Robbie Lawler punished an MMA icon when he made a huge mistake against him during an epic UFC meeting.
In his phenomenal career, the American has listed a reputation as one of the most violent men in combat history.
After all, Lawler is the warrior who shattered Rory Macdonald's nose in one of the most brutal wars that the sport has ever seen.
And that is not the only memorable fight he has had, with another favorite of fans who pushes him to his limit in a remarkable battle.

Carlos Condit says he made a big mistake against Robbie Lawler
On January 2, 2016, on UFC 195, in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, US, Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit delivered something very special.
After five epic rounds it was 'ruthless' who appeared with a split decision victory. However, it could have been so different if his opponent had not made a mistake.
In an episode of the Jaxxon Podcast, the former interim champion said: “First round, maybe about a minute or two in the fight, I threw a crazy switch uppercut, catch him, put him on his face, he immediately jumps up again because Robbie is off -savage.
“In the first round I just kept it on him and tried to end. Second round I go out and try to do the same.
“I think I fell in love with that technique:” Okay, didn't work the first time, I'm going to let it work another time. “I was caught with my head up; he dropped me.
“Maybe third or fourth round, I had injured him. I think I caught him with a three -part, then with a hook and had him on deer legs. He survived.
“Robbie Lawler is one of my favorites of all time.”
Robbie Lawler becomes emotional when his entrance is confirmed in the UFC Hall of Fame
There is no doubt that Lawler is one of the worst men who have ever walked the face of the earth.
With that in mind it is only that his performance is recognized by the promotion in which he had so many epic attacks.
Before Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev took their walks last week, the broadcast took a while to think about the career of a real pioneer.
After an emotional video, Lawler fought against the tears while he discovered that he will be initiated into the UFC Hall of Fame.
