UFC 201 emanated from Atlanta with a welterweight title tilt atop the card.
And new! That was what UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer had to announce after a blistering right hand KO from Tyron Woodley. The Missouri native put reigning champion Robbie Lawler out and ushered in yet another new era for the UFC in 2016.
In the co-main event, Karolina Kowalkiewicz out-worked Rose Namajunas to split decision. The victory sets her up for a meeting with fellow Polish striker, and current champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
