Robbie Lawyer will be taking on Donald Cerrone on July 8th, come UFC 213 in the famous T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Robbie Lawler is not just a revered and able fighter but one who is even feared. He has shown that he is not only capable of beating his opponents, but beating them pretty hard and pretty badly.

Lawler is renowned for his devastating blows and merciless strategies. However, this does not seem to phase Donald Cerrone who is willing to try his luck.
In his own right, Donald Cerrone himself can put an opponent to sleep pretty effectively. They don’t call Donald Cerrone “The Cowboy” for no reason. He is packing some serious fire power and can really pack a punch. He is known for his finishing skills and they certainly are going to be tested against Lawler.
