Could Robbie Lawler Beat A. Silva?

id rather see lawler vs baroni...

No.

The only fight that serves justice to the beast known as Anderson Silva are
fights against Matt Lindland, Dan Henderson and Paulao Filho. Those are
the only people that deserve to fight him, and have a decent chance of
not wasting the fans money who pay to watch Anderson maul some under
skilled adversary. Anderson is cream of the crop, and should only be
fighting the cream of the crop, not a guy who lost to Jason Miller last year.

good question, id give it to Silva, he is way more well rounded, but Robbie has hands of steel and a heart of a champion so u never know

All lawler has to do is hit you, and he wins.

It'd be an exciting match-up if they ever did a "champion vs. champion" thing like they did with Pride FC.

"id rather see lawler vs baroni..."

Everybody wants to see this fight! :)

Seamus very good call with Baroni, it would be a stand up give me your best shot type of fight

Interesting matchup.

I would favor Silva though.

Only in a dream.

Obviously anyone can lose on any given day, but Anderson has an enormous advantage in such a match. I'd say "obviously" but it appears that many feel it's not.

i think after hughes finally retires that we'll see robbie make a return to the ufc at 170.

"I think it goes down pretty similar to the Leban fight."

To be honest, I'd pay to see Lawler vs. Leben. I think that's a great match-up. I don't dislike Robbie enough to see him vs. Silva.

I think Robbie is on another level than Baroni/Leben now.

Exactly. If you guys think otherwise, you're kidding yourselves.

No. Watch Lawler vs Pete Spratt. A. Silva would pick him apart worst than Spratt did.

"No. Watch Lawler vs Pete Spratt. A. Silva would pick him apart worst than Spratt did."

Everybody has a bad fight every once in a while.

Lawler has gone on to beat better fighters than Spratt.

"No. Watch Lawler vs Pete Spratt. A. Silva would pick him apart worst than Spratt did. "

How many years ago was that?

Robbie is a completely different fighter now.

Anderson by straight punches, superior head movement and we have not even mentioned the clinch yet.
I also believe Anderson is the more powerful puncher.

See Lawler/Spratt.
