You could lose The next 15 fights in a row & you’ll STILL never here A Word of disrespect outta me about this OG Love you Robbie
Anyone who talks bad about Robbie is a fool anyway. He deserves everyone's respect and will 100% be a hall of Famer
That's what I said about tyron.
Lawler would lose 99% of his remaining fanbase if that occurred though, lets be honest. He has to hang up the gloves soon.
He is a good dude for sure.Given a lot to the sport.
@@jesusiskingofkings4428 Who wasn't?
So crazy that him and nick fought in the UFC 17 years ago. Nick was 20 and Robbie 21. Just kids. Real OGs of the fight game. They really live that ish
The first fight was in strike force I think
Actually they weren't kids. They were 20 and 21
@@utkarsh144 It was UFC, both of them went to Strikeforce sometime after that fight and then both back to the UFC
@@jasonglass9768 you must be 20 or 21 then
@@jasonglass9768 in life terms that's young. In mma fighting terms that's a kid
Fans saying Robbie Lawler looks like an old Thanos.
Robbie: I don't even know who you are!
🤣
Yeah I think Nick gonna fight like he did vs Anderson, clowning around and doing stupid stuffs. Like Nate vs Edwards.
That camera/filter isn't doing him any favors but bro is looking rough. He's nearly 40 years old though and been fighting most his life
Lmfaooo😂😂😂
He looks like a very poorly animated Tito Ortiz
Robbie looks like he came out of a secret CIA cloning chamber. Still has the pink goo on.
so spot on 🤣
😂😂 lol
😂😆😂 legend mate
Bro i thought i was the only one
You mean a clone trooper from star wars because he's such a badass 🪖
How does anyone dislike introverted Robbie Lawler, always authentic and never trying to impress anyone.
He does his talking in the ring and that is where it matters most for a true fighter like Lawler. Everything else he saves for his friends and family.
@@moto-fl3rd Absoloutley agree. It's too bad Robbie rarely gets recognition for his personality but that's just the way the world works these days. The quiet humble warrior is rarely embraced by the masses. Luckily Robbie is such an entertaining fighter that he does have millions of fans cause he does more then enough marketing for himself with the way he fights. Big Nick fan but big Robbie fan too, just glad to see the two of them in there going at it again.
Lawler is awesome
I don't dislike him, but he just sounds uninterested here, not introverted.
@@darthfakington2227 Wrong
The lighting makes Rob look terrifying. Like Hes half dead
Old. The word you were looking for is "old".
His dull, listless, vapid personality makes him sound half dead
He looks greasy n acne covered..like he's going through a second puberty.
😂😂😂😂 OMG!!!
@@adambrake3633 🤣🤣🤣
Robbie looks like an AI robot human that has been pre-programmed to deflect stupid interview questions.
Lol
When you see a comment that you know is gonna blow up.
Hilarious
Nick wouldn't even take the interview
@@LSMG2004 this is not the last you will see of me
One of my favourite fighters of all time. His fights against Rory and Condit still give me chills.
Condit got robbed against Lawler
@@nsalx4538 facts
One of the greatest fights of all times
thats a long time to have chills
Man he forever changed Rory that night!
Robbie using the same phone he had the 1st time he fought Nick Diaz lol
Most likely he's on a computer
@@Chapin_42 I bet you are fun at party's lol

Robbie keeps it real
Why does Lawler look like hes transitioning into the Thanos role?

😂😂
I think it's a filter 🤔
It's a shame that one of these two legends has to lose. The fans will win though no matter what.
Gonna be a boring fight
@@furhadnasserjah123 Kinda Nate vs Leon or Nick vs Anderson lol Yeah I smell that coming.
@@furhadnasserjah123 what?? Neither guy has ever been in a boring fight and their first fight wasn't boring. Where would you even get that idea
Technically it can end as a DRAW or NC :) . But I do agree with you !
@@furhadnasserjah123 not if someone gets hurt
"I've been listening to audio books"
"Any good audio books?"
"Man, I just listen to what I listen to"
Man, Lawler is a tough egg to crack.
Unfu*k yourself was probably one of them. Great book!! I listened to it 20x already, as I continue on the journey to Unfu*k myself!

