10 MMA Fighters Poised To Make It Big In 2015

By Jay Anderson /

8. Robbie Lawler

Another case where you have a current champion "poised to make it big." If that seems weird, consider that Robbie Lawler has been around years, lost his first crack at the welterweight title in March 2014 to Johnny Hendricks, rematched, won the title via split decision in December - and will be fighting Hendricks a third time this year. Should he beat Hendricks outright, there will be no question that Lawler has arrived. It's no easy task, but Ruthless has looked better than ever this past year, and 2015 could belong to him.
