Tyron Woodley believes he is the rightful No. 1 contender to UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.
Recently, Stephen Thompson declared himself for that role, citing his believe that he is a “more exciting” fighter than Woodley.
The former NCAA wrestling standout took exception, offering up what he described as “Reminder Monday” on Twitter recently:

Woodley (15-3) has won two in a row and four of his last five, losing only to former title contender Rory MacDonald since 2013. He picked up a split decision over Kelvin Gastelum last year, losing his shot at Johny Hendricks – who Thompson finished in the first round – when the former UFC champion suffered issues cutting weight.
