A biography for Robbie Lawlerhasn’t been written yet.
“I can see that I can be a role model.”
“For me, it's always the same: worrying about how I can get better, the techniques I can do.”
“I always believed in myself, and even in the bad times, when I'd do bits of greatness here and there, it was those kinds of things that kept me alive and helped me to get to where I am now.”
“I only know I feel good when I fight.”
“I was always into martial arts and boxing.”
“Who am I to say anybody can't do what they want to do and create their own destiny if they believe in something?”
“I always thought I could be the best, and that's what I've been doing all these years.”
“Everybody would rather get a quick submission, a quick knockout.”
“I never lost sight of my goals. I never stopped thinking I could reach the top.”
“My coaches have done a good job of tightening my skills, where I can dictate a little bit more where the fight is going.”
“I was a huge Mike Tyson fan, would sit through the night watching boxing matches and would hit the bag at every opportunity I would get.”
“My techniques are basics, but my willingness to be in the pocket and see things is very high level.”
“The best part about being a champion is going out and defending your belt, so that's what I plan on doing and doing it many times.”
“I'm going to fight until my body says otherwise.”
“It's all about being sharp and not taking too much damage. That's always the game plan.”
“Fighting somebody like Manhoef, who can take anyone out at any point in time - that was a big win for me and one of the best finishes. In that fight, it wasn't looking good for me, but I kept believing in myself and was able to land a big shot, which was huge!”
“Sometimes spectacular things look really great, but when push comes to shove come fifth round, the basics, fundamentals and technical aspects are going to come into effect.”
“Coming back to the UFC was huge. I was ready for the spotlight for the first time.”
“I'm a big baseball fan, and I love the Cards.”
“The thing is I always believed in myself. I always believed that I was going to be the best in the world.”
