A fighter who sold fights by… FIGHTING. No trash talk, no press conference theatrics. A true legend who always fought like it was his last fight on earth and gave us fans more than our money’s worth. Thank you for everything Robbie.
LAWLER has been a favorite of mine for years. no bragging & no bs. he fought every fight like it was a matter of life & death. great man & a great fighter.
I’m 42 years old. I’ve grown up watching this man’s entire career. Absolute legend. Thank you sir for the blood, sacrifices and damage you’ve taken and given. A true warrior!!!!!
Robbie was a TRUE martial artist. A REAL gentleman. Humble. Respectful outside the cage. Never got in ANY trouble. No negative headlines. He let his in cage violence speak for him. A man of few words. Last of the greats. 😢
20 years active. That is an incredible record. Robbie Lawler is a legit badass. Classy the entire time. Big props to Robbie Lawler for an amazing career. Thanks for being one of the pioneers, sir.
Bro I’m being completely honest when I saw robbie take a knee and get emotional I literally had tears in my eye’s, cannot express how happy I am for this legend
An amazing tribute to an amazing fighter. Robbie is the epitome of what a real fight fan wants, all the skills and all the tenacity and viciousness to boot. We will miss you Robbie, they don’t make ‘em like you anymore.
Not many MMA Champions can say they've entertained us during their title reigns like Robbie did. It was a pleasure to see you be Ruthless Robbie. We'll miss ya. 😢
Same here,to stay in the sport that long with the old school guys and type of training to the new blood and newer style of training and competing is a feat in its own.
I'm so glad they gave him a retirement send-off like that... Most people they just address it in press conference. But he deserved every second of that. Seeing someone like him is a gift. Watching him give every inch of his soul into every fight he had. And with such high stakes... I've always been in awe of him.always will be...
Your right he does. But that’s not why, most fighters DONT win their last fight. So it’s kinda odd doing that during another fighters celebration lol but that goes to show how great Robbie is. Absolute legend.
Robbie Lawler’s last fight couldn’t have been any more perfect. Walking out to the best ost ever (The Last or the Mohicans), getting the flawless first round finish, the tribute and respect from the fans, Buffer, Rogan, everyone and to finally see one of the most stoic, hardcore warriors finally crack some emotion after 21 years in the game. I remember watching early UFC way back when and seeing a young Robbie put in work. I’m the same age as my dad and his friends when they introduced me to him and the sport back then. You’ll be missed man, the last of a dying breed.
He always walks out to that. And it would have been better if it wasn’t on the prelims but Dana is protecting his new cash cow Bo the same way he is with Sean
Diaz vs Lawler 1 is still one of the greatest to see when it happened. Lawler has always been an OG putting it all on the line. Nothing but respect for the man.
@@tonyg5132 - protecting Bo ? what a casual statement. look at the records he is facing you nutcase. they are mostly undefeated opponents ... now look at khabibs first 10-15 fights.. but I guess you won't say shit about his padded record.. SMH
No controversies, no jackassery, no dramas.. just pure fights and he always delivers. Thanks for the jawdropping (literally) memories. You are one of the Goats. Happy retirement!
Legendary carrer Legendary retirement Legendary person This is the first retirement from a legend that truly hurt me, seeing robbie in tears is really hard, what an incredible fighter
Let me just say this is how you do it UFC. This is how you show love to someone who literally put their blood, sweat and tears into this sport to go out with a hell of a knockout and honor them with their highlights and not just feed them to someone trying to make their name off a legend. Robbie Lawler, thank you sir for all the memories
He’s a fighter that never cheated the fans! He’s always been my favorite because his fights are action packed! Thank you for some amazing memories! Take a bow you’ve earned it! Story book ending! 🏆🥂🍾
@@minormarley5195you’re not a real MMA fan clearly, Robbie is one the best fighters ever. His legacy will live on forever, while bums like you achieve nothing meaningful in life lol
That dude had me out of my seat cheering more times than I can count. He embodies what being an incredible fighter and human being is all about. Thank you Ruthless, we will always be in your corner. ❤ the fans
That was just perfect. The walkout, the clean early knockout against a legit opponent and in the end that interview including that amazing highlight reel. I love how touched he is by the video. It's so obvious how much this means to him. What an incredible moment in the history of the sport. Thank you for all the memories, Robbie!
