The knockout snaps Lawler's five-win fight streak. The loss also ends Lawler's 20-month reign as champion.

Woodley's nickname is "the Chosen One"... looks like he finally got a prize worthy of that moniker.

UFC's next pay-per-view will be the much anticipated UFC 202 card featuring the Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor.
