With the biggest fight of his life staring him right in the face, Bobby Voelker told the UFC’s matchmakers to hang tight. He’d get back to them. But it wasn’t a matter of Voelker (24-9 MMA, 0-1 UFC) not being interested in acting as a late-notice opponent for Robbie Lawler (20-9 MMA, 5-3 UFC) this Saturday. Not at all. Instead, the welterweight just wanted to make sure his team was in on the plan and make sure he was doing what was best for his career