Everything a Champion should be. Honour, courage, passion, integrity, sheer will, relentlessness. We should all strive to be a bit like Robbie Lawler. Thanks for the memories, Robbie!
I never thought that I’d turn into a puddle sitting there watching an MMA fight. Robbie has always been very stoic, but when you see a person break through their persona like that, it does something to you. There are certain people, people you’ve never met, who just have a way of touching your life in ways people you see all the time can’t. What a career, what a finale, what an absolute warrior. God bless him, thanks for the memories Robbie! 🙏🏾🏆💜
I grew up watching Robbie fight ....im a father now watching the fight with my dad was so nostalgic for us..now with my son three generation watching this man fight...thank ufc...memories these fights ive shared with my dad are priceless
Actually choked up on this man. In my eyes, Robbie Lawler has matured in the best way throughout his career. The man grew and grew and grew. Was still a force all the way until the end. Good things to Robbie Lawler. Bless that man for an awesome career and ALWAYS entertaining the fans. Putting his blood on the line. Good shit man....good shit.
Such a special moment. From his final walkout, to his KO, and to the tribute they compiled for him. He will forever be a legend of the game. Happy retirement Ruthless!
Funny as fuck seeing him sentimentally crying being described as a savage and someone who will take your head off, while a video of him pummeling knocked out opponents is played.
As a casual fight fan, I didn't deserve this man, im just glad I never took him for granted. Thank you for everything Mr. Lawler, you have forever inspired me to work harder.
That montage nearly brought a tear to my eye, Robbie Lawler has every oz of respect I could have for someone, a true legend of the sport we all love! This was such a ride off into the sunset with one more ruthless KO, hope we still see him active in the community even if he isn’t actively fighting.
No matter your record Robbie you will always be my favourite fighter. You are a modern day gladiator and I was honoured to witness your career. Congratulations and God bless you in retirement. You deserve to let your body rest now. You’re a legend!!!
Robbie Lawlor is one of the staple icons of MMA, for me. It has been not an iota shy of an absolute honour and privilege watching the otherworldly marvel that is you, sir. Thank you so much for giving us more than we could ever truly repay you for. You are, without a shadow of a doubt, an absolute living legend of the very highest calibre. Love live Ruthless’s legacy.
@@Brett_Bond A non casual fan would remember him from the first Diaz fight. ICON, Pride 32, EliteXC and obviously his Strikeforce days. What he did to Melvin Manhoef in a fight where he was getting destroyed was legendary.
Emotional to see one of my childhood heroes retire. But it was a perfect end for a legend. He left his mark on UFC history and will be remembered forever 💙
Lawler v MacDonald was one of the greatest, most insane fights I've ever seen. Both incredible fighters, but to see Lawler dismantle the Red King in that way proves he's easily the greatest welterweights in MMA. A true icon and a living legend.
I got to see this live last night, and man, what an amazing thing to see how much this man is loved. On my way to the arena in my uber my driver told me he had some fighter in his car the night before "he said he's retiring tomorrow"...my head snaps and I look straight at him and I say "Ruthless Robbie Lawler!" He proceeds to tell me how humble and respectful Robbie was during his short ride. This man deserved the fairytale ending. It was an honor watching that go down.
Robbie’s a legend and what a great way to walk off into the sunset. This was textbook Ruthless Robbie Lawler. Thanks for all the entertainment over the years.
Damn...even i was crying! Knowing the tears are coming from all the effort that is being made, all the hours of work and become where you are now... a legend! Wish him luck!
