Check out what he had to say.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe first fight [between Lawler and McDonald] was close. It was closer than I remember, because every time I looked up I hear the crowd yelling and I was like &#8216;oh man&#8217;. At first I was like &#8216;oh man, Robbie Lawler really took it to Rory MacDonald&#8217;, and then I re-watched it. I thought it was a lot closer than before. I still think Lawler won, but I think it was a lot closer than I even gave credit to him. Because you know, I\u2019m in the back warming up &#8211; but this fight I think Rory MacDonald.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;He\u2019s got great coaches, he\u2019s going to figure out a way. They\u2019re game-planners. They\u2019re guys that are going to do this, this, and this, and they\u2019re going to make sure that everything runs to a &#8216;T&#8217;, and so this one I\u2019m actually sort of excited to see, because Robbie Lawler. you can never count him out of a fight, because no matter what you do he seems like he\u2019s always in it. So this is a fight that\u2019s going to be, can Robbie Lawler walk him down and land that punch? Or can Rory MacDonald keep him at bay, keep him at distance and get the win?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>By: <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/author\/ryan-miller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ryan C.
