Tom Lawlor Tweets

Thomas Lawlor (born in 1982 in Fall River, Massachusetts) is a American professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He was a cast member of SpikeTV's The Ultimate Fighter: Team Nogueira vs. Team Mir.

Tom Lawlor defeated Ryan Lopez with a rear naked choke in the first round. Lawlor was given a shot to be the next Ultimate Fighter. Tom Lawlor was in the first fight against Ryan Bader but lost by KO. Lawlor ordered a fruit platter to eat everyday. However, when he would get home from the training center he often finds it already eaten by Team Nogueira.

Lawlor wanted to get back at them, so he and several members of Team Mir urinated in Lawlor's own fruit platter and places it in the refrigerator. Dave Kaplan then gets drunk and claims that he cannot be knocked out. He asks Lawlor to to hit him. Lawlor at first declines to do so. At Kaplan's insistence, Lawlor punches Kaplan in the jaw and Kaplan falls to the floor unconscious. Kaplan claims he was not knocked out.

Tom Lawlor won his UFC debut against former The Ultimate Fighter: Team Nogueira vs. Team Mir cast mate Kyle Kingsbury. They fought on the preliminary card at the UFC: The Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale. Tom was shown with a new look, a long brown beard.

After the fight with Kingsbury, Lawlor dropped down in weight and now fights as a middleweight. Lawlor and the UFC have talked about a return in March of 2009.
