White: Woodley likely next for Condit, at UFC 201 or 202
UFC president Dana White told AXSTV commentators Pat Miletich and Michael Schiavello that welterweight champion Robbie Lawler’s next challenger will likely be Tyron Woodley, at UFC 201 or UFC 2002
UFC president Dana White was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Friday, ‘Lookin’ For A Fight’ at RFA 37. The fighters looked to impress, and White added some excitement of his own, when he told AXSTV commentators Pat Miletich and Michael Schiavello that UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler’s next challenger will be announced shortly.
White said it will not be at UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas, but will instead be at UFC 201 or UFC 202. Neither date or location has been announced yet. White also said the current front runner was Tyron Woodley.
Lawler most recently defended his belt successfully for a second time, against Carlos Condit, at UFC 195, in one of the best fights of the year. Before that he beat Rory MacDonald in one of the best fights of the ever.
Woodley had only a single fight last year, a split decision win over Kelvin Gastelum. Fight before that he beat Dong Hyun Kim, via strikes.
