Is The New UFC Champion Tyron Woodley Already
Ducking The Next Top Welterweight Contenders?
Article By: Christian Larusson
Saturday’s UFC 201 event
was filled with gruesome fin-
ishes and exciting fights, all
the way up to the main event
where we saw a new champi-
on being crowned, after Tyron
Woodley landed his thunder-
ous right hand that started the
sequence that ultimately took
out ‘Ruthless’ Robbie Lawler
in the first round, and thereby
ending Lawler’s title reign that
started Nov 16, 2013.
In Tyron’s post-fight win inter-
view with the #1 welterweight
contender and UFConFOX
panelist, Stephen ‘Wonder-
boy’ Thompson, Woodley was
asked;
”That was a first round fin-
ish, and I know you are not
injured, what are the chances
that we get it on in November
,my friend?”
Woodley quickly gave his two
cents on what he thought
about ‘Wonderboy’s’ ask.
”Well, this is what I think, you
know I think you initially want-
ed to fight Robbie Lawler, and
you get the opportunity to
fight Robbie Lawler, because
who I want to fight now is, I
think Nick Diaz comes off sus-
pension in two days, he is a
money-fight, I’ve been in this
game, I’m a OG, I’ve been here