Damn. This was beautiful. I'm so happy for Robbie and honored to have watched his fights over the years. Nothing but class and just a true savage fighter. I really hope enjoys his retirement and doesn't feel the need to come back.
OG of the fight game. One of the first faces of the UFC. This kid was who got me addicted to this sport. You'll never be forgotten Robbie, true legend. 🙏🙏🙏
Man, Robbie Lawler is one of my favorite fighters. Since the first fight I saw of him, what a warrior! He always had a champ spirit. Thanks for everything Robbie Lawler.
Pure class. Always loved Lawler. He's a warrior and a great sport. Tough as nails. Humble as a beggar. Cut from leather! 💪 He'll be missed but never forgotten.
Robbie was the first fighter I was interested in when finally giving UFC a chance.Typed in bloodiest or best fight, something along those lines and watched him fight Rory, and I was just instantly hooked. Dude's a beast. What an absolute legend.
What a sad day for the UFC! What an amazing way to end such a badass career. To return to the UFC, to win the belt, always be a badass, score a brutal KO on his last fight, and always be a fan favorite. There will never be another Robbie Lawler!!!
Yeah, all the greats are getting old & retiring. And us MMA fans have to really give it to all of em bcuz if it wasn't for guys like Robbie Lawler, the UFC wouldn't be what it is today.
@@vodoumyers At the same time while the greats of yesteryear are getting old and are retiring, new MMA greats come along and establish legacies of their own. Alexander Volkanovski is becoming one of the GOATs of this sport in just a few short years. One day he'll be remembered as a legend and be inducted into the Hall of Fame, just like Robbie Lawler.
I saw my first UFC fight in 2013 and it was Robbie Lawler that made me a fan of the sport from that very day. This was a story book end to a fantastic career!!
Instant hall of famer.. a warrior, a savage, a gentleman. Thank you Robbie for being a true icon of this sport for over two decades. Good luck with the rest of your life, you will always have fans ❤
I think universally we all love and are happy for Robbie he has paid his dues and earned this kind of moment all credit to a HOF and UFC LEGEND RUTHLESS ROBBIE LAWLER❤
We hear "legend" thrown around all the time. But Robbie is TRULY a legend and a pioneer of MMA. It's amazing that he has been in the UFC since 2002, and had an unexpected resurgence 12 years later to become champ.
Legend.... warrior. It's so good to see the MMA community in agreement for probably the 1st time ever. We all love and appreciate this man so much. So good to see that
A shining example of sheer fighting excellence. A fighter's fighter, a warrior's warrior, and a true master and Champion of the fight game Plus, a good man and role model for many. Godspeed, Ruthless. Youve earned this
The amount of respect Robbie is getting just shows the type of fighter and man he was throughout the entirety of his legendary career. In another year and time Lawler undoubtedly would have been a Spartan type warrior!
Robbie is one of the few fighters that has had such a legendary career he deserved a legendary send off like this. I will always tear up watching that montage
Yep the tears are running, What a pleasure to have watched his fights over the years. What a legend ❤ And what a way to get out. Enjoy the family brother you deserve the rest ❤
So much respect for this absolute warrior. Have many memories watching you entertain us fans in the octagon over the years! I’m glad you knew when the time was right to call it a day and didn’t let age catch up with you. Farewell to a legend of the UFC!
Thank you so much for giving us the best fights that the Welterweight division has to offer. I still remember watching him making his comeback to the UFC by knocking out Josh Koscheck... I said to myself "oh, shit. Robbie means business!" Fast forward a couple years later, he achieves the UFC gold! It was definitely an honor following his career, and I hope he enjoys his retirement, he deserves it! Truly a legend, and one of my favorite fighters of all time.
Robbie always displayed so much courage. He went toe to toe with so many killers. He took horrible injuries and shed a lot of blood in the Octagon. But he never once seemed frightened or unsure of himself. Robbie stepped in and brought the fight every single time and that is why we love and respect him so much. Enjoy retirement, Ruthless!
