Carlos Condit is an authority on all things Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley.

As a man who has faced both Woodley and Lawler inside the UFC Octagon, it's logical that Condit boasts some keen insight into their UFC 201 matchup July 30 in Atlanta.

While many of the bookmakers have the current champion as a firm favorite, Condit is instead calling for an upset this weekend. Speaking today to Brian Stann on the latest episode of his "Toe-2-Toe" radio show, Condit gave a detailed breakdown of how he expects the fight to play out.

"I think it's an interesting matchup," Condit said. "Both these guys surge and then they rest, they surge and then they rest. Tyron Woodley seems to get tired as the fight goes on, but Robbie Lawler seems to be able to recharge his batteries while he is resting.

"Tyron Woodley is an amazing wrestler, but Robbie Lawler has great wrestling defense. I think the difference in this fight and the outcome is going to depend on who can keep the pressure on the other guy in those resting periods. Who can push the pace and not let the other guy rest?"

Condit then made his pick.

"I honestly think I'm going to have to go with Woodley," he said. "Robbie Lawler is a phenomenal fighter, but he's been in so many wars recently I'm wondering how much damage he has taken and how much of a toll this is going to take on him."

Condit then explained how he thought Woodley's relative inexperience could in fact been an advantage for him.

"Woodley is relatively new to the sport compared to either Robbie or myself," he continued. "He hasn't been in as many wars, and he hasn't taken as much damage. He's a very fast fighter and very explosive. So, if I had to make a pick, I think I'd go with Woodley."

Unsurprisingly, Condit still harbors his own title ambitions, and he believes that a win against Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night Vancouver will put him back in contention of getting the next shot at the belt.

"I believe that a win against Demian Maia is spectacular fashion will get me the title shot," Condit said. "I don't see why it wouldn't. Demian Maia is arguably the number-one contender but the reason he's not is because of his fighting style. He's not the most exciting dude, but he's beaten the 'who's who' in the division. I believe that a win over him gets me back to a shot and to get the belt around my waist."

Suffice to say, Condit isn't expecting an easy night against the Brazilian who is currently riding a five-fight win streak.

"Demian is a tough fight," Condit admitted. "If there was any other way to get to number one contender I'd probably do it as well, but, I've never backed down from a challenge and it's exciting to me to try to solve the puzzle that is Demian Maia."
