Back in 2016, Tyron Woodley challenged Robbie Lawler for the latter's UFC Welterweight Championship. Woodley and Lawler did battle at UFC 201, and when it was all said and done, we witnessed the former coming out on top.

Woodley started off his fight against Lawler extremely cautious, adding a lot of feints and footwork over the course of their brief bout. Additionally, Woodley also managed to get Lawler to the fence and threatened the takedown, only for them to resume their striking battle.

It was then that Woodley's feints and explosive footwork proved to be the difference, as he caught Lawler with a perfect straight right on the chin, taking down the latter like a sack of potatoes. Woodley wasted no time in following up with ground strikes and ended up wrecking Lawler with a barrage of well-placed right hands on the head.

Just like that Woodley captured the UFC Welterweight Title with a masterful first-round KO of legendary KO artist Robbie Lawler.
