'Filthy' Tom Lawlor released from UFC

[jason73]

"Filthy" Tom Lawlor's ten-year tenure in UFC ended today when he was released from the company, less than two months before his two-year drug test failure suspension expired.

Lawlor, 35, who wrestles independently, most notably with Major League Wrestling where he's one of their signature stars, was planning on returning to UFC when his suspension ended on October 10. Lawlor also does a regular weekly show, "Filthy Four Daily" with Bryan Alvarez on this site.

Lawlor failed a test for low levels of Ostarine on October 10, 2016, and had no explanation of how it got in his system. He went so far as to test an enhanced coffee that he had been given by someone, but that failed to be the answer.

Kind of sucky that they didn't release him when he asked and now they did.

 

[Robbie Hart]

Good guy, all the best to him

Never forget who let the dogs out

they had to punish him for 2 years first

 

[Mad Dog]

He's one of the good guys in MMA. I wish him nothing but the best. I bet Scott Coker would love to speak with him. The UFC releasing him probably did him a favor in that respect.

 

[jason73]

he could be a good addition to rizins lhw division. they love crazy characters over there

 

[silentsinger]

I like Tom. A lot.
San Jose Bellator please!

I really thought his career with the UFC was done ages ago.

 

[Wild]

Greatest walk-outs in MMA. Hopefully Bellator picks him up and he can get his individuality back.

He might be a nice person, but the fact of the matter is that he failed a drug test.

So no, he is not one of the "good guys" in the sport.

I meant until today, fucktwat.

Honestly thought he was already out of the UFC. Would rather see him in Rizin than Bellator.

It would be nice to see them capture more of the international feel that PRIDE did. Rizin feels more like Sengoku...

I agree and think that's why it hasn't caught on as much.

Remember whenDave Kaplan made Tom punch him out on TUF?

Always like Tom. Hope the best for “Filthy.”

Naw not really. Hope the best for him too, maybe one day he can straighten out.

I’m honestly more surprised when an athlete is not on steroids. But Jon’s an idiot for getting caught twice with steroids and three times for drugs overall. I’m sure even you, my swamp dwelling friend, would agree to that.

Read the first few posts of this thread. Talk about double standards, eh?

While I agree that Tom Lawlor has not been in trouble for as much shit as Jon Jones has, they're guilty of pretty much the same thing in this instance - testing positive for an illegal substance and having no explanation as to how it got in their system.

We have gone over this before, you and I. This is the difference between being likable (Tom) and being an unlikable turd (Jones). When you fuck up and people like you they will overlook it and still like you. When you are a turd people are like...

I have talked to many people who have met Jon Jones and they all say he's a great guy

He could be an awesome guy in person but he does not come off like that. OJ looked like the coolest guy in the world until, well...you know...

This and he could run the Japanese pro wrestling route too.... really that’s perfect.

Kind of sucky that they didn't release him when he asked and now they did.

Only waited 2 years or so right?
