UFC 201 takes place at Philips Arena in Atlanta and is headlined by a welterweight title tilt between Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley.
Pearson is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Brooks, the former Bellator 155-pound king, on July 8. “The Real Deal” has alternated wins and losses for the past nine bouts. His last two-fight winning streak occurred between late 2012 and early 2013.
Masvidal, meanwhile, has lost three of his last four, including a split verdict to Lorenz Larkin on May 29. “Gamebred” is 1-2 since moving to welterweight, with his lone victory coming against Cezar Ferreira.
