Dana White: Robbie Lawler to fight at UFC 201 or UFC 202, likely against Tyron Woodley

UFC president Dana White was in attendance at RFA 37 on Friday night filming "Dana White: Lookin' For A Fight" and during the broadcast, he told AXS TV commentators Pat Miletich and Michael Schiavello that UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler's next fight will be made official soon.

White said that Ruthless will likely fight top contender Tyron Woodley at UFC 201 or UFC 202. Neither pay-per-view card has an exact date at this time, but they're targeted for August and September, respectively.

Lawler most recently defended his belt for the second time against former interim titleholder Carlos Condit by decision at UFC 195 in a Fight of the Year contender.
