Can someone who knows MMA please explain to me why Lawler is a dog tonight? I have no idea who the other guy is. He also has a weird looking head so I want to bet against him.

Rory has been the prodigal son for a while now. GSP was his mentor, guy has serial killer personality but is huge for the WW Division. He has a long reach and size advantage over Lawler. Last fight, Lawler got inside on Rory, knocked him down and hurt him. Some good GNP from Lawler. Rory usually fights a very technical fight. He utilizes his jab very well. He kept power strikers like Ellenberger and Woodley in line and made them look like they weren't in the fight. He disrupts the other gueys' movement and momentum well. Rory has looked impressive since then. He was the first guy to finish Tarec Saffiedine who is a good striker.

Bottom line is, if you think Lawler can work his way inside Rory's reach again take Lawler.
If you think Rory lives off his jab and has learned how to keep Lawler at bay, take Rory.

Over 3.5 is the play.
