Aftermath and Legacy

Doping Violations

Following UFC 201 on July 30, 2016, fighter Francisco Rivera was notified by the (USADA) on August 18, 2016, of a potential anti-doping policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition urine sample collected on July 23, 2016, which tested positive for , a prohibited anabolic agent under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy. During the investigation, claimed the positive test resulted from consuming contaminated meat during a trip to , but USADA determined this explanation was implausible due to the concentration levels, which exceeded typical contamination thresholds. Rivera submitted falsified documents, including fabricated travel receipts and veterinary records, to support his contamination defense; an independent arbitrator ruled these actions constituted intentional use and deceitful conduct, elevating the violation from negligent to aggravated. On January 19, 2018, USADA issued a four-year period of ineligibility, backdated to August 17, 2016—the date of his provisional suspension—effectively barring him from UFC competition until 2020 and concluding his tenure with the promotion, where he had last fought Iuri Alcantara at UFC 201 (a loss by submission in the second round, which was not overturned as a result of the violation). This case occurred under the UFC's partnership with USADA, which began on , 2015, to implement rigorous year-round testing and stricter penalties for performance-enhancing drug use in . No other anti-doping violations were reported among the fighters at UFC 201. After serving his suspension, Rivera returned to professional MMA on regional circuits in , competing in promotions such as XMMA and , where he secured several victories before retiring on December 1, 2024, following a first-round TKO loss to David Martinez at United Fight Night 2 in .

Title and Career Impacts

Tyron Woodley's first-round victory over at UFC 201 on July 30, 2016, marked the end of Lawler's championship reign, which had lasted 602 days since capturing the title at in December 2014. This emphatic stoppage, delivered via a straight right hand at 2:12 of the opening round, propelled Woodley into a dominant era at 170 pounds, where he retained the belt through five defenses over the next two and a half years. Woodley's successful defenses included a against Thompson at in November 2016, a unanimous decision win over at in July 2017, a victory in the rematch with Thompson at in November 2017, a technical of at in January 2018, and another draw with Thompson at in June 2018, before ultimately losing the title to via at in March 2019. The shift underscored a transition from Lawler's high-volume striking style to Woodley's wrestling-based pressure and power, reshaping contender matchups and emphasizing defensive grappling in the division. In the women's strawweight division, Karolina Kowalkiewicz's split decision upset over in the co-main event earned her an immediate title opportunity against champion at on November 12, 2016, where she fell short via unanimous decision after five rounds. Kowalkiewicz's performance at UFC 201 elevated her from unranked prospect to top contender status, highlighting her resilience and prowess, though the title loss initiated a period of inconsistency that saw her win streak end. Meanwhile, Namajunas, despite the defeat, demonstrated her adaptability by rebounding with victories over Michelle Waterson at UFC on Fox 24 in April 2017 and at on November 4, 2017, where she claimed the strawweight title via submission in the first round. This outcome reinforced the competitive depth of the 115-pound class, with Namajunas's later championship run—spanning two reigns—cementing her as a cornerstone figure post-UFC 201. Wilson Reis's first-round submission of Héctor via rear-naked choke on short notice at UFC 201 boosted his flyweight ranking to No. 6, positioning him for a title challenge against champion at on October 7, 2017, where he was submitted via rear-naked choke in the third round. Reis's dominant showing against the debuting , a former CFFC champion, affirmed his status as a top grappler but the title loss contributed to a 1-3 skid that stalled his momentum. 's quick defeat marked the end of his brief UFC tenure, as the California native was released following the event without securing another appearance, shifting his career back to regional promotions. Beyond the headline bouts, Jake Ellenberger's first-round technical knockout of Matt Brown via body kick at UFC 201 represented his final victory in the promotion, coming after a three-fight skid and preceding losses to Thiago Alves in February 2017 and in November 2018, which prompted his retirement announcement in May 2019. For , his second-round submission of Hayisaer by arm-triangle choke on the preliminary card ignited a seven-fight from 2017 to 2019, including triumphs over , , and , propelling him into the welterweight top 15 and establishing him as a perennial contender with 15 UFC wins overall; as of November 2025, Luque remains active, having suffered a unanimous decision loss to on October 11, 2025, at UFC Fight Night in Rio de Janeiro. UFC 201 is enduringly remembered for Woodley's devastating of Lawler, which symbolized the dawn of a new defensive-oriented era in the division amid Lawler's storied offensive legacy. The event's moderate performance, drawing approximately 240,000 buys, reflected solid but not record-breaking interest, influencing the UFC's cautious return to with subsequent cards like in April 2019 and UFC Fight Night: Usman vs. Buckley in June 2025 at .
