ATLANTA -- Lets face it, Robbie Lawler is not a brilliant fight promoter.The defending UFC welterweight champion does not produce many headlines, and he tends to say little about his opponents. Hes focused on himself, you know? Hes getting better in the gym every day. Hes not worried about the other guy. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.The best way to promote a Lawler fight is to show a Lawler fight. Thats his selling point -- entertaining, action-packed fights; the kind that might even intimidate future opponents. You want to take Lawlers title? Better be prepared for the worst 25 minutes of your life.Tyron Woodley, who will take on Lawler for the 170-pound title on Saturday at UFC 201 at Philips Arena, says hes up to the challenge.Robbie will bleed and smile and always keep coming, but you have to be intimidated by him to break from that, Woodley said. Thats actually his main attribute. But hes not the boogeyman to me. Im sorry. You put him at the foot of my bed, Im gonna open my eyes, take one look at him, and fall my ass right back to sleep.Its worth noting Woodley (15-3) has a long history with Lawler, which might help him humanize the champ more than others.Much of the pre-fight attention has been dedicated to whether or not the two are real teammates. They both represent American Top Team out of South Florida, although Woodley stopped holding his full-time camp there more than a year ago.Their relationship actually goes back well before Lawler joined ATT in 2013. It even goes back before Woodleys professional debut in 2009.Robbie was a guest referee for my last two amateur fights, Woodley said. I actually trained occasionally at his gym in Granite City, Illinois, which was 15 minutes from my house in St. Louis. We never sparred because Robbie wasnt doing much sparring at the time, but we wrestled a few times.I have video right now on a hard drive, me as an amateur fighter sitting in his gym saying, One day, Im going to be a UFC champion. Who the hell would have thought Id be fighting against the person whose gym I was in to make that happen? Those are things that I think make this a little more special.The two shared a gym again when Lawler joined ATT, but Woodley ultimately left to open a satellite gym in St. Louis. A former collegiate wrestler at the University of Missouri, Woodley also trains out of Roufusport in Milwaukee, alongside his former college teammate Ben Askren.Since Woodley was the one who relocated, he will, technically, be staring across the cage at a team that once coached him. The 34-year-old says hes not concerned how that might affect the matchup.Are they that familiar with me? Woodley asked. I dont think they are. I think theyre extremely familiar with what they saw a year and a half ago. How much have they seen since? Ill be jumping off the cage in this fight for all they know, throwing spinning backfists and flying armbars. They have no clue what Im coming with.If Lawler does possess inside knowledge on Woodley, he certainly isnt hinting at it. As is the case before all his fights, Lawler says his entire focus is on himself. Hes hoping for a finish, rather than another five-round war, but if it comes to that, he knows where he stands.Its not something I worry about, whether my opponents have that heart in them or not, Lawler said. All I know is that I have it. If they end up having it too, thats when you see something special. But I dont know what the other guy is bringing to the table. Im doing what I can to get them out of there. Thats about it.Where many see a stoic, ruthless juggernaut, who (and this actually is a quote from Lawler) looks to claim an opponents soul in a fight, Woodley sees a beatable opponent who doesnt scare him one bit.He has been put away before, Woodley said. Jacare [Ronaldo] Souza? Nick Diaz? I remember those fights. I watched those fights. Tim Kennedys wrestling was too much for him. Lorenz Larkin was too fast. I possess all those skills, but better. Styles make fights, you know what I mean?I think hes showing a lot of caution before this fight because he knows my style -- he has to respect it.

Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. Here are some things to watch in the Atlantic Coast Conference for Week 13:GAMES OF THE WEEK: Virginia at Virginia Tech and North Carolina State at North Carolina. A pair of instate rivalries will decide who plays No. 4 Clemson in the ACC championship game next week in Orlando, Florida. The Hokies (8-3, 5-2) win the Coastal Division title with a victory over the Cavaliers or a loss by the Tar Heels (8-3, 5-2), while North Carolina needs to win Friday and hope Tech loses to earn a repeat berth in the title game.BEST MATCHUP: Florida State offense vs. Florida defense. QB Deondre Francois and the Seminoles have been humming right along all year, averaging 482 total yards to rank behind only Louisville and Clemson in the leagues stat rankings. Now comes a significant test from their cross-state rivals -- the Gators have the Southeastern Conferences second-best total defense and are tops against the pass, allowing just 160 yards through the air per game.INSIDE THE NUMBERS: With four instate rivalries against Southeastern Conference teams on the schedule, this marks the ACCs last chance in the regular season to beef up its nonconference record. The ACC is 39-13 against non-league opponents, but is just 6-5 against teams from the other four power conferences -- the SEC (3-2), Big Ten (3-1), Pac-12 (0-1) and Big 12 (0-1).ddddddddddddUPSET WATCH: Duke figures to carry a grudge into its matchup at Miami. The Blue Devils (4-7, 1-6) are two-touchdown underdogs to the Hurricanes and are coming off a humiliating loss at Pittsburgh. They need a win to have any hope of reaching a fifth straight bowl, because their high APR scores move them to the front of the line of five-win teams eligible for the postseason. And they certainly havent forgotten the wacky ending to last years game, decided on Miamis eight-lateral kickoff return for a TD that the ACC later said shouldnt have counted.IMPACT PLAYER: Clemson RB Wayne Gallman is coming off his best game of the season, a 161-yard, two-touchdown performance in a 35-13 victory over Wake Forest. Hell look to keep rolling against a South Carolina defense that ranks just ninth in the SEC against the run and allowed Western Carolina of the FCS to rush for 236 yards last week.---Compiled by AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Raleigh, North Carolina.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
