Welterviktsmästaren Robbie Lawler kommer härnäst att ta sig an utmanaren Tyron Woodley, då de möts under UFC 201 den 30 juli. Det är en matchning som Rory MacDonald tycker är helt fel, då han anser att Demian Maia borde fått chansen.
Detta hade Rory att säga via ”MMAJunkie”:
I thought they were going to give it to Demian Maia. I was a bit surprised that Woodley got it. But the champ needs to stay busy, wants to fight, and Woodley was patiently waiting. He was ready. It’s how it plays out.
Sometimes it’s not always the rightful guy gets the shot. You look at boxing, they have like tune-up fights in between their title fights. They’re not always fighting the No. 1 guy year around. It’s a little different in our sport. Everyone thinks it always has to be the next guy, because it’s the next top guy.
Woodley’s a good challenge. I’m not saying it’s not going to be a good fight, I just would have expected Demian to be the next guy because of his success.
Härnäst ser vi MacDonald ta sig an Stephen Thompson, då de möts under ”UFC: Fight Night 89” den 18 juni.
