Fight fans react after UFC legend Robbie Lawler is spotted with BKFC President David Feldman

A parade of fight fans have reacted to an image of Robbie Lawler hanging out with BKFC president David Feldman.

When it comes to fan favorites in mixed martial arts, it’s safe to say that Robbie Lawler is somewhere towards the top of that list. From his longevity to his insanely fun fight style, he’s one of the most electric performers in UFC history.

Last summer, he knocked out Niko Price in what was his final fight in MMA. He rode off into the sunset with fans not knowing if or when he would be back.

Hopefully not fight related. Don't want to see 40+ year olds going into bare knuckle and taking damage late on into legendary careers.

As you can see, there’s something of a mixed bag here. Some fans would love more than nothing else to see Robbie get back into the ring/cage. In equal measure, others are a bit concerned for his health, given all the damage he’s taken over the years. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how this story unfolds.
