EA Sports UFC 2: 10 Highest Rated Pound-For-Pound Fighters

7. Robbie Lawler (93)

Robbie Lawler is the definition of knockout artist. In spite of his questionable ground ability, the American is an outstanding boxer-puncher, having trained with the world-renowned Miletich Fighting Systems from the age of 18. That very boxing ability shone through in his early MMA career, with his first four fights ending via KO or TKO due to his accuracy, power and volume of his punches. Since winning the UFC Welterweight championship in December 2014 by avenging a loss to Johny Hendricks, Lawler has gone on to make two successful defences. The American has an MMA record of 27-10, and is currently on a five-fight winning streak. Lawler's all-action style is certainly great value for money, with four of his nine UFC bouts being voted Fight of the Night when they took place - including his most recent bout with Carlos Condit. Both men were credited with one knockdown, with Lawler taking a close decision win.
