Countdown To UFC 181: Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler II

HendricksVsLawler

This Saturday night (December 6, 2014), UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks will finally return to the Octagon when he rematches Robbie Lawler in the main event of UFC 181 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Out of action since his thrilling decision win over “Ruthless” at March’s UFC 171, “Bigg Rigg” has been nursing surgery for a torn biceps while Lawler has been dispatching top welterweights with authority.

But the champion won their first matchup largely on the strength of his wrestling, and Hendricks will be fully healthy for the second fight. That adds up to a potentially exciting bout where the champion has much to prove and the challenger has revenge on his mind.
