Lawler returns to the Octagon for the first time since earning a split decision victory over Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC 195 for his second successful title defence.

Woodley hasn't fought since January of 2015 when he defeated Kevin Gastelum at UFC 183, his second consecutive victory following a first round, TKO triumph over Dong Hyun Kim in August.

The event will be held at Phillips Arena in Atlanta Georgia on July 30th.
