Robbie Lawler has pulled out of his big fight against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at UFC 205 in NYC … TMZ Sports has learned.
Unclear why Lawler backed out of the Nov. 12th fight at Madison Square Garden — we’re working on it.
We’re told Cowboy will still fight and the UFC is currently looking for a new opponent.
34-year-old Lawler last fought at UFC 201 back in July — and lost the UFC welterweight championship belt to Tyron Woodley in a 1st round knockout.
