of the tougher matchups for me out of all the possibilities. Till would have been a cakewalk. Lawler would take some doing. He had solid wrestling, he could get back up when down, and he could hit like a truck. Or at least, he could hit like a truck earlier in his career. I agreed to the fight, because ultimately it didn’t matter to me. The fight was scheduled for UFC 235 on March 2, 2019, in Las Vegas.
