Lawler KO's Trigg @ ICON

Robbie Lawler lived up the his nickname, "Ruthless," by winning back the ICON Middleweight Title from Frank Trigg via brutal highlight KO. The quality in this GIF may not be great, but the devastation was. Trigg was helped out of the ring by his corner crew, and had to be taken to the hospital for exhaustion as well as to check out his concussion.

The fight was actually a close affair, which ended in the 4th round of their Hawaiian title fight. Both fighters got very tired, and both kept their hands at their sides. The problem was, though Trigg was landing more shots, Lawler landed the big ones that ended the night. Both fighters did not seem to be in the best shape, and clearly gassed in the fight.

Jason "Mayhem" Miller got a TKO victory in his fight, possibly setting up a rematch with now 2-Time ICON champ Lawler, who Jason took the belt from last year.
