Stephen R. Sylvanie / USA TODAY
Former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler has pulled out of his fight at UFC 205 against Donald Cerrone, according to TMZ Sports.
Though it's unclear why Lawler is withdrawing from the Nov. 12 event, the UFC is reportedly looking for another opponent to pit against Cerrone.
The 34-year-old Lawler last appeared in a fight on July 20 at UFC 201, losing his welterweight championship belt to Tyron Woodley in a first-round knockout. Cerrone meanwhile is a perfect 3-0 since moving up a weight class to 170 pounds, last beating Rick Story at UFC 202.
