Injury forces Tyron Woodley out of Robbie Lawler rematch at UFC Minneapolis

Robbie Lawler will have to wait a little longer to look for revenge against Tyron Woodley.

Sources told MMA Fighting a hand injury will force Woodley out of his scheduled main event rematch against Lawler at UFC Minneapolis next month, confirming an initial report by ESPN.

Woodley (19-4-1), who dethroned then champion Lawler (28-13, 1 NC) at UFC 201 in July 2016, is looking to get back into the win column after seeing current champion Kamaru Usman walk away with his belt at UFC 235 in March.
