Lawler looked pumped up, screaming at the crowd before the start of Round 5. Moments later he landed a hard straight left to the already damaged nose of MacDonald. MacDonald grabbed at his nose as he stumbled backward and fell to the canvas, turtling up while Lawler threw punches and forced the stoppage at the 1:00 mark of Round 5 of an incredible fight.

Lawler entered the night on a three-fight winning streak after losing his first bid at the welterweight title. After rattling off wins against Jake Ellenberger and Matt Brown, Lawler avenged his UFC 171 loss to Johny Hendricks, taking a split decision to win the title at UFC 181.

MacDonald was on his own three-fight winning streak, dating back to a UFC 167 split decision loss in his first meeting with Lawler.

Judo DoJo

Judo (meaning "gentle way") is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata,) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka.
