Robbie Lawler was caught a tad off guard when he found out he would be fighting on the preliminary card of a UFC event for the first time in 20 years. Lawler (29-15 MMA, 14-9 UFC), a former UFC welterweight champion and one of the most exciting competitors in the history of the sport, is set to fight Bryan Barberena (17-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) on the undercard of UFC 276 , which takes place July 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card for the event will air on pay-per-view, following prelims that were just announced to air on both ABC and ESPN – and early prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