Robbie Lawler looks like he is in SAFE MODE .
🤣🤣💀
I like how the interviewer opened with a question that wasn't at all relevant, that was lit
Maybe it was relevant to building rapport
Breaking the ice.
Should’ve done more research.. considering he said he hasn’t watched football in 4 years
Robbie could've easily went with it a little more. Guy just said nah its been 4 years....lol
For real dude, I'll never get that 5 seconds back!
I’m rooting for Diaz, but I think Lawler will win. I’ll feel bad for whoever loses tho, both are legends.
Right! RL just seems to still have power & speed! But LFG!!
Yes
@@renren2159 and active the years nick has been out.
Don’t see how lawyer wins tbh, he’s can’t wrestlefuck Nick, Nick has a granite chin, always in top condition and his boxing and volume are better than Robbies. It’s mma and anything can happen but Nick has the advantages stylistically.
Oh yea? What is your prediction?
Lawler got $8,000 for their first fight, Diaz $6,000 (would have been $3,000 but he won)
Insane.
UFC still ripping fighters off...
You’re mma videos were the best in 2015 and 2016. Please make those long mma update videos with the funny Enders. @mmadigest
It’s crazy ring girls get paid more then some of the fighters smfh
@Breast Milk Alabama espn you dare shadow ban teleportdinero
Robbie such a laid back humble person u can't help but to like the guy..
Robbie is hands down the nicest Killer on earth. Sorry Wonderboy but Robbie doesn’t even raise his voice
Okay and when is the last time robbie won a fight?
@@BeastEdits107 when is the last time wonderboy won a championship?
@@moto-fl3rd is that an honest rebuttal? He’s asking about a single fight while your talking world championship belts ?!?!? 🤣😂🤣
@@codygrant9066 answer it though
@@codygrant9066 which would you tell your kids about the last fight you won or the time you won a championship and defending that championship and being the best fighter in the world? Does anyone ask Michael Jordan the last time he won a basketball game?
I always love seeing the change in Robbie, switching from the nicest person to the fiercest the second the octagon door is closed.
Honestly Whittaker is more drastic and intense...but I love Robbie so much, he gonna win.
Nick Diaz & Robbie Lawler are 2 of my most favorite fighters. I can’t believe my eyes and ears that they are actually fighting !!!! Much love to both no matter what the outcome!! Love it !!!
They already fought was 13 yrs ago you missed it.
@@Ronycoolman00 - you’re kidding right? First off it was 17 years ago, Not 13 and yeah I know that. I can’t believe there’s a rematch 17 years later of one of the great fights of all time.
Robbies voice does not match what he does
True lol 😂
Just like mike Tyson lmao
That's usually how it goes lol
Lmao Idk why this is the first time I’ve heard his voice
He does his talking in the cage.
Crazy to think these two legends have been brawling over the past 20-years.
One of them has. The other one took a nice 6 year break. Chin gonna be made of iron
Crazy to think they first fought 17 years ago lmaoo

@Lydia Renee I don’t even have the time to pick a loser to a fight that really should’ve been rematched a long time ago
He’s taking not just his neck, also his soul
Nick has taken so many souls, he can spare at least one and still be a monster
His neck
Robbie Lawler: Turning into Thanos.
Nick Diaz: I can do this all day!

