UFC 181 fight time, TV schedule for Hendricks vs. Lawler

The UFC's final PPV of 2014 takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it features a loaded lineup of talent capped off with two championship bouts for fans to savour. Welterweight champion Johny Hendricks once again takes on Robbie Lawler, who he beat back in March to capture the belt that was abdicated by Georges St-Pierre. In the co-main event at the Mandalay Bay, lightweight champion Anthony Pettis makes his first title defense against Gilbert Melendez, whose last shot at UFC gold ended in a close decision loss to Ben Henderson. Both men have been out of the cage for more than a year. The main card is rounded out by Travis Browne battling Brendan Schaub, Todd Duffee clashing with Anthony Hamilton, and Tony Ferguson opening the show versus Abel Trujillo.
