UFC 201: Lawler vs. Woodley Prediction and Info Thread

[Rubberduckie]

Ed Herman +160 intrigues me. I really think that line should be closer
to pick.

Woodley also has the ground game to grind out a win vs a fighter out of
his prime and +160 on him may be a must play also.

Haven't decided yet but underdogs are looking like the smart way to go
so far.

[bbc.reporter]

Yes. This might be an upset. I like Lawler but I feel Woodley will win. He will use leg kicks to weaken Lawler's mobility and then he will be easy to punch. We have not seen Woodley fight in a long time so it will be possible that he has changed his style.

Aside from Lawler and Woodley fight what else is an interesting match up in UFC 201?
Honestly, I only know anyone in the fight card aside from Lawler and Woodley that's why I thought this UFC 201 is not worth buying PPV and just wait for the result in Facebook or Twitter.

Robbie Lawler  vs.  Tyron Woodley => bet for  Tyron Woodley
Rose Namajunas  vs.  Karolina Kowalkiewicz => bet for Karolina Kowalkiewicz
Francisco Rivera  vs.  Erik Perez => bet for Erik Perez
Ian McCall  vs.  Justin Scoggins => bet for Ian McCall

Tyron Woodley does not deserve this title shot at this moment.i know why you think woodley will win this match since the UFC is unpredictable and the titles are changing hands quite often,Stephen Thompson was the rightful person to get that title shot.Robbie Lawler will win this match,

Rose namajunas is a good fighter but i like karolina,she is a good fighter and i wish she wins.it will be a really close fight for sure.

the rest of the card,i dont see any other interesting fights

I will go for Woodley as well, but I'm afraid that if the match lasts to long he will just get tired and will start exposing himself and eventually lose.

I think two years ago Woodley was on his way to a title shot via a fight vs Hendricks.  The winner of that match would fight the champ.  Not sure about the accuracy of my statement but the point is Woodley was on his way but Hendricks backed out due to being overweight so Woodley lost an opportunity there.  He waited for over a year for an opportunity for a title fight.  So when you say he's not deserving for this shot at the title, I think he is.

Edit:  Line movement again on Woodley.  Down to +135 now.

I think both fighters Lawler and Woodley have the same chance to win 50 50% on this match. By looking the embedded vlog at youtube, I pick Woodley for this match.

i will explain ,his win over carlos condit,during the match carlos condit's knee buckled and he could not even stand,it all started with a kick i accepted that.in his very next match Rory macdonald beat him and he was supposed to meet hector Lombard,a match up i was looking but was replaced by  Dong Hyun Kim,woodley won that match,then he faced Kelvin Gastelum and Woodley won by split decision and he was supposed to fight Johny Hendricks at UFC 192,  Johny Hendricks pulled out of the fight due to complications due to weight cutting and then he got the title shot,

if you look at Stephen Thompson he was very much deserving a title shot and i believe he will be the future champion..he is unstoppable at the moment,and on a seven fight win streak. this is the reason i said Woodley doesnt deserve ahead of thomson at this moment

Tough one to call. I'll say Robbie Lawler but I wouldn't be too surprised if Tyron Woodley won either.This will be a good fight they both have skills and talented. But Robbie Lawler does not give up inside of the cage he is a monster Woodley is good but I think Robbie is going to whooped his ass in the end.

[btckold24]

 Rose Namajunas (5-2) vs.  Karolina Kowalkiewicz (9-0) (Women's Strawweight)

I see rose winning this one. Dont let the records fool you she will take her down and submit her in my opinion. Karolina doesnt hit hard enough
to stop the take downs

[BicolIsarog]

Well I know Robbie is the best and he's going to show the hole world that when he knocked out Tyron Woodley in the second round
 go Robbie you're the best that ever put on a set of boots. I like Robbie in this fight

[shadobitz]

Robbie Lawler vs Tyron Woodley for this fight I will go with Robbie Lawler, I think Tyron Woodley not deserve to win this match because Robbie Lawler is so much talented and his style is more better, even so many people are sure about Tyron Woodley but personally I have my bet on Robbie Lawler.

He's a heavy hitter, but he's never been drug into deep water like you know how to drag someone in. He'll gas and then it's punch face and lights out. Get him Rob!!!I'm rooting for ya Robbie smash him back down the ladder!

[krach]

I like Lawler to win and the over 2.5 rounds.
I will also take Kowalkiewicz over Namajunas

I do not what is going on lately but the underdogs have been winning. Will Lawler be another victim of this? I am predicting yes. Woodley will be very explosive and take advantage of Lawler's slow start.

It could happen easy. I just watched the prelims where they previewed the fight and woodley throws mean punches. I think woodley is going to have to finish
it fast though. If lawler gets it past round 2/3 then lawler will win.  So I'm playing woodley and under but lawler and over isnt a bad play either cause both are
big odds.

Those are some good odds for a sure thing.
That is easy money if you put a fair amount on Lawler to win.
I might put 100 mbtc on him to win and double my bitcoin back. He looks much more polished than Woodley does.

[Rubberduckie]

Ryan Benoit is a punk with his fighting after the bell.

They need to do something about him. He did it even worse to Pettis
when he kept going even after the ref was yelling to stop.

Serrano got a bunch of slam take downs but benoit was better on his feet.

Benoit deserved to win but he's a jerk and was rooting against him.

[ralle14]

I have to go with lawler on this one(only risking small amounts) because he won 5 of his last matches but it might go either way both of them look like a beast we might see one hell of a fight tonight.
