Despite possibly being overlooked, UFC 201 went down this past evening (July 30, 2016) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Atlanta, Georgia, and the event produced an exciting night of fights. The main event featured a welterweight title fight between defending champion Robbie Lawler and challenger Tyron Woodley, and yet another upset prevailed.
Woodley came out firing and landed a brutal shot early on, flooring Lawler and finishing off with a flurry of strikes. Check out how Twitter reacted below:
