After Woodley injury, multiple UFC welterweight contenders call out Robbie Lawler on Twitter

There will not be a shortage of opponents for Robbie Lawler after Tyron Woodley had to be forced out of their bout at UFC on ESPN 3 due to a hand injury.

Just moments after the news, three welterweights looking for a win over the former champion already took to Twitter and made their cases to get a crack at Lawler before the announces an official replacement: Darren Till, Leon Edwards and Elizeu Zaleski.

Currently on a two-fight losing streak, but sitting at the sixth spot in the UFC’s welterweight rankings, Darren Till (17-2-1) was stopped by both Jorge Masvidal and Tyron Woodley in his last couple of bouts, with his most recent win being an unanimous decision victory over Stephen Thompson back in May 2018.
