Speaking to TMZ Sports, Robbie Lawler was asked about his fighting future as many of his fellow fighters have started to announce their retirement. To which he replied by saying that he has no plans for retirement yet and at UFC 266 win or lose he won’t even think of leaving the sport.

“Nah, it’s not possible. I’ve been doing this a long time, my body feels good. It’s just waiting for good fights that get me excited, and this is one of those fights. Nick Diaz is a big name and this is going to be a big event,” Lawler said.

Lawler was asked this question after recently his fellow division fighter and former opponent Carlos Condit announced his retirement. Robbie made it clear that he has no such plans ahead instead, he has no idea when he will retire as he hasn’t even thought of that yet. Rather he said that he will continue fighting as long as he feels good.

“I have no idea (when I will retire). As long as my body feels good and I’m still loving what I’m doing and I can still get in there and train with these guys and hold my own, and I’m enjoying what I’m doing. If all those things are clicking, then I’m going to be doing it. But you never know, things change fast. But I feel good. My body feels good, my mind’s good, so I’m going to keep going,” Lawler said.
