On Tuesday, the main event for the UFC 201 pay-per-view was announced.
Headlining the UFC 201 pay-per-view show in July will be UFC Welterweight Champion Robbie Lawler (26-10), as he puts his 170-pound title on the line against number three ranked UFC Welterweight contender Tyron Woodley (15-3).
The Lawler-Woodley title bout had long been rumored, but was officially announced this week.
UFC 201 is scheduled for July 30, 2016 at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
It appears that welterweight champion Robbie Lawler will be headed for a title tilt with top contender Tyron Woodley in the main event of July 30’s UFC 201 pay-per-view (PPV) as was previously rumored.

It appears that welterweight champion Robbie Lawler will be headed for a title tilt with top contender Tyron Woodley in the main event of July 30’s UFC 201 pay-per-view (PPV) as was previously rumored.
Updating a prior statement from UFC President Dana White that said Lawler would ‘probably’ defend his title against Woodley at either UFC 201 or 202, who has been out of action since a closely-contested decision win over Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 183 in January 2015, word came on Wednesday’s (May 4, 2016) edition of UFC Tonight that “Ruthless” will potentially headline 201.
Fan favorite slugger Lawler has won five straight bouts in the UFC, including back-to-back “Fight of the Year” candidates against Rory MacDonald and Carlos Condit at UFC 189 and UFC 195, respectively, improving his record to an impressive 8-1 since he returned to the promotion in early 2013. Before moving down to welterweight, Lawler had lost five out of eight bouts fighting some of the top middleweight talent on the planet in Strikeforce.
Woodley, meanwhile, was supposed to face former champion and Lawler rival Johny Hendricks in the co-main event of UFC 192, but “Bigg Rigg” was forced out of the bout the day of weigh-ins due to complications with his highly-publicized and drastic weight cut. “The Chosen One” has won four out of his last five UFC matches, with the one defeat in that span an extremely lopsided decision loss to MacDonald at UFC 174.
White promised Woodley a title shot for the strange circumstances, and it looks like he’ll deliver on that promise if “Ruthess” vs. “The Chosen One” does indeed became UFC 201’s headliner.

After a somewhat controversial decision victory over Carlos Condit in a back and forth war for the ages at last January’s UFC 195, the future was unclear for reigning welterweight champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler.

After a somewhat controversial decision victory over Carlos Condit in a back and forth war for the ages at last January’s UFC 195, the future was unclear for reigning welterweight champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler.
The 170 pound weight class is currently booming with contenders, making the Lawler’s next challenge a tough decision to make for the UFC.
An instant rematch with Condit seemed to be a strong possibility, as well as a bout with the rising Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, who recently dismantled former champion Johny Hendricks.
Veteran Demian Maia has been on a roll as of late, and Tyron Woodley has been waiting for a title shot for what seems like forever now.
And of course, there’s always the possibility of a potential return to action for former long-time divisional kingpin Georges St. Pierre.
After months of speculation, however, it appears as if the promotion is closing in on a decision, as UFC President Dana White recently spoke on Lawler’s future (Via MMAFighting):
“He’s terrorizing me for UFC 200 like every fighter is right now,” White said, “but Robbie is going to fight at either 201 or 202.”
“I don’t know who yet,” White said of Lawler’s opponent, “but more than likely going to be [Tyron] Woodley.”
Woodley, a man undoubtedly deserving of a title shot, is currently ranked No. 3 in the divisional rankings. “The Chosen One” has won four out of his last five bouts, and is coming off of back to back victories over Dong Hyun Kim and Kelvin Gastelum.
Woodley was supposed to face off with Hendricks last October, but “Bigg Rigg” was forced out of the fight on weigh in day.
Prior to his clash with Condit, Lawler had picked up four wins in a row, including a title defense over Rory MacDonald in one of the best fights of 2015.
Who would you pick to come out on top in a potential fight between Lawler and Woodley?

UFC president Dana White sat front-and-center for a thrilling night of finishes Friday at Resurrection Fighting Alliance 37.
White appeared on the program, which aired live on AXS TV, and commented on when we might see Robbie Lawler – who was also in attendance – back in action to defend his welterweight title and who might challenge him.
“It’s more than likely going to be (Tyron) Woodley,” White said, adding that UFC 201 or 202 would be the event for the fight.
Lawler (27-10) has scored back-to-back title defenes vs. Carlos Condit and Rory MacDonald since winning the belt over Johny Hendricks in 2014. He is on a five-fight win streak overall.
Woodley (15-3) is 4-1 over his last five, with the lone defeat coming to MacDonald. He has not fought since January 2015, though, as a planned title-eliminator with Hendricks was scrapped after the former champion missed weight.
Tyron Woodley believes he is the rightful No. 1 contender to UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.

Recently, Stephen Thompson declared himself for that role, citing his believe that he is a “more exciting” fighter than Woodley.
The former NCAA wrestling standout took exception, offering up what he described as “Reminder Monday” on Twitter recently:

Woodley (15-3) has won two in a row and four of his last five, losing only to former title contender Rory MacDonald since 2013. He picked up a split decision over Kelvin Gastelum last year, losing his shot at Johny Hendricks – who Thompson finished in the first round – when the former UFC champion suffered issues cutting weight.
Skyrocketing UFC welterweight Stephen Thompson shocked possibly the UFC’s most talented division when he knocked out former champion Johny Hendricks in the first round of UFC Fight Night 82 last night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Skyrocketing UFC welterweight Stephen Thompson shocked possibly the UFC’s most talented division when he knocked out former champion Johny Hendricks in the first round of UFC Fight Night 82 last night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Coming into the fight at No. 8, Thompson exhibited world-class striking range that simply had “Bigg Rigg” neutralized in the Octagon after an early first round takedown attempt. The much shorter Hendricks ever got his once-vaunted power punching going, and instead ate a monstrously precise straight left that opened up the floodgates for one of Thompson’s trademark spinning kicks, after which a flurry of punches caused a surprisingly quick stoppage to the fight.
‘Wonderboy’ called out for a title shot versus Robbie Lawler following his biggest MMA win, and after he handled the former champ with such ease, and it might be tough to deny him at this point. However, there are a slew of top contenders like Rory MacDonald, Tyron Woodley, and Carlos Condit ranked ahead of him, and all of them would certainly make for exciting match-ups that could decide the next title challenger. He could also face the winner of May’s Demian Maia vs. Matt Brown, bout which would be a rematch of his only UFC loss if Brown were to win.
No matter what direction the UFC takes with their flashy star in the making, the future is bright for ‘Wonderboy’ and his next fight will be a pivotal one. Whom do you think he should meet in the Octagon?
