We are in for another fantastic battle on December 16th when Former Welterweight Champ Robbie Lawler takes on Rafael Dos Anjos in the Main Event. Lawyer and Dos Anjos have very different styles of fighting, Lawler is a brawler (yes I did that on purpose), Robbie likes to keep the fight up in the air and does whatever he can to stay off the mat. He has the striking ability to knock out anyone that steps in the octagon with him, averaging over 3.5 significant strikes per minute. Besides just landing strikes, Lawler finishes strikes, meaning his punches pack a serious punch. Robbie has a 28-11 record in his career but comes in a winner of 9 of his last 11 fights. Dos Anjos on the other hand is a fighter who isn’t afraid to take the fight to the ground. Rafael has competed in 37 professional fights through out his up and down career. He is on quite the upswing as of late winning 12 of his last 15 bouts. Dos Anjos is riding a extra high after receiving The Performance of The Night at UFC 215 with a win over Neil Magny. Dos Anjos is giving up 3 inches on his reach which can prove to be extremely important. If Dos Anjos can’t take the fight to the mat and neutralize Lawlers punching ability it will be a loooooong night for Dos Anjos.
Besides those 2 studs in the Main Event this card is riddled with great fighters squaring off. Ponzinibbo is taking his 26-3 record up against young up and coming fighter in Mike Perry. Also featured on this card will be standouts such as Josh Emmett, Glover Texeira, and Danny Roberts. This will be a must watch night of fights, my prediction that Lawler beats Dos Anjos in a split decision, both men with be bloody and beaten but when its all said in done it will be Lawlers hand in the air.
