Robert Glen Lawler, known as “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler is an American mixed martial artist who competes as a Middleweight. Lawler is the last EliteXC Middleweight champion. He is a member of Team Hughes fighting out of H.I.T. Squad, a Granite City, Illinois gym, which he co-owns with teammate and former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes. With EliteXC going under, Strikeforce acquired their assets, including Lawler’s contract, so currently he competes under the Strikeforce banner.
Lawler has previously fought in the UFC, KOTC, Icon Sport (where he is a two-time Middleweight Champion), and PRIDE, competing against opponents such as Chris Lytle, Nick Diaz, Evan Tanner, Jason Miller, Joey Villasenor, Frank Trigg, Murilo Rua, Scott Smith, & Jake Shields.
