Robert Trujillo continues to dominate the Power Slap lightweight division.
The reigning 155-pound champion once again handled business with ease, extending a title reign that is beginning to feel untouchable.
And according to Trujillo, the reason is simple:
“This all just comes natural to me.”
“No One’s Going to Take Me Out of That Spot”
Trujillo believes the biggest difference between himself and the rest of the division is consistency.
While challengers continue experimenting with new techniques and styles, he says he stays grounded in what already works.
“Everyone they keep putting in front of me, I feel like they’re overthinking too many things.”
Meanwhile, he keeps doing the same thing:
showing up and putting opponents down.
“I just keep grounded where I’m at and just keep putting them down.”
Too Dominant for Lightweight?
One of the biggest questions surrounding Trujillo now is whether there is actually anyone left at 155 capable of threatening him.
The champion has spent long stretches inactive between fights, yet every time he returns, the result looks the same:
dominance.
Trujillo admitted he wants to stay active, but also made it clear that if opponents continue getting finished quickly, the money needs to reflect that.
“I’m definitely going to need some more money if they just keep giving me one-hit wonders.”
Could Robert Move Up to 170?
With lightweight challengers running out, discussion has already begun about a potential move to welterweight.
Trujillo acknowledged that possibility during the interview and even suggested he may eventually vacate the lightweight belt entirely.
If that happens, he believes Dakota McGregor could become the next man up at 155.
“I honestly don’t think anyone beats Dakota.”
At the same time, he believes his departure would create chaos in the division.
“It’d probably make the lightweight division a lot more exciting.”
The UFC Fire Is Burning Again
Long before becoming a Power Slap champion, Trujillo originally had aspirations of reaching the UFC.
And according to him, that dream may not be dead.
Recently, he says the motivation to fully commit to MMA training has started returning.
“There’s definitely some fire in me lately.”
Trujillo also pointed out that his lone MMA loss came against an undefeated UFC fighter — and he believes he performed better against him than several current UFC opponents have.
“I definitely think I do have a place there.”
Champion in Everything?
The interview eventually turned comedic as Trujillo listed the many competitions he claims championships in outside of Power Slap.
According to Robert, he is also:
- a cornhole tournament winner,
- a rec league basketball champion,
- highly competitive in bowling,
- and active in flag football tournaments.
At this point, Trujillo may simply be addicted to winning.
Still Untouchable at 155
Whether he stays at lightweight, moves up to welterweight, or eventually returns to MMA, one thing remains clear:
Right now, nobody in Power Slap has figured out Robert Trujillo.
And until someone does, the 155-pound division still belongs entirely to him.
