When Tyron Woodley stepped into the Octagon Saturday night in the main event of UFC 201<\/a> to fight Robbie Lawler, welterweight #1 contender Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson was paying close attention. Thompson, who was on the FS1 broadcasting team for the evening, knew he would likely be fighting the winner of the scrap.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Tyron Woodley knocked out Lawler in just minutes<\/a> to win the welterweight championship. Despite that, during the FS1 post-fight show, he shut down Stephen Thompson’s chances of a title shot, opting to call out Nick Diaz instead.<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, Thompson appeared on The MMA Hour<\/a> to discuss Lawler’s fight with Woodley, saying:<\/p>\n

“That’s something you can’t do against Tyron Woodley, is back up. Because if you give him that forward momentum he’s gonna land a shot or he’s gonna end up taking you down.”<\/p>\n

“I was literally expecting to see Robbie Lawler go out there and just overwhelm Tyron, the Robbie that we’ve seen in the past. But as soon as they got out there, I realized for some reason this is not the same Robbie that we normally see.”<\/p>\n

“I think it was just a really good punch. I think Robbie is the exact same fighter as we’ve had, I just didn’t see it that night. Maybe it just wasn’t his night. But I think it was the fact that Tyron has some power in his hands, in that right hand.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
