah, you cheated on me'.
“But if you grab someone's ass, there was really no trick for that.”
What is the next step for Nate Diaz?
Nate Diaz stopped the most important promotion of MMA after stitching Tony Ferguson on UFC 279 in September 2022.
Since then he has switched to boxing for fighting with Jake Paul and his old BMF -Rival Jorge Masvidal.
Now the 40-year-old has called a three-man Hitlist while looking at the UFC in 2025 at the UFC.
“I intend to go back to the UFC,” he said on the HJR podcast.
“If they have me, I would like to go back and f – who is someone there.
“I don't fight there because there is no one to really fight. It is quite slowly rolling.
“Temporary [McGregor] is back. Me and he certainly got unfinished things. Must happen. “
“It is the most entertaining S – there is,” Diaz added about the BMF title. 'I hope you know you are wearing my belt.
“Those are the boys there I want to fight like Max Holloway. But I would also like to fight other boys, also very well …
'[Ilia] Topuria, he's really good. But he is smaller than me. “
