matt or anyone really...

I hate to sound like a girl at a bar but this has always bothered me, why do they let them fight with beards? In boxing that wouldn't be allowed. That can cushion a blow to the chin a lot...

You're asking the wrong dude. I have a beard down to my chest. lol

All jokes aside, it doesn't cushion a blow. A head gear only cushions a blow minimally. Amateurs use headgear to reduce cuts from headbutts and cuts in general. There's really no stopping the rattlin of the brain from a direct jaw shot.

What about vs jab? There is a reason they don't allow any of that in boxing.

If I were hendricks or big country's opponent no way I'd let that fly. At the very least I'd make him shave it to F with him.

It's really good to see Lawler here... I'm rooting for Hendricks, because of money and fandom, but it's great to see Robbie Lawler here after such a long time.

What about long hair?

Funny, Daniel Straus had to cut his dreads off to make weight last night.

The guy has improved in every fight. He definitely deserves to be here.

Oh, and yeah, dudes with tons of facial hair is bullshit imo. Anthony Davis should fight, would never have a cut Above the eye!

I dunno about hair, that is fine.

Look at a beard like big countrys though, that basically is head gear. In boxing you have to shave it, it definitely miffs me it is allowed....

Lawler has a hell of a chin and walks through everything. he is starting to feel that he is the tougher man.

With all the split decisions I saw tonight, I think one may have been warranted there. Lawler looked to just gas and lock up with less than 2 minutes to go. Think he did the most damage overall though.

Lawler has nothing to be ashamed of at all. that was a very valid performance.
