DAMN! They Were Good celebrates the careers of the most exciting and influential fighters in MMA history. On this episode, the MMA Fighting crew looks back on the legendary career of Robbie Lawler, the most exciting fighter ever to step into a cage.

Lawler began his MMA career in 2001 and for the next 22 years, "Ruthless" made it his mission to provide as much entertainment as humanly possible for anyone watching. On top of his numerous other accolades, most notably holding the UFC welterweight title from 2014 to 2016, Lawler is the only person in history to win Fight of the Year three times (consecutively, no less). On top of that, two of those bouts - his fights with Carlos Condit and Rory MacDonald - are widely viewed as the two greatest bouts in MMA history. That would be more than enough for any fighter but Lawler added one final cherry to the top of his peerless resume, authoring the best retirement in UFC history with his 38-second knockout of Niko Price in his final bout at UFC 290.

There is no single fighter that better speaks to what DAMN is all about, and so in honor of his recent retirement and induction into the UFC Hall of Fame, MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew, Shaheen Al-Shatti, and Steven Marrocco look back on the career of the most exciting fighter to ever live.
