VIDEO: Countdown to UFC 181: Johny Hendricks (Otoe-Missouria Tribe) vs. Robbie Lawler II

Written by 5thRound.com Staff

Now that Thanksgiving weekend is officially (and unfortunately) behind us, it’s back to work. The good news is the rematch between UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks (Otoe-Missouri Tribe) and Robbie Lawler is now only five days away.

Hendricks captured the vacant title by taking a unanimous decision victory over Lawler in March. “Bigg Rigg” has been riding the pine ever since with a bum shoulder.

Lawler has posted two impressive wins since their initial encounter to earn another shootout with Hendricks.

UFC 181′s hoopla train officially left the station with Sunday’s “Countdown” documentary. Take a look below and let’s start thinking about Saturday’s scrap!

Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada serves as host.
