Johny Hendricks vs. Tyron Woodley set for UFC 192

Welterweights Johny Hendricks and Tyron Woodley are all good to go, as their fight got added to an already action-packed card for UFC 192 at the Toyota Center in Houston. UFC Tonight’s Ariel Helwani reported the news on Wednesday evening, as did ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.

Lawler instead defended against Rory MacDonald at UFC 189 over the summer, and appears to be targeted for a title defense against Carlos Condit at UFC 193 in November. Lawler previously lost a decision to Hendricks in their initial meeting at UFC 171 but rebounded with back-to-back victories of Jake Ellenberger and Matt Brown, thus earning his rematch with ‘Big Rig.’ He will enter this bout with 21 career stoppage wins, including 20 career knockouts.

Robbie Lawler will look to defend his UFC welterweight title against Carlos Condit in November in Australia. Hendricks had defeated Lawler for the vacant UFC welterweight title at UFC 171. Woodley has won four of his last five fights, but may have his hands full against the 31-year-old Hendricks.

Condit is a former Interim Welterweight champion and is coming off of a win against Thiago Alves in May. If he retains his title then, chances are he may be facing the victor of Hendricks-Woodley, with a matchup against Hendricks being infinitely more interesting.
