I've got 1.5u on Lawler. I'm banking on Babalu getting knocked out or at least outboxed for three rounds.
I don't see Lawler getting subbed.
Lol. I totally see Lawlor getting subbed. I don't see Babalu getting knocked out. His last knockout loss was to Mousasi, but he was getting completely tooled on the ground. Lawlor can't do the same.

We shall see. I wouldn't be surprised, considering the curse which seems to follow me around when it comes to betting on non-UFC events. But for my sake, I hope you're wrong.
Babalu has the perfect style to beat him. He has takedowns and he has submissions. 3 of Lawlor's 4 losses have come by submission, and Babalu is maybe the best grappler he has ever faced, Shields and Trigg have takedowns as good or better though... But Babalu is also the largest fighter Lawlor has ever fought. Shields and Trigg should really be at 170, and have been for much of thier careers. Babalu has never fought less than 205, and has been at HW some. Him coming in at 195 could solve his gas tank issues.
I have a small bet on Lawlor. I see the battle coming down to Renato's takedowns vs. Lawlor's takedown defense, with a question mark on Sobral's stamina for good measure. I think the most likely outcome is that Lawlor wins by sprawl-and-brawl.
