He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Truth be told, he didn’t figure all that many people would care. After he announced his retirement on Twitter following the split-decision loss, he was surprised at how many people seemed to think it was newsworthy. “With all the influx of fans, these days when you lose a fight you’ve got people on Twitter telling you that you suck, saying, ‘I’m happy you got your ass kicked,’ and they’re pretty brutal sometimes,” Riley told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Lawler (21-9 MMA, 6-3 UFC) on Saturday knocked out Bobby Voelker (24-10 MMA, 0-2 UFC) with a vicious head kick early in the second round at UFC on FOX 8 at KeyArena Seattle. It was just his second fight since returning to welterweight after a long run at middleweight. But those two fights – the latter of which came on live national TV on FOX – have been impressive enough to already have folks talking about where he fits in in the welterweight title picture. Sure, at 5-5 in his past 10 – 3-5 in Strikeforce, including a 185-pound title fight loss to Ronaldo Souza in 2011 – few are saying he should be next in line.
