Woodley, 36, recently lost his title to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235. “”The Chosen One” isn’t wasting any time getting back in the Octagon as he will meet the man he first took the title from back in July of 2016.

As for the 37-year-old Lawler, he is also coming off of a loss at the same PPV earlier this month. Although “Ruthless” lost a rather controversial fight to Ben Askren, he physically never looked better.
