Robbie Lawler vs Rafael Dos Anjos
Robbie Lawler (-110) is your definition of an exciting fighter. The southpaw goes nicely with his angles and feet incredibly well thanks to his wealth of experience in the Octagon. These skills allow him to punish his competition with his power combinations or crafty counter-strikes. You have to wonder whether he is able to sustain this fashion after years of wear and tear.
“Ruthless” is essentially a sprawl-and-brawler. He’s got solid defensive wrestling that is backed up by his willingness to punish opponents who shoot for his or her legs. Only rarely will you see him shoot for a takedown himself but he’s capable of doing this.
Rafael dos Anjos (-120) is mainly a pressure fighter that excels at dictating the pace of the struggle. Dos Anjos typically works behind a consistent pumping jab and some brutal leg kicks. His footwork helps him cut off the crate and suffocate his opponent. Once his opponent is backed onto the cage, then RDA possibly blitzes with heavy palms or grinds out a takedown.
