The third times the charm!
The UFC had originally billed welterweight Rory MacDonald as the #1 contender but another wildly close fight between Johny Hendricks and NEW welterweight champion Robbie Lawler has forced them to rethink their position.
“Robbie and Rory just fought,” White said. “We just feel like the trilogy makes sense – to do the third fight with these two.”
I’d put money on the 3rd instalment of this fight looking more like the first rendition. Hendricks isn’t going to be happy leaving a decision in the judges hands. He’ll want the finish and Lawler will be there to brawl with him.