So many sheeeeep

“Hey Robbie here’s a pretty interesting question which will get the fans buzzing and boost your numbers”-Interviewer
“Yeah I don’t know anything about that but I wish them all the best and we’ll see ya never know”-Robbie Lawler
Lmfao this is painfully accurate. I can appreciate it though
His highlight reel is for the ages. Will live forever. One of the greats and true O.G of the fight game
Hopefully for Diaz he is taking this fight serious and hasn’t just been hanging around clubs and bars the last for years because he has a beast named Robbie ahead of him
Pretty sure he trains everyday
Honestly do you think anyone would step into a ring with Robbie without preparing that's a death sentence.
I want a nick Diaz interview about the fight
He just gives one word answers and awkward silence 🤣
Top comment 4 sur
@@MustObeyTheRules I want that in my life rn
@@grantt4437 me too 😁🤞
@@MustObeyTheRules what? Nick Diaz does the complete opposite. Completely takes over the interview and it comes a hour long rant about everything but what the interview wants to talk about.
This dude is so tense , just listening to him tells u he is true fighter
This is a rare thing Thanks for the interview Robbie
I love that he’s trying to be better as a father and husband. That’s very commendable and it’s a lot easier to give up the things you like for the ones you love
He's always kept it real. No hype, No nonsense, private life is private, and respect flows both ways. Much love and congrats on the big fight, you outta most of the senior roster deserve it.
I'm glad Nick took this fight, Robbie deserves a money fight...!
All the PPV buys will be from Lawler Diaz 2!
I wouldnt say all but definitely most
Imma be watching on some guy’s glasses reflection on CZcams
@@valmirgashi6235 😂😂😂😂😂👅
Val’s simps will account for some of the buys
@Mark Wright 100% right
Forever a fan of this man. Thank you for over a decade of fights and may you both walk out of that cage, stronger than you went in. 🥊🏆☯️
Love lawler, most chill guy ever but will fight to the death in a cage
Imagine Nick Diaz knocking him out in the second round with a lead right hook.
that would be so wild
I would be hype, who do you’ll think will win? I got Diaz by decision
How many rounds Is the fight

Same with Nick I love both of these guys the younger generation need to put more respect on these legends
Thank you both, legends, to put this fight up again!!! 💪🏼 the true winner is us, can!
We must all appreciate this man for always giving us the most exciting fights, good man.
I've probably said this dozens of times but I'll say it again: what a classy gent Robbie is!!!
Can't wait for this fight been waiting to see Nick back in the octagon for a while let's go team Diaz
2 living legends that have absolutely nothing to prove. I'm so excited for this fight
"Do you feel like you're closer to the end than the beginning?" Mate. He's 39.
Stoked for this fight
Pumped for this fight
wow what a nice honest genuine guy Robbie Lawler !
How do you not like this guy! I was a die hard fan then and still am. Never thought this would happen again!
Definitely a huge Lawler fan. But about the only people he could fight who I would root for first is the Diaz bros.
What if Robbie came back like he did Before and becomes champ again 😂 that would be awesome
lol that would be the best come back ever
Looool impossible
I was just thinking that. He could beat 2 or 3 guys and be in line for the title just because of those 3 fight of the year awards
Robbie and Nick are 2 of the coolest dudes to fight mma ever. We know they gonna put on a show and I hope they both walk away healthy and looking good. I'd love to see them both make a big comeback.
Why does his face look glued on
I hope the Robbie that fought Rory shows up, and I hope the Nick that beat BJ Penn shows up and it's a war!
Robbie was on something in that Rory fight. Many smart people in the MMA community say this
Somebody might die
@@Windbend3r I hope he shows up on something and I hope nick smokes 10 blunts shows up blown out of his mind
@@Windbend3r like who lol
@@Windbend3r who?
Thank you Robbie and Nick. Im looking more forward to this fight then any fight I have watched in last 10years.
Never get to hear from Robbie anymore, love him great guy
I have a feeling Robbie can take the W just because he's been much more active.
Nick has been non stop training and competing in triathlons and marathons.
I'm a big Lawler fan but actively taking fights where you are inactive is not a good look. Robbie is long past his prime and he is having trouble pulling the trigger.
@Dingle Berry ooh interesting
@@jonathanvilla7280 how do you and all these other fans know he's been training Non-Stop? Has he been releasing training footage every 6 months that I have missed for the last six years???
@@davidphillips1845 if you knew them you'd know they never stop training. They always make weight. Plus have you seen Nick lately? That's not someone that's been smoking weed and eating Cheetos this whole time.
Rob is always a class act, great fighter, great ambassador to the sport, great family man, great all-around dude.
God bless him and his always 🙏
Robbie Lawler Living Legend!!!
Honestly, I'm shittin my self excited for this fight. I hope they both pop out shredded up looking/moving good.
I don’t know who’s going to win, but if Nick loses this fight we already know he’s going to complain that he was cheated. Lol The best Diaz conspiracy was when he said GSP had drugged him before the fight. 😂
Can he beat Jake Paul tho?
@Yyoung Trees picking guys that are over the hill and aren't even boxers lmao
So you think Nick Diaz is a liar.... What makes you think he's a liar...? Do you know something we don't..?
Or do you just have a feeling he's lying...? Do you also think Fighters and trainers have so much integrity that they would NEVER do anything like that....LOL
Why was it someone from GSP's camp that gave Nick his IV...? That doesn't strike you a little weird..?
People like to talk sh!t about situations that they have no actual knowledge of....
Haha! Yes. I also love when he accused Takanori Gomi of hitting him with a hadouken in Pride.
GSP has admitted to cheating in multiple ways behind the scenes. Just like when GSP paid a male prostitute to sexually assault BJ Penn on his walk out to the octagon. Which GSP is on camera admitting, the incident is on video, and the person GSP paid has talked about it before as well.
Gassed for this fight.
Really Excited For This Fight🤟🏾
Keep on fighting man! GL!
Robbie doesn't really have much fight left in him. But I hope this rematch sparks something in him and maybe we get a classic performance out of him one last time.
How does mark have a job… I could replace him today
Persistence.
Lawler Mcdonald 2 forever changed the way I looked at combat sports. In a world full of people so passive they don't even have the courage to stand up for themselves being trounced at work, watching those two men unleash their inherent warrior spirit that night was something ill never forget. Robbie, just know you're an inspiration to millions of people out there just like me!
OG still fighting! Big respect!
Robbie’s looking oooold
The people's main event!!!!
Thank God it's littlebig man Marc !
Can't wait for this fight, hope it goes 5. I'll be on the edge of my seat every second.
Both deserve to win. Respect
It’s incredible how Robbie and Chris Leben have the same exact voice
Robby looks much older suddenly 🙄
He has a filter on lol
@@garickjones3339 An old man filter

