Fighter on Fighter: Breaking down UFC 201's Robbie Lawler

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight champion, Robbie Lawler, is set to throw down with powerful wrestler, Tyron Woodley, this Saturday (July 30, 2016) at UFC 201 inside Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Lawler’s rise to the top of the 170-pound division has certainly been unexpected, but the savage kickboxer has scraped and crawled for every inch of ground claimed. Though most of his title bouts have been extraordinarily close, Lawler has managed to cling to his belt regardless and remain atop the mountain.

On paper, this seems to be an easier match up for Lawler than his recent foes.
