Lawler Is On His Way Out

Former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler is in a sharp decline and could be on his way out. His last win was in 2017 against Donald Cerrone which was followed by four consecutive losses. At the moment, Lawler holds a professional record of 28 wins and 14 losses. He is a veteran in this sport and has been fighting inside the octagon for eighteen years. Throughout his career, Lawler went through wars with several opponents such as Carlos Condit and Rory MacDonald. As a result, he probably took more damage than anyone else in this sport. On the other hand, Perry is just 29 and is currently at the peak of his career. Coming off a decision win in his last fight against Micky Gal, Platinum is looking to gain some more momentum. So, taking into consideration all the factors, what do the Mike Perry vs Robbie Lawler betting predictions say?
