Tom Lawlor vs. Tim Credeur Set for UFC 113 on May 8 in Montreal
A middleweight bout between The Ultimate Fighter 8′s Tom Lawlor and TUF 7 semifinalist Tim Credeur has been signed for UFC 113 on May 8 in Montreal, Canada, according to MixedMartialArts.com.
Lawlor (6-2) made his UFC debut in December 2008 with a unanimous decision over Kyle Kingsbury, then won “Submission of the Night” honors last July at UFC 100 for his 55-second guillotine of TUF 7 finalist CB Dollaway. In his most-recent bout at UFC Fight Night 20 in January, Lawlor dropped a split decision to Aaron Simpson in the “Fight of the Night”.
Credeur (12-3), twice-eliminated in the TUF 7 semis by Jesse Taylor and Dollaway, began his UFC career with three-straight wins over Cale Yarbrough, Nate Loughran, and Nick Catone, but had his six-fight win streak snapped in a September “Fight of the Night” loss to Nate Quarry at UFC Fight Night 19. An injury forced Credeur to withdraw from a scheduled January bout against Mike Massenzio.
UFC 113, which airs live on pay-per-view from the Bell Centre in Montreal, is headlined by the anticipated rematch between light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, and is also expected to feature Paul Daley vs. Josh Koscheck and Kimbo Slice vs. Matt Mitrione.

2 guys that let it all hang out! This should be a great fight
Yeah dude this is a great matchup.
09′ fight of the year participant Credeur, is a tough a$$ dude! Lawlor however has more overall power and skills imho and I would go with lawlor on this one if it werent for the fact that he didn’t finish simpson and totally gassed out, while on the other hand, timmy went to war with nate and never quit. So i don’t know who to go with.
Good matchup!
Agree great fight. Two decent fighters that are around the same level talent wise should be a great fight.
I know some Canadians were [rightfully] p!ssed that decent fights had been slid onto other cards, plus GSP fighting in Jimmy Hoffa’s graveyard instead of at home, but this is a He11a good start at making it up to Montreal IMO…
not a bad start at all.
This should be an excellent fight. Too bad that both men are on the heels of close decision losses, and likely one of them will be hitting the road.
I was thinking that maybe both guys could save their jobs by dropping a FoTN at 113…
