DAVE “PEE WEE’’ HERMAN STOPS KERRY “MEAT TRUCK’’ SCHALL IN SHOXC MAIN EVENT

Promising, unbeaten heavyweight Dave “Pee Wee’’ Herman of Bloomington, Ind., improved to 12-0 with a 1:06, first-round TKO over Kerry “Meat Truck’’ Schall (21-11) of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the main event Friday on ShoXC: Elite Challenger Series.

Schall got Herman’s attention with a huge overhand right hand approximately a half-minute in. But the shot only seemed to invigorate and anger Herman, who retaliated with a vengeance. He connected with a series of knees that dropped Schall and then finished off the veteran, who complained afterward about a low blow, with three punches while he was down and defenseless.

“I may have got hit, but I didn’t feel it,’’ said Herman, who improved to 3-0 for EliteXC and 2-0 on SHOWTIME. “I don’t care who I fight next but I hope it is as soon as possible. Actually, I would like to fight on the EliteXC Nov. 8 card on SHOWTIME.’’

"RUTHLESS" ROBBIE LAWLER: THE KING OF CBS PRIMETIME

Story by Todd Hester


A terror in the cage who has dominated opponents in EC, IFC, UFC, Superbrawl, Icon, and now EliteXC, the 16-4 Robbie Lawler is the true king of MMA primetime TV!

In just two fights, both against Scott Smith, more people have seen Robbie Lawler fight than nearly any other fighter on the planet. If you take the 7 million viewers from their first fight on CBS and combine it with the 2 million from their second, over 9 million people now know the man simply called “Ruthless.”

But Lawler has not run up his record against “tomato cans” or handpicked opponents, he has taken on the toughest fighters in the sport, not ducking anyone but seeking out the best to prove he is the best. In an MMA world increasingly given to flash instead of form, Lawler is a throwback to the early days of the sport where you fought whoever, whenever, wherever.

Q: What is your family background?

LAWLER: My parents were divorced and my dad was in the Marines. I lived in California until I was 10 then we moved to Bettendorf, Iowa when I was in the fourth grade. I had an older brother so it made it a little easier to adjust to things. I lived in Iowa for pretty much the rest of my life, but I just moved to St. Louis and opened up a gym and MMA training center. A lot of military kids make a lot of moves but I only made the one, so it wasn’t really an issue for me.

Q: Did being around the Marine Corp give you a fighter’s mindset?