He’s a new fan for sure

Lawler looking very Tito-y In the thumbnail.
Since that loss, Robbie has gone to win titles in different Mma promotions. Then he made that ufc run and got the biggest title there is. These guys are legends and come to fight. He’s definitely a more well rounded fighter this time around, best of luck to these two awesome fighters.
Got to love Robbie and Nick both legend's of the fight game nuf respect.💯💯💣
Robbie's skin looks like it just recovered from smallpox. That or his phone is trash.
Idk anything about smallpox but I don't see Robbie being the type of guy to go and urgently upgrade his phone, like i'm sure he doesn't have a iphone 10/X or w.e they are
Hope this is a war and not Robbie just smashing Diaz's face in
Hopefully you are wrong
Robbie hasn't thrown a punch in his last few fights
Nick isn’t going to get steamrolled It’s 5 rounds. Nick should stop him mid to late.
@@nickmildon6348 he has thrown punches. Just hard to do when you're fighting contenders who are fast paced and grapplers/wrestlers
Don't worry your pretty little self over it, Nick will do just fine holding his own! 👊💥
Love Robbie, love Nick, people are awesome
Im rooting for both dude. Hopefully its a good fight and they both win at the end.
Lol how awkward,
ESPN guy: “Robbie! …I know one of your favorite days is today…NFL kickoff”
Robbie: “noooooo I haven’t watched football for like 4 years….”
This is what to expect from ESPN MMMA interviews… the simplest, most obvious questions. Like obviously Nick Diaz is a fight that was worth him to start training for a fight again…otherwise why is the fight happening. Come on dude, did you not prepare at all for this?
Why does he look like a PS2 graphics character
Because of his crappy Internet lol.
Robbie is awesome ...what a great guy
Robbie Lawler in 8-bit mode. This match up with Diaz is truly a blast from the past.
I love Robbie insane fighter and has never had an easy fight.
Robbie Lawler is a true fighter, people are quick to judge him on his losses, but guys like him and Cerrone are iconic because they were only beaten by other icons of the sport and continued to beat the new, young guys as they matured
Whoever wins. I'll cheer for both. True warriors. Both should be in the hall of fame.
Robbie got this! Respect to both Legends though! 🏆🤙🏼 💯
stoked for this fight
Robbie's a genuine guy..! No need for any fake hype or drama...
BIG fan of both guys,,, lets go 🔥 👊!!!
I've been waiting for Robbie to fight again, love watching this guy! I was way more excited for Robbie when this fight got announced then Nick...
Marc raimundi is the one journalist who is actually cool with Robbie lawler. Great interview. Marc the 🐐
I can’t wait for this fight. Counting down the days man… the real main event! The OG BMF match
