That was the perfect ending for Robbie Lawler.

Still knocking people out til the end. A true legend. Thank you 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! 🙏🏾🏆💜

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.
