Robbie Lawler’s Body Wanted Another Fight, Despite Five Rounds with Johny Hendricks

Most guys usually take some downtime after a fight, and especially after the type of hard-fought five-rounder that Robbie Lawler and Johny Hendricks had at UFC 171.

Not Lawler, however. When he got back in the gym for a little bit of recovery training, Lawler’s body was telling him that five rounds wasn’t enough. It wanted more.

Now Lawler finds himself making a quick turn to fight another tough opponent in Jake Ellenberger at UFC 173.

Check out Lawler’s exclusive interview with MMAWeekly.com, as he talks about the quick turnaround, his move to American Top Team, and the fight with Johny Hendricks.
