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. https://twitter.com/ufc/status/732673074273746944 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 has bemused a lot of fight fans with plenty calling for Stephen Wonderboy Thompson instead. https://twitter.com/SamOKC94/status/732673249524473856 https://twitter.com/UnitedKane/status/732674127765614592 https://twitter.com/JustBleedMMA/status/732675884042215428 https://twitter.com/KeaheyNolove/status/732673553921777664 https://twitter.com/ChrisEastes1218/status/732673445687906304 https://twitter.com/alimpwood/status/732675076420567040 https://twitter.com/menjoker/status/732704704816238593 This guy was way off the mark anyway. https://twitter.com/MmaNut1/status/709053943024738305 Didn't even get the right date.
