Robbie Lawler suffered his third straight loss in the headliner of today’s UFC Newark event against Colby Covington.<\/p>\n
The former UFC welterweight kingpin, Lawler, was dominated by Covington in all five rounds, resulting in a lopsided unanimous decision setback<\/a>.<\/p>\n After putting together an impressive five-fight win streak, in which he captured the promotions coveted welterweight title, Robbie Lawler has since gone 1-4 over his past five Octagon<\/a> appearances.<\/p>\n During that stretch, Lawler has suffered defeats to Tyron Woodley, Rafael dos Anjos, Ben Askren and now Colby Covington.<\/p>\n Lawler’s lone win in that time came against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, who he defeated via unanimous decision at UFC 214.<\/p>\n Following today’s one-sided loss to ‘Chaos’, Robbie Lawler spoke to reporters backstage in Newark.<\/p>\n As seen in the photo below courtesy of Mike Bohn, ‘Ruthless’ is already wearing the beating he absorbed from Covington earlier this afternoon.<\/p>\n Robbie Lawler came to speak to the media backstage and was definitely wearing that fight. He was nothing but class. Gave all respect to Colby Covington. #UFCNewark<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/jeY92DQZcM<\/a><\/p>\n — Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA) August 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
