Robbie Lawler is back this weekend at UFC 276.
Ahead of his UFC 276 bout with Bryan Barberena, Robbie talked with MMA Fighting about his most recent fight with Nick Diaz, which he won after a third round TKO. Robbie thanked Nick for getting him excited again and says he’s using the momentum from the Diaz win for his upcoming fight against Barberena.
It was just another fight for me, but he definitely got me excited to fight again, that camp went really well, I was firing on all cylinders. Everyone at Sanford MMA did a great job getting me ready for the fight, so it was nice to go out there and put on a good performance for the fans to see. Obviously he’s a big name and he got me excited. I still lost 17 years ago, so it’s just all about getting better and still competing, trying to get to a high level, and just be excited. I thank him for getting me excited again.

Robbie continues to talk about using his momentum heading into his fight at UFC 276, despite every camp being different.
It’s just using my momentum from my last fight to keep training, doing the right things, and just keeping the momentum going, Bryan comes to fight and to put on great performances. It’s just work — going out there competing, and having fun. Every fight’s different, every training camp is different. My body feels great, I’m excited, and training has gone really well. I just feel good and my training partners have done a great job getting me ready for this fight. It’s just been a carryover of enthusiasm from my last fight. I’m just going to go out there and showcase my skills, showcase what I’m capable of now,” Lawler explained. “I’ve been doing this for a long time and it’s just putting it all together that night. It’s not about the training camp you put in, or the weight cut, or anything else. It’s about, how good can you be? Can you showcase your skills when it matters?
