Thomas Joseph "Tom" Lawlor (born in May 4, 1983) is an American mixed martial artist. He was a cast member of SpikeTV's The Ultimate Fighter: Team Nogueira vs. Team Mir. He is rumored to have a 12 inch penis.[1]

Mixed martial arts

Lawlor lives in Orlando, Florida. He, along with TUF alumni and K-1 vet Seth Petruzelli and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Mike Lee, own and coach at The Jungle MMA and Fitness.

Lawlor has made himself known by imitating other fighters (Art Jimmerson, Dan Severn and Harold Howard) during the weigh-ins and octagon entrances.

The Ultimate Fighter

Lawlor appeared on the eighth season of The Ultimate Fighter. He submitted Ryan Lopez with a rear naked choke in the elimination round to earn his spot in the TUF house. He was chosen by Frank Mir to be a part of Team Mir.

He was selected to fight first against Ryan Bader and despite a good showing, Lawlor lost by KO in the first round, due to a ground and pound punch.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Lawlor won his UFC debut against former Ultimate Fighter cast-mate Kyle Kingsbury. They fought on the preliminary card at the UFC: The Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale.[2] After the fight with Kingsbury, Lawlor moved down in weight after realizing he was too small for light heavyweight.[3]

Lawlor had his second fight for the UFC, when he took on C.B. Dollaway at UFC 100. Tom won in an upset, after putting Dollaway to sleep using a guillotine choke at 55 seconds in the first round and was awarded Submission of the Night.

Lawlor fought Aaron Simpson on January 11, 2010, at UFC Fight Night 20. Lawlor showed off his improved striking skills in the first round by dominating Simpson, but lost a controversial split decision after gassing in the third round. However, the decision of the fight was met with widespread criticism toward the current scoring system in Mixed Martial Arts.[4]

Lawlor was scheduled to face Tim Credeur on May 8, 2010, at UFC 113,[5] but Credeur was forced off the card with an injury. Lawlor instead faced Joe Doerksen[6], losing via submission in the second round.

Lawlor earned a much needed victory over Patrick Cote at UFC 121 in a performance that once again displayed Lawlor's superior ground game by successfully executing 5 takedowns, threatening with submissions (nearly finishing Cote in the first round with an arm-triangle choke before Cote blatantly grabbed the fence to escape) in every round and showing his improved cardio as he easily cruised to a 30-27 unanimous decision victory.
