Not because he's going to get beat. I mean because these statistics are a bit scary for someone who has been fighting pro for 15-years already. He made base $500,000 this weekend with PPV points probably pushing his purse over $1-million. If you're Robbie, do you keep fighting for more than another year? http://mmajunkie.com/2016/01/ufc-19...lawlers-strike-absorption-reaches-record-high Lawler has absorbed 691 significant strikes in UFC competition since Jan. 1, 2013, the most of any fighter in the company since that date. Lawler’s 531 significant strikes absorbed in UFC title fights are the most [in] history. Lawler absorbs 5.5 significant strikes per minute in UFC title fights, the second most in history behind Frank Mir (6.3).
I know mental health and brain health is important and a hot topic in today's sporting world, but these are grown men. If they want to fight, let them fight. I understand making children and even college athletes aware of it all, but these are grown adults. Until Robbie starts slurring his words or expresses concerns, I don't think there should be a limit or even an after thought about his mental health. Every interview I've seen, he seems okay.
