Tom Lawlor vs Tim Credeur on tap for UFC 113

by James Kimball on Feb 9, 2010 9:46 PM EST

Middleweights Tom Lawlor and Tim Credeur has have agreed to "get it on" at UFC 113, which is planned for the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on May 8, according to MixedMartialArts.com.

"The Filthy Mauler" is coming off a controversial split decision loss to Aaron Simpson at UFC Fight Night 20 last month in Fairfax, Virginia. Many people watching the bout on Spike TV, as well as live inside the Patriot Center, had Lawlor winning two of three rounds to secure his third consecutive win in the UFC.

Just not all the judges sitting ringside.

Prior to the setback, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 competitor had knocked off two other former TUF products, including Kyle Klingsbury and C.B. Dollaway in back-to-back contests.

Tim "Crazy" Credeur was last seen in an absolute war with Nate Quarry last September. Even though he was on the wrong end of the unanimous decision, he and "The Rock" were rewarded for their classic battle with "Fight of the Night" honors.

Credeur had won his first three bouts in the UFC following his stint on TUF 7.

UFC 113 is expected to be headlined by a rematch between Lyoto Machida and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. The card's co-main event is set to feature an exciting welterweight match up between perennial top contender, Josh Koscheck, and the explosive Paul Daley.

Kimbo Slice is also expected to make his pay-per-view (PPV) debut against fellow TUF 10 cast member, Matt Mitrione.

no way a loser leaves town.

after Lawlor and Creduer’s last performances (simpson and Quarry) theres no way they get cut. both were FotN, if im not mistaken.

As good as Lawlor looked vs Simpson, I think Credeur wins this. Good fight though.. Both guys have turned into far more exciting fighters than I would have though when they left TUF.

My breakout fighter for this coming year: Terry Etim

Upset of the Year: John Hathaway over Diego Sanchez

Yeah i don’t see why they’d cut the loser of these two.

What does everyone think of Thiago Silva vs. Luis Cane?
Sounds awesome to me!

Lawlor is the winner

He looked good on his feet in his last fight, better than Credeur and he should be able to avoid subs.

Credeur's stand up is not bad

He was owning Nate before he ate a huge right hand; it rattled him but he managed to shake it off; a shot like that would’ve completely destroyed Tito Ortiz, luckily Tim’s not a p*ssy like Tito.

no it's not bad but

Nate Quarry’s standup is real bad, he moves around like a robot no footwork whatsoever and looks to be extremely stiff he’s also defending punches with his face, luckily for him he knows how to throw a hard punch and take a good punch.

Tito would have never got hit by Nate Quarry btw, he knows how to keep his hands up and not try to bumrush anybody with his hands infront of him swingning wild for a finish.

Matteo Serra is the mayn! Forza Italia.
