UFC 290: 10 reasons to watch
2. Robbie Lawler's final trip to the Octagon
A fighter's retirement is often celebrated because of all that they have achieved over the course of their career. Robbie Lawler has a professional career spanning over 22 years and has fought at various promotions around the world. Lawler competed at the likes of Pride FC, Elite XC, and Strikeforce. Eventually, Lawler found his way to the UFC and has been a legend in the making since then. Lawler's last few fights have not gone his way but 'Ruthless' has always been defined by all that he achieved and how he helped in shaping the UFC. At UFC 290, Lawler has his final fight before hanging up the gloves for good and it will be quite the treat for longtime MMA fans.
1. A well-balanced card of experience and youth
The UFC 290 card is a special one. Two titles on the line, a title eliminator, a legend's final fight, and a showcase of rising stars. From the prelim card to the main card, this card has its fill of up-and-coming stars as well as legends. Some of the match-ups even have a blend within me, as can be seen with the experienced veteran, Robbie Lawler, taking on the fast-rising welterweight contender, Niko Price. This UFC 290 card is the perfect balance of experience and youth, which should definitely make for an exciting event.
