Lawler had lost to RDA 50-45 and got submitted by Ben askren. Woodley had lost 10 rounds straight and got 10-8’d multiple times.
Don’t believe what his wife says. He should be fighting middleweight.
That info didn’t come from his wife, 298 was one of the few times the commission released fight day weights.

They weighed him in california when he fought geoff neal. He was 180
Well I guess we're now finally admitting that Lawler losing to Askren was just a plain submission win with no controversy. Sherdog is just great when depending on who we're trying to discredit, the exact same fight can either be bullshit/ref blunder if we're trying to discredit Askren, or evidence that Robbie was a washed up can who was never my friend if we're trying to discredit Colby beating him.
Not to but in here but surely we’re not arguing that beating Robbie in 2019 was a good win?
Now post his next fight, dumbass
Which of Garry's opponents are you pretending was top 10? You think Neil Magny was? Is that who you're saying is Garry's best win?
He thinks Colby beating Lawler was a good win but Garry beating Magny is not a good win, despite the fact that Lawler was dominated by Magny after the Colby fight. Lol.
So now Geoff Neal is his best win, and not Magny? What happened to your retarded "win streak" standard? Apparently we're also abandoning the "late replacement" standard as well, since Magny took the fight on a 10 day notice.
Crazy how people get riled up about people they see on TV
By the standard that Neil Magny in 2023 on 10 days' notice is an incredible win, then yes. In reality, Lawler was a great fighter on the back stretch of his career and was lower top 10 at the time, who Colby only fought to secure his title shot after getting bizarrely strippled of an interim title for having minor nasal surgery, and Magny in 2023 on 10 days' notice was also pretty much a walkover just to keep Garry on the card, and also not an expecially impressive win.
Lawler shouldn’t have let his arm go limp when grabbed if he wanted to keep going, and getting submitted by bulldog choke against a guy who had been retired for over a year just recently at that point is a bad look, plus he immediately lost to Magny in his next fight after colby
Well it didn't happen when we were in school but just last year(20 years later) he actually went to work for his son who had a job as a landscaper but kept missing and was going to be fired if he didn't come in so the dude I knew went for him. His son was 20 I believe and he was 40, so I guess he was stomping a branch and his boots weren't tied and the chipper snagged his laces and pulled him in feet first.
It happened last year, I didn't know him much just went to school with him 20 years ago. He's dead, died in the scene but live for sever hours before he died. Terrible way to go.
