Tom Lawlor signals retirement, leaves gloves in center of cage after 2021 PFL 5 win

BAD MMA News — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 02:29:55 +0000

One of the most unique personalities in the sport, Tom Lawlor , has apparently decided to call it a career. Lawlor (11-8) left his gloves in the center of the cage at 2021 PFL 5 on Thursday, signaling retirement after a unanimous decision victory over Jordan Young. The win halted a three-fight losing skid and marked his first victory since 2015, when he defeated Gian Villante by second-round knockout at UFC on FOX 16. When Lawlor, 38, removed his gloves, his playoff hopes in the 2021 PFL season were still alive, depending on results throughout the remaining of the evening. His decision win earned three points in the PFL standings, which was good for the fourth and final playoff spot at the time

2021 PFL 2 video: Antonio Carlos Junior submits Tom Lawlor in first

Tom Lawlor looked like he might give Antonio Carlos Junior some fits early in their Thursday fight. Then Junior (11-5) turned the table on Lawlor (10-8) and submitted him with 17 seconds left in the first round of their light heavyweight bout at 2021 PFL 2. Lawlor was able to work for a guillotine choke from his back in the first round, and it appeared to be tight – but not tight enough to have the Brazilian in too much trouble. After Junior got his head out, he was able to pass to full mount. In mount, Junior worked for an arm-triangle choke, and when that wasn’t there, he jumped for a guillotine choke while nearly letting Lawlor back to his feet

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Light heavyweight prospect Deron Winn (5-0) kept his professional record perfect with a comprehensive decision win over veteran Tom Lawlor (10-7), who was returning to action after more than two years on the sidelines. Winn stalked from the opening bell, moving forward and looking to set up his powerful right hand. For his part, Lawlor kept his hands high and circled on the outside. Winn did land a right hand early, and a surprising high kick flew over Lawlor’s head shortly after
