Robbie Lawler v Tyron Woodley.
The UFC 201 main event has been announced and it will be a welterweight title fight in Atlanta, Georgia on July 30.
Robbie Lawler, on a five-fight winning streak, will put his belt on the line against former All-American wrestler Tyron Woodley in a five-round classic at the Philips Arena.

Despite Lawler ripping through the promotion of late – winning eight of his last nine fights and starring in some of the greatest events of our time – the match-up hasn’t enthused everyone.
The inclusion of world number three Tyron Woodley hasn’t impressed a lot of fight fans with plenty calling for Stephen Wonderboy Thompson instead, while the UFC’s flirtation with hosting a superfight with Georges St-Pierre appears to have been nothing more than a tease for now.

Woodley doesn't deserve a title fight. Why doesn't Maia get this fight?
