I've torn my acl 3 times and had to walk it off every time (situation,location,etc). Football players walk it off all the time, so I wouldn't put much faith in his reaction.

Either way, he will come back with the resources at his disposal

I pulling for Hendricks. Noting against Lawler at all, I'm a fan of his too, but Hendricks' attitude, class and unreal power is a great combo.

Going for Hendricks. Never liked Lawler. First impression of him was a meathead bar brawler who just tried to get the haymaker win in every fight.

I usually don't root. I just like to observe MMA at its highest form. If I had to pick, I guess from a storyline perspective, I wouldn't mind Hendricks being humbled a little bit, and Lawler completing his rise back to the top. Especially considering Hendricks stands a chance at getting back to this point plenty of times in his career.
cant argue against this at all.

I like Johny bc he's a country boy. I like Robbie's storyline, plus he lives right next to me. Hopefully it's a solid scrap

Good to know. I have seen guys tear their ACL's multiple times in person and attempt to walk, only to have that entire leg give out on them and them fall over. They might have torn other ligaments as well, though. IDK.

Lawler is well prepared for Hendricks' patented forward moving right jab/left hook.

If I was going to argue an advantage for Lawler in this, it would have been his kicks, but Hendricks had more success with kicks in 1st Round.

Great fricking round. I wonder what the record for number of punches thrown in a fight is. Whatever it is, this fight is RAPIDLY approaching it.

Very impressive first 2 Rounds by Hendricks. Never seen him use leg kicks and knees, as well as patience like he has in this fight.

Lawler has to let that jab go more that he connected with in the 1st Round, and move on his feet more instead of just randomly moving and bobbing around in the pocket.

Lawler pullling the rope-a-dope. Hendricks better keep those hands up.

The head kick when they are in the pocket and Hendricks is leaning that right shoulder in is there for Lawler.
