I don't mind his boring fights, everyone has them.

My biggest complaint about him is that he comes off as a dick. Like when he wouldn't let that fan hold his belt for a picture because "I earned it, they didn't."

It was also weird how long it took him to let go of the GSP fight. Even after the first Lawler fight, when he had the actual belt, he was still going on about it.

The second Lawler fight was mostly good with like 5 minutes of ball nuzzling.

I guess "fighter was boring for part of a fight, was always boring" is now added to "fighter lost, was always bad".

"I'm thirty," I said. "I'm five years too old to lie to myself and call it honor."
How are people defending Hendricks Lawler 2? It was Robbie being awesome for maybe 5 minutes total, followed by Hendricks practicing his best jock strap imitation for like 20 minutes.

The best part of the fight was the decision announcement (which was pretty spectacular, especially watching it live at a bar).

the pierce fight ruled primarily based on the fact that johny was gifted the decision and later lost his poo poo when he lost to GSP, when he's been on the other end of bad decisions himself

hendricks out kickboxed robbie for 10 minutes before he gassed, he didn't just lay on him

So if I'd watched it with the aid of a time machine, it would have been good.

If only it had been a ten minute fight, then maybe it wouldn't have averaged out to a really boring fight.

when lawler almost finished hendricks in the first fight it was so good. he holds onto one side of johny's face with his off hand and just blasts the other side right on the chin so powerfully, i can't believe hendricks survived it and somehow won

Between all the memorable events in that fight series, Lawler's championship ascension is basically the new "legend of Fedor" in terms of MMA mythology. Except it's really objectively great and a joy to watch unfold.

I don't really have a problem with this, some guys probably look at that belt as the Stanley Cup where you don't pick that thing up over your head unless you've earned it. Heck, a beer company ran an entire commercial campaign where a guy 'stole' the Cup and ran around showing it off -- and at no point did that thing get higher than his chest when he was holding it horizontal despite how awkward it looked.

Not touching it unless you earned it is the same kind of thing only to a further extreme.

We live in a world where champs have refused to sign children's replica belts because they didn't earn them, and wore their belts while they tricked some poor innocent woman into having sexual relations with their disgusting, smelly bodies. Hendricks is not even mid-grade weird about his belt rules.