God I teared up watching this... What a fantastic ending on an spectacular career! Robbie deserves this so much. A pure sportsman that never fell into this next generation of trash talk, just a humble person that loved to fight and entertain the crowd.
A fighter who sold fights by… FIGHTING. No trash talk, no press conference theatrics. A true legend who always fought like it was his last fight on earth and gave us fans more than our money’s worth. Thank you for everything Robbie.
LAWLER has been a favorite of mine for years. no bragging & no bs. he fought

Absolute legend. The balance of respect and violence is something he and only a few other fighters have had. The humble warrior.
We hear "legend" thrown around all the time. But Robbie is TRULY a legend and a pioneer of MMA. It's amazing that he has been in the UFC since 2002, and had an unexpected resurgence 12 years later to become champ.
I can't believe it... My favorite fighters retiring one by one...
Legend.... warrior.
It's so good to see the MMA community in agreement for probably the 1st time ever.
We all love and appreciate this man so much.
So good to see that
Robbie was a true badass in the UFC. Sad to see him go, but happy I was along for the ride as a fan 👊
*My favorite fighter of all time. Enjoy retirement Robbie. You’re my hero.*
A shining example of sheer fighting excellence. A fighter's fighter, a warrior's warrior, and a true master and Champion of the fight game
Plus, a good man and role model for many. Godspeed, Ruthless. Youve earned this
I cried more than him watching this…thanks for the memories Robbie, happy retirement 😢🤛🏽
Thank you for your performances over the years! A true legend
The only time I’ve seen this man cry…watching a highlight reel of himself destroying people 😂😂😂 love this man!
So sick they did the highlight for him. Absolute legend of the sport, thank you for everything Robbie 🔥
The amount of respect Robbie is getting just shows the type of fighter and man he was throughout the entirety of his legendary career. In another year and time Lawler undoubtedly would have been a Spartan type warrior!
Robbie is one of the few fighters that has had such a legendary career he deserved a legendary send off like this. I will always tear up watching that montage
Respect respect respect to Ruthless Robbie Lawler. Got tears in my eyes...... what a warrior. 20 years. Thank you.
Hands down one of my all time favorites. An absolute warrior, champion and a class act. 👏
Yep the tears are running,
What a pleasure to have watched his fights over the years.
What a legend ❤
And what a way to get out.
Enjoy the family brother you deserve the rest ❤
Was a fan of him from his first ufc fight way back 21 years ago. I had much respect for him, a true legend 🙌👏
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ROBBIE ❤️👏
The man's a beast,hats off to Robbie. A legend.
So much respect for this absolute warrior. Have many memories watching you entertain us fans in the octagon over the years! I’m glad you knew when the time was right to call it a day and didn’t let age catch up with you. Farewell to a legend of the UFC!
To Robbie Lawler you will be MISSD but NEVER FORGOTTEN !!!!! God bless You and your Family !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really beautiful. Much respect
Thank you so much for giving us the best fights that the Welterweight division has to offer. I still remember watching him making his comeback to the UFC by knocking out Josh Koscheck... I said to myself "oh, shit. Robbie means business!" Fast forward a couple years later, he achieves the UFC gold! It was definitely an honor following his career, and I hope he enjoys his retirement, he deserves it! Truly a legend, and one of my favorite fighters of all time.
Robbie always displayed so much courage. He went toe to toe with so many killers. He took horrible injuries and shed a lot of blood in the Octagon. But he never once seemed frightened or unsure of himself. Robbie stepped in and brought the fight every single time and that is why we love and respect him so much. Enjoy retirement, Ruthless!
Now that.....was beautiful. What a fucking LEGEND. I teared up along with him, jesus.
God I teared up watching this... What a fantastic ending on an spectacular career! Robbie deserves this so much. A pure sportsman that never fell into this next generation of trash talk, just a humble person that loved to fight and entertain the crowd.
