I love Robbie Lawler. Dude is a warrior, legend...but I think Ben is going to maul him here.

Earlier this month, it was reported by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that multi-promotion MMA champion Ben Askren would be making his UFC debut against Robbie Lawler at UFC 233.

The UFC confirmed the news via Twitter on Wednesday, releasing an official poster for the highly anticipated welterweight matchup.

Dana is betting hard Robbie keeps it standing and KO's Ben. I am inclined to agree..........

Too bad James Vick is on that card, it's definitely one I'd order if TLI wasn't involved.

Kron, Dillasnake, Ben...
bummer.

Great first matchup for Ben. Robbie is a monster, but seems like he aged a bit in his last couple. I really like both guys. I’m gonna vote for Askren.

Depends what Lawler shows up. If its the one who laxes a round, that could be trouble. Good first fight or Askren
