Robbie Lawler vs Tyron Woodley main event set for UFC 201 on July 30 in Atlanta

Finally!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Robbie Lawler will return to the Octagon to defend his title against top 170-pound contender Tyron Woodley in the UFC 201 pay-per-view (PPV) headliner on July 30, 2016 at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

UFC Tonight brought word of the pending showdown on Wednesday.

Lawler (27-10, 1 NC) hasn't been seen since a controversial split decision win over Carlos Condit at UFC 195 back in January, his second straight title defense since capturing the crown from Johny Hendricks in late 2014. Woodley (15-3), meanwhile, earned his spot in line with consecutive wins over Dong Hyun Kim and Kelvin Gastelum.

Plus he had a little help from "Bigg Rigg."

No other bouts have been announced for UFC 201 at this time; however, you can expect that to change in the coming weeks. For more upcoming mixed martial arts (MMA) events, head over to our schedule page here.
